Sterling B2B Integrator - Configure Profile Manager. The EBICS Order Authorization service handles incoming order requests for the bank-technical upload order type.

Read the article →

You can configure bank, partner, and user profiles in the Profile Manager.

  • Bank
  • Partner
  • User

EBICS Server supports creating bank configuration using RSA Keys and X509 Certificates. A bank profile includes the EBICS host information.

  • Use theopenssltool to create 2 sets of certificates one each for Authentication and Encryption.
  • Use the commands listed below to create the certificates -

openssl genpkey -outform DER -out hostRSAAuthPrivate.key -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt

rsa_keygen_bits:2048

openssl rsa -inform DER -in hostRSAAuthPrivate.key -pubout -out

form DER -out hostRSAAuthPublic.der

openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform DER -in hostRSAAuthPrivate.key -out

form DER -nocrypt -out hostRSAAuthPrivate_pkcs8.key

  • Move the<KeyName> _pkcs8.keyfiles along with their respective <CertName>.derfiles to the local file system.

If a CA issued certificate is available, check in thepfxor p12file into Trading Partner> Digital Certificates> Systemand the CA root certificate into Trading Partner> Digital Certificates> CA.

Alternatively, you can create a self signed certificate underTrading Partner> Digital Certificates> System.
