VERIFY_PEER - UPPS configuration option
Description
The VERIFY_PEER option specifies whether or not the authenticity of the PeopleSoft server's X.509 certificate is verified.
In order to verify the authenticity of the server's certificate, the CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option must point to a valid list of certificate authority certificates.
If verification fails, the session is rejected and UPPS terminates.

Values
option is the specification for whether or not the authenticity of the PeopleSoft server's X.509 certificate is verified.
Valid values for option are:
- yes
Verify the server's certificate. - no
Do not verify the server's certificate.
Default is no.
(The default was previously yes but it was changed in 7.4.0.0 as tasks launched from the controller would always set verify_peer to no even when it was specified as yes, so in order to preserve previous functionality and not interfere with previously created tasks as much, the default was changed to no and setting the verify_peer option to yes now works as intended.)
Command Usage
The VERIFY_PEER option is an SSL/TLS option.
SSL/TLS options are associated with program execution, not commands. They are used to configure the environment and behavior of HTTPS connections with the PeopleSoft system. They can be used with any command, but they only impact HTTPS connections.
