calling flow service through https ssl certificates without credentials

  • 1.  calling flow service through https ssl certificates without credentials

    Posted Wed October 23, 2019 01:58 PM

    Hi,

    I am calling flow service through https post method between two integration servers. This is working good with credentials.

    As part of my POC i need to make a https call only with certificates and should skip credentials.

    In order to make it work I followed the below steps:

    Changed https port to ‘Request client certificates’ in the target server. But getting exception.

    Is there any more steps required?

    Thanks,
    Chandra K

    Hi Chandra ,

    If I get your requirement correctly you want to execute a flow service based on Client Certificate Authentication .

    There is a good blog article written by someone , which describes step by step process to achieve it.

    Please find the link mentioned below :

    Thanks to the writer of the blog , good and well written.

    HI Chandra,

    you have to select “Require Client Certificates”, if you are looking only certification based authentication

    Request Client Certificates
    Integration Server requests client certificates for all requests. If the client does not provide a certificate, the server prompts the client for a userid and password

    Require Client Certificates
    Integration Server requires client certificates for all requests.

    refer HTTPS configuration in IS administator guide

    let me know if you have any concern.
