Verification & Vaildation of messages for ebMS in Oracle B2B

When a signed message comes into Oracle B2B using ebMS protocol, the following steps occur:

STEP 1: Verification:

The ebMS protocol itself does the verification by extracting the certificate from the message and uses this certificate to verify the signed message.


STEP 2: Validation

An additional feature of Oracle B2B is to perform another step after STEP1 for validation. Here, the public key in the repository is compared with that of the message. The public in the repository is uploaded while configuring the trading partner.

This feature can be turned off by adding the following property in the tip.properties:

*oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.tpa.verifyCertificate=false*

Further, it is strongly recommended that this additonal feature be turned off (by adding the above property) while working with high performance environments.
