1. Using the AS4 Adapter with Oracle Integration 3
  2. Create an AS4 Adapter Connection
  3. Prerequisites for Creating a Connection

Prerequisites for Creating a Connection

You must satisfy the following prerequisites to create a connection with the AS4 Adapter:

This information is required to create an AS4 Adapter connection on the Connections page. See Configure Connection Properties and Configure Connection Security.

Trading Partner Endpoint Prerequisites

  • Ensure that the trading partner's AS4 endpoint to use is reachable from Oracle Integration.

  • Know the URL of the trading partner endpoint at which to receive AS4 messages.

Certificate and Private Key Prerequisites

Ensure that the necessary certificates and private keys used for encryption, decryption, signature generation, and signature verification are uploaded. See Upload a Certificate to Connect with External Services.

AS4 Advanced Username Password Token Policy Prerequisites

To use the AS4 Advanced Username Password Token Policy, know the following information based on what you plan to configure on the Connections page:
  • Inbound AS4 sign verify certificate alias
  • AS4 decryption private key alias and key password
  • AS4 endpoint user name and password
  • AS4 signature private key alias and password
  • Outbound AS4 encrypt certificate alias
  • Asynchronous receipt authentication user name and password
  • Private key and password to deliver a signed receipt
  • Inbound receipt signature verification certificate
  • Outbound response receipt verification certificate

AS4 Basic Username Password Token Policy Prerequisites

To use the AS4 Basic Username Password Token Policy, know the following information based on what you plan to configure on the Connections page:
  • HTTP authentication user name and password
  • Private key alias and password
  • Partner certificate alias

Two-Way SSL Connections in the Outbound Direction Prerequisites

If you want to use two-way SSL connections in the outbound direction, perform the following steps.

Note:

Two-way SSL connections in the inbound (trigger) direction are not supported.
  1. Generate a client certificate. The tasks are similar to what you perform for the REST Adapter or SOAP Adapter, except that the transport layer security (TLS) version is not needed. For an overview, see Create a Keystore File for a Two-Way, SSL-Based Integration in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration 3.
  2. Upload the certificate as an X.509 Identity. See Upload a Certificate to Connect with External Services.
  3. Remember the key alias you use.
  4. Configure a two-way SSL connection. See Configure Connection Properties.
    The settings you configure on the Connections page are used at runtime by the AS2 Adapter to perform SSL client authentication for two types of outgoing messages:
    • An AS4 outbound business message.
    • An outgoing asynchronous MDN message sent in response to an inbound AS4 business message.
