Ping Interval

SSL

You can choose to allow connections from clients who are part of the allowlist or use two-way SSL. The different connections are:

  • None (Allowed List)- Connects with EM Hub using HTTP connection. When this option is selected, keystore and truststore related fields are disabled.

  • Server Certificates Only (Allowed List)- Lets to connect with one-way SSL. When this option is selected, keystore and keystore password fields are disabled. However, truststore related fields are enabled

  • Client and Server Certificate- Lets to connect with EM Hub using two-way SSL. When this option is selected, keystore and truststore related fields are enabled.

If the EM Hub server uses the connection type HTTP or one-way SSL, then the client hostname or IP address need to be added to the allowedhost.properties file so that the client host is allowed to make a connection request.

The allowedhost.properties file is available in /webserv/peoplesoft/applications/peoplesoft/PSEMHUB.war/envmetadata/config/.
