Using SSL for Infor Security Transactions

You have the option to run Infor Security transactions through an https port using SSL. To do this, you must have a digital certificate, which is an electronic document used to verify the unique identities of principals and entities over networks.

Note: Use the instructions provided by third party product vendors to import security certificates.

Infor recommends that you install the latest certificate and ensure that your web tier architecture is up-to-date. Infor will support the latest encryption technology available.

Use SSL for Infor Security Transactions

  1. Use one of the following to obtain a certificate:

    • Purchase one from a Certification Authority (CA).

    • Generate one using the tools provided with the Java SDK. If you generate your own keystore, you will have to re-generate it every three months.

  2. Add the security certificate to the following components of the Lawson system:

    • The web server

    • The JDK used by the Lawson system, which is referenced by the LAW_JAVA_HOME variable.

    • The JDK used by the application server (if different from the one used by the Lawson system).

    • If you plan to use ldaps, the security certificate must be added to the LDAP.
