AS2 server configuration properties

AS2 server configuration properties

For each runtime environment that uses the File Integration Service, you can configure an AS2 server to receive files from remote AS2 servers.
You configure AS2 server properties on the
AS2 Server
 tab of the
File Server for agent
 page.
Configure the following types of properties:
  • General
  • SSL
  • Listeners
  • Message security
  • MDN (Message Disposition Notifications)
  • Upload restrictions

General properties

The following table describes general AS2 server properties:
Property
Description
Enable AS2 Server
Whether to enable the AS2 server.
When not enabled, the AS2 server cannot receive files.
Default is disabled.
AS2 Server Id
Name or ID used by the sender. Note the following rules for the ID:
  • The value is case sensitive.
  • The ID can contain up to 128 ASCII characters, special characters, and spaces.
Port
Port number for the AS2 server.
Default is 15400.
Local Address
