How to Assign a Certificate to a Send Port

  • Article

This topic describes how to use the BizTalk Server Administration console to assign a security certificate to a send port. The certificate must exist in the Other People certificate store on the computer running BizTalk Server, or messages associated with this send port will not be processed, and errors will be logged.

Note

The application developer can assign a security certificate to a send port during the development process by using the procedure in this topic.

Prerequisites

To perform the procedure in this topic, you must be logged on with an account that is a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators group. For more detailed information on permissions, see Permissions Required for Deploying and Managing a BizTalk Application.

To assign a certificate to a send port

  1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft BizTalk Server 20xx, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. In the console tree, expand the BizTalk group and the BizTalk application for which you want to assign a certificate to a send port.

  3. Expand Send Ports, right-click the send port, click Properties, and then click Certificate.

  4. If the certificate exists on the local computer, click Browse, browse to the certificate that you want to assign to this send port, and then click OK. Otherwise, skip this step.

    Note

    Even if the certificate exists on the local computer, it must also exist on the computer running BizTalk Server, if different, before the send port will be able to process messages.

  5. If the certificate does not exist on the local computer, in the Thumbprint box, type or paste the certificate thumbprint, and then click OK. The certificate thumbprint has the format HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH, where H is a hexadecimal digit.
