Security Enhancement when Connecting Mediation Engine with Mediation Engine Connector or Fraud Monitor or Interactive Session Recorder

In 4.1.0.0.0, certificate validation is enabled for establishing HTTP connections secured by SSL (HTTPS). In order to establish secure and validated connections with each other, the machines need to be able to validate the certificate of each other. There is also an option if hostname should be validated.

When you connect Mediation Engine and Mediation Engineer Connector or Fraud Monitor, each machine must require a valid certificate for the other machine, so that machines can validate each other. This can be either the certificate found on the Server Certificate page of the other machine (self-signed) or the corresponding CA certificate (of the CA that signed the certificate).

When you connect Mediation Engine and Interactive Session Recorder, Mediation Engine requires a valid Interactive Session Recorder certificate to establish secure connection.

Post upgrade to 4.1.0.0.0, the connection between Mediation Engine and Mediation Engine connector or the connection between Mediation Engine and Interactive session recorder would not establish until each machine has valid certificates of the other.
