Using Direct Communication Channel

When you are integrating Digital StoreFront with Pace, you must complete the steps described below to
establish a direct communication channel. The steps are the same whether Digital StoreFront is self-
hosted or SaaS (hosted by EFI), but if you are self-hosting, you must also edit the registry to grant full
control to some certificate entries.

To establish a direct communication channel

1.

If you are self-hosting Digital StoreFront,

edit the registry

.

2.

Log in as an administrator, click the Administration tab, and go to MIS CONFIGURATION > Manage
Communication Channels
.

3.

When the Manage Communication Channels page first opens, the Site Call Back URL is displayed.

This URL is used for communication between Digital StoreFront and an MIS.

Verify that the site call

back URL is correct

.

4.

Click Add New Channel.

5

In the Type field, select Direct Channel.

6

Enter a Name and optional Description for the channel.

7.

Unless you plan to use an external certificate, leave Site Default Certificate selected.

8.

If you plan to use an external SSL certificate, complete these steps:

Use Microsoft Management Console (Start > RUN > MMC) to install the external SSL certificate
into the Trusted Certificates section (by copying and pasting the certificate).

On the Manage Communication Channels page in Digital StoreFront, select External Certificate
and enter the Certificate Name.

Select the Use SSL check box.

If you establish a communication channel based on the Site Default Certificate, but then

realize you need to use an external certificate, you must

change the site certificate to an external

SSL certificate

.

In the Configuration url field, enter the location of the web service (Pace machine) in the format
http://name/rpc/services/EFIConfiguration where name is the domain name of the Pace machine.

A domain name (instead of an IP address) is strongly recommended because, unlike an IP

address, a domain name does not change and will get resolved (using DNS) to a new IP if the IP
changes.
