Create an authentication certificate integration type

You need to create an Authentication Certificate integration type in the Integration Center to support access token-based authentication in the Commerce/Oracle Configure, Price, Quote integration.

Oracle Configure, Price, Quote provides an Authentication Certificate integration type in the Integration Center to support access token-based authentication. This integration type allows Oracle Commerce self-service users to securely access Oracle Configure, Price, Quote to modify or reconfigure a Subscription Ordering asset-based Configuration without an Oracle Configure, Price, Quote user session.

When administrators create a new integration of type Authentication Certificate, they provide a name and variable name for the authentication certificate and upload the Commerce authentication certificate. A temporary session is created for the Commerce self-service user, allowing the user to access theModel Configuration page via an iFrame within Commerce to modify or reconfigure a specific asset.

To create an Authentication Certificate integration type, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Admin Home page.
  2. Select Integration Center under Integration Platform. The Integration Center opens.
  3. Click Create Integration.
  4. From the Type drop-down, select Authentication Certificate.
  5. In the Name field, enter a name that describes the authentication certificate. For example: Commerce
  6. The Variable Name field auto-populates upon clicking in or tabbing to the field.
  7. (Optional) In the Description field, enter a description of the authentication certificate.
  8. Click Browse next to the Authentication Certificate label.
  9. Select the Oracle Commerce authentication certificate and click Open.
  10. ClickSave. The Authentication Certificate integration appears in the left pane of the Integration Center.Screen shot of Integration Center

Notes:

  • The Save button is disabled upon successfully saving the integration. If the changes are made after the save is performed, the button is enabled.
  • Administrators can modify the name of the integration but not the variable name. They can also replace the authentication certificate but cannot remove it.
  • A single Oracle Configure, Price, Quote site can have any number of Authentication Certificate integrations. There is no limit.
