5.2.1 Configuring the Subscriber to Make HTTPS Connections to the Remote Web Service

If the remote Web service you are accessing allows HTTPS connections, you can configure the Subscriber channel to take advantage of this capability. You need a trust store containing a certificate issued by the certificate authority that signed the server’s certificate. See Section 5.3.1, Configuring the Publisher to Receive HTTPS Connections for an example.

Import this certificate into a trust store using Java’s keytool. For more information on keytool, see Keytool - Key and Certificate Management Tool.

  1. Import the certificate into your trust store or create a new trust store by entering the following command at the command prompt:

    keytool -import -file name_of_cert_file -trustcacerts -noprompt -keystore filename -storepass password        
    

    For example:

    keytool -import -file tree_ca_root.b64 -trustcacerts -noprompt -keystore dirxml.keystore -storepass novell
    
  2. Configure the Subscriber channel to use the trust store you created in Step 1.

    1. In iManager, click Identity Manager > Identity Manager Overview.

    2. Locate the driver set containing the SOAP driver, then click the driver’s icon to display the Identity Manager Driver Overview page.

    3. On the Identity Manager Driver Overview page, click the driver’s icon again, then scroll to Subscriber Settings.

    4. In the Truststore File setting, specify the path to the trust store you created in Step 1.

  3. Click Apply, then click OK.

5.2.2 Configuring the Subscriber to Use a Proxy

You can configure the subscriber to use an HTTP or HTTPS proxy server.

  1. In iManager, click Identity Manager > Identity Manager Overview.

  2. Locate the driver set containing the SOAP driver, then click the driver’s icon to display the Identity Manager Driver Overview page.

  3. On the Identity Manager Driver Overview page, click the driver’s icon again, then scroll to Subscriber Settings.

  4. In the Proxy Host and Port field, specify the host and port of the proxy using the following format:
