Configure mTLS Connection
You can configure the application to send the messages using mTLS connection. With mutual TLS authentication (mTLS), not only does the service side prove its identity by exposing a certificate, but also the clients prove their identity to the servers by exposing a client-side certificate.
In this reference the term "client" refers to Applications Interface, which performs an API call to a "server" (external system), which receives the message and provides the result back in the response. To use mTLS connection, perform these steps and settings:
- Generate root certificate (root ca) and private key for the certificate.
- Generate client private key and client certificate signed with root ca.
- Generate server private key and client certificate signed with root ca.
