Security

This integration offers Secure Socket Layer (SSL) one-way and two-way options for secure network communications. It also provides secure data access policies and ways to override them selectively.

• SSL for Direct Integration
  SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a way of achieving secure communication over a network so that only the client and the server have access to the data being transferred. To implement this security for the integration between Sterling Order Management and WebSphere Commerce, we can enable SSL as part of Direct Integration. This choice is optional.

• Data access policies override
  In an integrated environment, orders entered on the WebSphere Commerce system must be able to access the Sterling Order Management process.
