Direct Connect Authentication Processor Business Service (J43E0010)

The Direct Connect Authentication Processor business service (J43E0010) is a transaction service that invokes the HTTP service to connect to the vendor's website and authenticates the user credentials.

When a user signs in to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system and tries to access a vendor's shopping catalog using the Shopping Cart program (P43E25) or the Requisition Entry program (P43E10), the system calls the Parse Buyer Cookie business function (B43E0041), which gathers the user's credentials and sends the data to the J43E0010 business service.

The business service creates the request message and posts it to the HTTP connection service. The HTTP connection service sends the request to the vendor's website, where the user's credentials are authenticated.

The vendor's website then returns a response message, which is received by the business services server in cXML 1.2.016 PunchOutSetupResponse schema format. The J43E0010 business service then transforms the response message, or payload, from cXML 1.2.016 to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne XML format so that it can be read. This return message includes the URL for the vendor's shopping catalog. For this data transformation to occur successfully, you must set up file path names for all transformer documents.

If processing is successful, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system opens a browser and displays the vendor's website. The business services returns to the user any errors or warning messages that are encountered during processing.
