Import a Security Credential File

To secure your electronic transmissions, you can upload, import, and assign a security credential file to transmission configurations. A security credential file is a digital file that stores your security key.

The application uses this key to encrypt or authenticate data transmitted to remote third-party systems such as banks. The security credential file can be used for transmission security by any future process that runs and references the transmission configuration. The application understands which credential files are used by which protocols and displays only the appropriate ones in the setup pages.

Payments supports a variety of security-related credential files, including wallet files, trust store files, and digital certificates.

Note: This procedure is applicable to Oracle Cloud implementations only.

Before you can import a security credential file with its key into Payments, you must first create a Payments master encryption key.

Uploading the Wallet Security Credential File

Before you can import the security credential file, you must first upload it to Payments.

   A confirmation message indicates the process ran successfully.

8. Click the Close button.

9. Click the Refresh icon. The Import Security Credential Job appears in the Search Results section with a status of Succeeded.

Assigning the Wallet File to a Transmission Configuration

To assign the credential file to a transmission configuration, complete these steps:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to Financials > Payments > Manage Transmission Configurations.

2. On the Manage Transmission Configurations page in the Search section, select your protocol from the Protocol choice list and click Search.

3. In the Search Results section, click the applicable configuration link to open the Edit Transmission Configuration page.

4. In the Value field for your protocol's applicable parameter, select the file you created, uploaded, and imported.

   The name of the specific parameter used to import a security credential file depends upon the protocol.

You can now securely transmit electronic files using this transmission configuration.
