Installing the Certificate
An OpenEdge keystore certificate is required to support the secured connection between the connector and the AvaTax service. Avalara provides Development and Production environment support and each has a separate URL for the corresponding environments.
Most installations use the Production URL; the Development URL is also included for reference.
https://development.avalara.net/tax/taxsvc.wsdl
https://avatax.avalara.net/tax/taxsvc.wsdl
Remember that you can configure a “Company” within AvaTax Production Environments specifically for testing before live use of the service. The Development Environment is only used for unusual cases involving major development or customization. It is important to use the URL that corresponds to the Avalara account type.
To install the certificate, use the following steps:
1 Using the appropriate URL, open the WSDL file with a browser.
2 Go to properties for the WSDL, and navigate to Certificate Information.
3 Use the browse option to save the certificate to a .CER file with the Base-64 encoded x.509 format. You can also use a .CRT file.
4 Copy this file to the server where OpenEdge and the connector are installed.
5 Use the following command to install the certificate into the OpenEdge environment:
$DLC/bin/certutil -import <Certificate File Name>
6 A message appears indicating that the certificate was successfully installed.
