Sterling B2B Integrator - Configure Profile Manager

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

Profile Manager in Sterling B2B Integrator enables you to configure the following profiles:

Bank
Partner
User

Note: To prevent case insensitivity among various databases, you must provide the profile ID (bank, partner, and user) values in upper-case. If you provide the profile ID values in any other format, Sterling B2B Integrator changes the value to upper-case.

Create a Bank Profile

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

Creating RSA Keys

Use the openssl tool 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.key files along with their respective <CertName>.der files to the local file system.

Creating HTTPS Certificate for EBICS Server HTTPS Communication

If a CA issued certificate is available, check in the pfx or p12 file into Trading Partner > Digital Certificates > System and the CA root certificate into Trading Partner > Digital Certificates > CA.

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

Creating EBICS HTTP Server Adapter

Under Deployment > Services > Configuration, search for EBICS HTTP Server Adapter. click Copy, rename it and give the port number on which EBICS Server accepts requests from the EBICS Clients. Under this configuration, select Use SSL to configure the EBICS Server for HTTPS configuration.

In the next page, select the system certificate, which is created during the previous step.

To change the default URI, delete the EBICSRequest and create a custom URI with business process to be run as handleEBICSRequest.

Click suspend to suspend and stop the user from transacting further. After the user is suspended using this suspend option, initialization by sending INI and HIA is not possible. Suspension can only be revoked by the bank by clicking Reset.

This step is applicable only if you opted to add a new associate partner or edit an existing associate partner.

The bank assigns a set of permissions, order types and file formats, to a user based on the contract.

In the Associated Partners: User Settings page, specify values for the fields listed in the following table, and click Next.

Field	Description
Associate Partner
Partner ID	Required. Specify the partner to which a user is associated in the Partner ID field. A user can be under many partners. You can also select a partner ID from a list of Partner IDs by clicking the Lookup icon next to the Partner ID field.
Mailbox Settings
Upload Mailbox Path	Required. Specify the mailbox path for the uploaded messages. You must assign a mailbox path to store the unpacked messages from an EBICS request. The mailbox is auto-created if the User ID, Partner ID, and Inbox Settings are not specified. A default mailbox path is set if no value is provided. If the mailbox (User ID, Partner ID, Inbox), already exists in Sterling B2B Integrator and if you leave this field blank, an error message asking you to specify the default mailbox path is displayed. Note: Ensure that the mailbox path starts with a forward slash (/).
Download Mailbox Path	Required. Specify the mailbox path for the downloaded messages. You must assign a mailbox path to store the messages that are packaged as part of an EBICS response. The mailbox is auto-created if the User ID, Partner ID, and Outbox Settings are not specified. A default mailbox path is set if no value is provided. If the mailbox (User ID, Partner ID, Outbox) already exists in Sterling B2B Integrator, and if you leave this field blank, an error message asking you to specify the default mailbox path is displayed. Note: Ensure that the mailbox path starts with a forward slash (/).
Archive Mailbox Path	Required. Specify the mailbox path for archiving the downloaded messages. You must assign a mailbox path to store the messages downloaded by an FDL request, for example, Payment Status Report (PSR). The mailbox is auto-created if the User ID, Partner ID, and Archive Settings are not specified. A default mailbox path is set if no value is provided. If the mailbox (User ID, Partner ID, Archive) already exists in Sterling B2B Integrator, and if you leave this field blank, an error message asking you to specify the default mailbox path is displayed. Note: Ensure that the mailbox path starts with a forward slash (/).

In the Associated Partners page, click Next.
In the Confirm page, verify the user configuration settings.
Click Show All next to Associate Partner(s) to view the list of partners associated with the user. After verifying all user configuration settings, click Finish.

Delete User Profile

You can delete a user profile from the Administration menu.

To delete a user profile, complete the following steps:

Note: You cannot delete a user profile if order types have been assigned to the user while configuring user permissions.

From the Administration menu, select EBICS > Subscription Manager > Profile Manager > User Configuration.
Using either Search or List, locate the user ID you want to delete and click Go.
Next to the user ID you want to delete, click delete.
Note: Deleting a user profile does not delete the corresponding mailboxes that have already been created.
Click Return to return to the User Configuration page.
