Creating HTTPS Mutual Authentication (introduced in v6.1.0)

This section describe how to create HTTPS mutual authentication.

Ensure you have your setup according to one of the following modes (configured when setting up Configuration data during initial deployment):

• Tethered mode

• Untethered mode

Tethered Mode

This mode of configuration in Local Edition fetches the certificates, identities, and mutual authentication profiles from the Mashery OnPrem Manager (MOM).

Procedure

1. Login to Boomi Cloud API Management in tethered mode.

2. Create an identity in Boomi Cloud API Management.

3. Create a certificate in Boomi Cloud API Management.

4. Sync from MOM to download identities and certificates and update them in the Boomi Cloud API Management - Local Edition database.

   The HTTPS Client Profile can now be associated with the identity and/or certificate.

   note

   Creating an HTTPS Client Profile in tethered mode in Local Edition 6.x is the same as in Local Edition 5.x.

   The next cloud sync with Local Edition through the MOM will down-sync the HTTPS Client Profile to Local Edition 6.x.

   The Identity and/or Certificate data can be accessed and modified using Boomi Cloud API Management - Local Edition.

5. Log in to Boomi Cloud API Management ConfigUI and upload truststores to update synced identities and certificates. The truststores are not up-synced to MOM.

Untethered Mode

Procedure

1. Login to Boomi Cloud API Management in untethered mode.

2. Create an identity from Boomi Cloud API Management - Local Edition.

3. Create a certificate from Boomi Cloud API Management - Local Edition.

4. Create an HTTP Client Profile and associate the identity and the certificate to the HTTPS client profile.

The HTTPS Client Profile can now be associated with the identity and/or certificate.
