HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTPSCA Transports

TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition supports the following HTTP transports:

• HTTP: This is a request/response protocol between clients and servers. TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition supports the HTTP transport for the trading hosts and trading partners.
• HTTPS: This is an HTTP transport over a secure connection. The server uses its private key when setting up the secure connection.

  Before configuring HTTPS, you must set up a private key for the server as described in Certificates topic. TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition supports the HTTPS transport for the trading hosts and trading partners.

• HTTPCA: With HTTPS (Client Authentication), trading partners authenticate themselves to the host by signing messages with their private key. The host uses the public key in the partner’s certificate file to authenticate the partner. Before configuring HTTPS (Client Authentication), you must set up a certificate file for the trading partner. For more information, see Manage Credentials for Partners
