Mirth: calling an SSL SOAP web service with a client certificate


The scenario is around calling an external SSL SOAP web service from within Mirth. The web service is requires an SSL/TLS connection along with a client certificate.

The intention is to use the built-in SOAP Sender Destination to call the remote secure web service, and somehow include that client certificate.

I understand that you first need to install that client certificate into the Java runtime. This may be within the Java runtime's certificate store or the Jetty certstore.

The platform:

  • Windows 2003 SP2
  • Mirth 1.8
  • Java jre1.5.0_09

Question: what configuration steps (Mirth, JRE certificate stores, etc.) would you suggest to successfully have a Mirth SOAP Sender include a client certificate (*.cer) when calling a web service secured by SSL?


Solution

  • Mirth 1.8 cannot send a client cert when calling a SOAP web service.
