sf_eliot Third Party Web Service Calls with PEM Certificate
I are trying to make web service calls from APEX code to a third-party web service. The third-party has provided a certificate in the PEM format. A test application, written outside of Salesforce, verfies that the web services are accessable with the provided certificate. When re-coded to work inside the APEX, the HttpRequest is denied due to certificate issues.
I have discovered two mechanisms for aligning the certificate with the outgoing message.
1. Salesforce provides "Certficate and Key Management." Download an unsigned key from Salesforce, sign it, upload it. Unfortunately, I cannot sign on behalf of the third party, and if I switch the certificates and upload the signed one, Salesforce is quick to identifiy that a switch has taken place and terminates the process.
2. Hard code the certificate into the request with the deprecated call "setClientCertificate". This seems to have no effect. I speculate that it will only work with a PKCS#12 certificate. I have a PEM key.
I must be missing a step in the process, so any help would be appreciated.
Still have the same problems, but I think I understand more of the issues.
Big question right now is:
The third party certificate is signed with a "verisign class 3 - g2, version 3" certificate.
The SF's accepted ca list includes "verisign class 3 - g2,. version 1."
Will the certificate be rejected if the version codes do not match?

Hi Nick,
Did you have a solution for your problem? I am also trying to use setClientCertificate method but not sure what goes in as its parameters.
