You receive certificates from partners for signature verification, encryption, and back-channel authentication. They are managed within connections.
- Signature verification
- You specify one or more certificates that PingFederate can use to validate the digital signatures found in inbound messages from your partners.
- Encryption
- You specify a certificate that PingFederate uses to encrypt the outbound messages before delivering them to your partners.
- Back-channel authentication
- You specify a certificate that Pingfederate uses to authenticate inbound (SOAP) messages from your partners by their client certificates.
Note:
Depending on the use cases, your connection to the partner may not require signature verification, encryption, inbound (SOAP) back-channel authentication by client certificate, or any such combinations. If so, the Activation & Summary screen does not display the related administrative screen.
