Creating a new communication data package for a connector

When an unmanaged connector is added, a communication data package is automatically created for that connector. If necessary, you can create a new communication data package for the connector (for example, if the certificate from the old communication data package has been compromised).

After creating a new communication data package, the certificate from the old communication data package becomes invalid. Therefore, for the next connection of a third-party system through this connector, you must use the new communication data package.

To create a new communication data package for an unmanaged connector:

1. Log in to the web interface with the application administrator account.
2. Select the Settings section, Connectors subsection.
3. On the Connectors tab, select the unmanageable connector for which you want to create a new communication data package.

   The details area is displayed in the right part of the web interface window.

4. Click Get new communication data package.

   This opens the Generating a new communication data package window.

5. Specify the settings for creating the communication data package:
   • The name of the user that the third-party system will use to connect to the application through the connector. You must specify the name of one of the application users.

     We recommended specifying a user name that was specified when adding the connector. If you need to specify a different user name, we recommended selecting an application user that is not used by other connectors and is not used for connecting to the Central Node through the web interface.

   • Address of the node on which the software modules of the connector are running.
   • Password of the connector certificate. The specified password is used to encrypt the certificate in the communication data package of the connector.
6. Click Create communication data package.

The server generates a new communication data package for the selected connector, after which your browser saves the downloaded file. Depending on your browser's settings, a window may be displayed on your screen in which you can specify the path and name of the downloaded file. Upload the contents of the downloaded communication data package to the application that is using the connector. Otherwise, that application will be unable to establish a new connection through that connector.
