Implementing Node Authentication
This section discusses how to:
Set up password-based node authentication.
Set up certificate-based node authentication.
You can implement node authentication with a password or digital certificates.
To implement password authentication, you select the Password option from the Authentication drop-down list in a node definition, and enter a password. When you do this for a default local node definition, you must enter the same password in any remote node definition that represents the same node on the other participating systems.
Certificate-based node authentication involves the following tasks:
You must supply the digital certificates containing the private and public keys required for authenticated transactions.
These elements are required at every node that participates in an authenticated transaction; PeopleSoft Integration Broker handles the mechanics of applying the keys.
You must select the Certificate option from the Authentication drop-down list in a node definition.
When you do this in a default local node definition, you must select the same option in any remote node definition that represents the same node on the other participating systems.
