Cipher requires the following three custom profile options to be created in EBS for the integration to work with Cipher APIs.
- Cipher: API Key
- Cipher API keys are generated from the Cipher Application Profiles page. Without an API key EBS will be unable to use Cipher APIs.
- Cipher: Instance Name
- Cipher is capable of hosting multiple instances that can work with multiple environments. This is set to the Cipher instance name you want this particular EBS environment to communicate with.
- Cipher: Web Service URL
- This is set to the Cipher application web URL that hosts the API key and the Cipher instance name set in the other profile options.
These profile options can be created using either the EBS System Administrator or Application Developer responsibilities.
- System Administrator -> Define Profile Options
- Application Developer -> Profile
