Generate Client Certificate and Private Key Files

If the web service provider authenticates the PowerCenter Integration Service, you must configure the client certificate and private key files. You can generate client certificate and private key files and use these files to configure the Web Service Consumer application connection.

You can generate the client certificate and private key files in a single file or as separate files.

Generate One Certificate File

To generate the client certificate file and private key file in a single file, use the following command:

openssl pkcs12 -in <certificate authority file>.p12 -out test1.pem -clcerts

The command generates a single certificate file in the PEM format. In the Web Service Consumer application connection, use the single certificate file while configuring both the client certificate file and the private key file. Use the password that you provide after running the OpenSSL command to configure the Web Service Consumer application connection.

Generate Keys in Separate Files

To generate the client certificate file, use the following command:

 openssl pkcs12 -in <certificate authority file>.p12 -nokeys -out clientcert.pem

To generate the private key file, use the following command:

openssl pkcs12 -in <certificate authority file>.p12 -nocerts -out pk.pem

The command generates certificate files in the PEM format. In the Web Service Consumer application connection, specify the fully qualified path along with the client certificate and private key files. Use the passwords that you provide after running the OpenSSL commands to configure the Web Service Consumer application connection.
