Evaluating SSL Certification Requirements

By default, PeopleSoft Test Framework requires a secure connection to the application database (an HTTPS connection).

When you launch the PeopleSoft Test Framework client, if the database that you are attempting to connect to does not have a valid SSL certificate, an error message appears, indicating that the environment does not allow unsecured connections. You should check with your PeopleSoft Test Framework administrator to resolve the error.

PeopleSoft Test Framework administrators can activate the PTTST_CONFIG_NO_SSL web service if a connection to an unsecured database is allowed. Once the web service is active, when a user starts the PeopleSoft Test Framework client and it attempts to connect to an unsecured database, a warning message appears indicating that the connection is not secure, but it provides an option to connect anyway.

To activate the PTTST_CONFIG_NO_SSL web service:

1. In the application database, access the Service Operations – Search page by selecting PeopleTools, and then Integration Broker, and then Integration Setup, and then Service Operation Definitions.

2. In the Service Operations field, enter PTTST_CONFIG_NO_SSL and click the Search button.

3. In the Service Operations search results, click the PTTST_CONFIG_NO_SSL link to access the Service Operations – General page.

4. Select the Regenerate Any-to-Local check box.

5. Select the Active check box to activate the service operation, then click the Save button.
