1. Check your environment for OpenSSL and install additional software (required to create a request for SSL certificate):

Panel
titleFor Windows/Solaris

Download the last binary version of OpenSSL at https://www.openssl.org/community/binaries.html and install software


Code Block
titleFor GNU/Linux
sudo apt install openssl


Panel
titleFor MacOS

No action is required — already included in OS


2. Use command line (as administrator) to create private key:

Panel


Code Block
openssl genrsa -out ${clientkey}.pem 2048

You have to replace ${clientkey} into understandable name using your local naming policies

3. Create request for SSL certificate:

Panel


Code Block
openssl req -new -key ${clientkey}.pem -out ${clientcsr}.pem

Replace ${clientcsr} to the name used on previous step

You have to replace ${clientkey} and ${clientcsr} into understandable name using your local naming policies

4. Fill in the details of the request for SSL certificate:

Panel

Mandatory:

  • Country Name (2 letter code)
  • State or Province Name
  • Locality Name (eg, city)
  • Organization Name (eg, company)
  • Organizational Unit Name (eg, section)
  • Common Name (your name or server's hostname)

No need to specify:

  • A challenge password
  • An optional company name

5. Create a new task with the request of SSL certificate (request_csr) by JIRA

Panel

Attach to the task created request for SSL certificate (request_csr)
Check “Bin” (OpenSSL) folder for those files.

6. Receive credentials for test environment from our technical support:

Panel
  • a SSL certificate (*.crt file)
  • personal credentials for basic authentication (login and password)
  • test access parameters for requests (XML block Party)
  • test Client ID and Agent ID for testing shopping with 3D agreement

7. Import SSL certificate and create key store file:

Panel


Code Block
openssl pkcs12 -export -in ${clientcert}.pem -inkey ${clientkey}.pem -out ${client}.p12 -name "${name}"

Export Password – password for key store file which will be requested while importing into test software


Responsibility of Integrator

Panel
titleFor Google Chrome

Settings → Advanced Settings → HTTPS/SSL → Import → Choose created key store file (*.p12) on previous step

2. For a better experience, we prefer to use SoapUI for testing:

Panel

Download the last binary version of SoapUI at https://www.soapui.org/downloads/soapui.html and install software

3. Open SoapUI and create a new SOAP project

Panel
  1. SoapUI → File → Preferences → New SOAP project

  3. Copy relevant WSDL URL
  4. Past in form, fill a project name and press OK

4. Assign created key store file to the project

Panel
  1. Project → Show project view → WS-Security Configurations → Keystores;
  2. Click on "+" (Adds a new Keystore to this configuration)
  3. Set a path to p12-file and input the password

(warning) Do not use global settings (SoapUI → File → Preferences → SSL Setting) to save ability of using both environments without any additional setting changes

5. Create new request and set basic authentication

Panel
  1. Open tab "Auth" under request textarea
  2. Select "Authorization" = "Basic"
  3. Input Username and Password (your received them from our technical support on previous step)

You have to set it for all your requests

6. Set assigned keystore

Panel
  1. Go to tab "TestRequest Properties" under the projects tree
  2. Select imported p12-file in "SSL Keystore" parameter

You have to set it for all your requests

7. Set the endpoint of test environment at the top of request window

8. Fill in the request textarea by an example described below and send it!

Excerpt Include
OW + 1xADT + Transit + CodeShare | v0.35 | searchFlights operation

1. Choose one of available versions at test environment at the top of the page

2. Use header's parameters for selected version (If the parameter is not defined, the oldest version will be used by default):

3. Read the API's documentation

4. Try to execute the user story with the simplest flow and then other scenarios that you are interested in

Panel
  • We are using actual schedule for flights but you may feel free to create bookings and issue tickets (please, note that some minor discrepancies between test and production results are still exist)
  • No time limits for testing

5. Give us a feedback through your manager or our technical support by JIRA

6. Ready to production environment?

6.1. Check available scenarios and choose which you're going to use at production environment

6.2. Notify our technical support by JIRA for final testing under the supervision of our technologists

Panel

(warning) Keep all conversation with our technical support and technologists only in comments at the issue
(warning) If you faced any problems, create a new issue in JIRA and link with the issue for final testing

6.5. Once all tests will be passed you can proceed to signing of the contract of EDS

Responsibility of Integrator

Because Agent is going to use an Integrator's solution, we immediately proceed to signing of the contract of EDS and skip final testing under the supervision of our technologists to grant access to production environment

Responsibility of Agent

Agent will notify you once all the documents have been completed and he will be granted access to the production environment 


1. Contact with your account manager to sign a contract

2. Create a new validator (without transactions history) for our GDS to have ability to execute all basic shopping scenarios
