Trusting the Enterprise Connector SSL certificate

The Enterprise Connector Grid exposes a self-signed certificate. If you must connect remotely through HTTPS to the Enterprise Connector, this certificate must be trusted by the clients. This applies , for example, in these situations:

  • You want to access the Enterprise Connector management remotely.
  • You have an application that integrates through ION Messaging Service (IMS).

You can export the public key and have that key trusted at the client. Alternatively, you can use a certificate that is signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA).

To export the public key of the self-signed certificate, open the Enterprise Connector Management UI. Then export the public key of the certificate through your browser.

To configure a trusted CA certificate in the Enterprise Connector:

  1. Go to the Windows system where the Enterprise Connector service is installed.
  2. Open the Grid Management UI.
    1. Run the <Installation folder>\bin\AdminUI.cmd file.
    2. Accept the certificate warning.
    3. You can run AdminUI.cmd with another Windows user than the one used to install ION Enterprise Connector.
      To do so, you must add your user to one of these local Windows groups:
      • IONEnterpriseConnector_full
      • <installfolder>_full
      To add the user on Windows, start lusrmgr.msc.
  3. In the Grid Management Pages, select Security > Identities and select the Show Default Identities check box.
For details on this procedure, see "Managing HTTPS identities in the Grid Management Pages" in the Infor ION Grid Security Administration Guide.
