Environment: IIB 10.0.0.9 on Windows 2012 Server

Can someone provide clarity on this issue:
Is it possible to have two flows within the same EG, such that FlowA connects to an https server and requires one-way
authentication, and FlowB connects to a different https server and requires two-way authentication?

In my EG-level keystore, I have 1 Personal Certificate, let's call it Cert1. I use this cert in FlowB to present to the https server that required two-way authentcation.
If I try to run FlowA from the same EG I get the following result:

Code:

Am I correct in interpreting this to mean that FlowA is trying to user the same cert (Cert1) for one-way authentication? Is it possible to specify
a "dummy" SSL client authentication key alias so that FlowA doesn't try to use Cert1?

You can set the client key authentication alias (aka the keystore personal certificate label name) in the node properties.

Thanks for the reply.

What I am still unclear about is how to avoid a clash between the requirements of FlowA and FlowB in terms of certs when calling different https servers.

To elaborate: If I deploy these two flows to separate EGs, all is fine. If I deploy them to the same EG, I get the error mentioned in my initial post.
