Adding an Outgoing Peer Connection
The following covers how to add an Outgoing Peer Connection.
For more information on managing Peer Connectors, see Peer Systems Operations and for conceptual information about Peer Systems, see Peer Systems Overview .
Prerequisites
The instructions assume the following:
Two EJBCA nodes, designated Outgoing/Upstream and Incoming/Downstream.
An Authentication Key Binding is already set up for this outgoing connection, see Setting up an Authentication Key Binding.
Add an Outgoing Peer Connection
To create an Outgoing Peer Connection:
In the CA UI, click Peer Systems in the menu to view the Peer Systems Management page, then click Add to create a new Outgoing Peer Connection
Name the connector as desired, configure the URL to the downstream node and make sure that the correct Authentication Key Binding is selected. If this connector is going to serve an RA, select Process incoming requests (for a VA you may leave it disabled).
Click Create to add the Outgoing Peer Connection.
The Outgoing Peer Connector has now been created and is ready for use by for example a publisher.
