Certificate-based authentication

Last Updated : Oct 16, 2020 |

For the Context Store certificate-based authentication, you must complete the following tasks in the System Manager web portal:

  • Configure the client certificate challenge in Avaya Breeze® platform. The configuration option is available on the HTTP security page.

  • Create a client key store.

  • Download the Avaya Breeze® platform trusted certificate from System Manager.

  • Authenticate browsers.

Ensure that the client applications that access the Context Store operations provide the location and credentials of the client certificate and trusted certificate to establish a secure session with the Context Store cluster.

  • For information about Avaya Breeze® platform certificate-based authentication, see the Security chapter in the Avaya Breeze® platform Overview and Specification document.

  • For information about Avaya Aura® System Manager certificate-based authentication, see the Security Enhancement section in the Avaya Aura® System Manager Overview and Specification document.

Cross Origin Resource Sharing

Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) provides access to Context Store requests that originate from other domains. The configuration option is available on the HTTP security page through the Avaya Breeze® platform.

Note:

When you enable the client certificate challenge, web clients cannot authenticate through Javascript Ajax calls. You cannot send the client certificate because the browser and the Javascript layer are disconnected.
