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