Name of the MFT Connection.

Provide a description for the MFT Connection.

This is the URL of the server that receives the messages. The URL syntax must be a valid server and location where [hostname] can be an IP Address or a Domain name and [portnumber] is the port on which the AS2 Server listens.

The AS2 From ID is the name or ID used by the sender (most commonly you are the sender). The ID is arbitrary, but if the receiving server filters by this ID, the ID's must match. The AS2 From ID is case sensitive, can be 1 to 128 ASCII printable characters in length, and may not contain whitespaces.

The AS2 To ID is the name or ID used by the recipient. The ID is arbitrary. The AS2 To ID is case sensitive, can be 1 to 128 ASCII printable characters in length, and may not contain whitespaces.

Encrypting the message itself during transmission within the encrypted tunnel is optional, but highly recommended. The default value if left blank is No.

The Encryption Algorithm is the algorithm used to encrypt the message. The default encryption algorithm is AES128.

The Encryption Certificate Alias is the certificate alias to use in the Default Trusted Certificate Key store.

Signing the message with a digital signature to further identify yourself is optional, but highly recommended.

The signature algorithm used to sign the messages can be SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, or MD5. The default is SHA1.

This is the private key alias used to sign the message. The private key is located in the Default Private Key store.

Messages can be compressed to reduce bandwidth using the zlib format. The default is No.

The Receipt Certificate Alias is optional when the receipt signature contains an embedded certificate. In this scenario, Managed File Transfer will ensure that the embedded certificate is also located in the Default Trusted Certificate Key Store. To enhance security, a Receipt Certificate Alias can be specified which verifies the certificate that signed the receipt is a specific certificate in the key store.

Define the encoding of a receipt. This is useful when the receipt does not include the transfer encoding.

The user name (login name) to use for connecting to the AS2 server. This is only required if the AS2 server needs the AS2 client to authenticate using either the BASIC or DIGEST authentication schemes.

The password to use for connecting to the AS2 server. This is only required if the AS2 server needs the AS2 client to authenticate using either the BASIC or DIGEST authentication schemes. After entering the password, you can optionally click the Encrypt button, which will encrypt the password when it is stored in Managed File Transfer's database.Note: If you do not wish to store the password for the AS2 server resource, the password can be supplied when executing a Project.

Indicates whether or not the password is encrypted. You should choose Yes if you clicked the Encrypt button for the Password.

The maximum amount of time, in seconds, to wait when trying to establish a connection to the AS2 server. A timeout value of 0 (zero) is interpreted as an infinite wait time. If the field is left blank, the default value is 60 seconds.

The maximum amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a (read) response from the AS2 server. A timeout value of 0 (zero) is interpreted as an infinite wait time. If the field is left blank, then the default value is 0 (zero).

The number of times the AS2 Resource will attempt to connect if a connection cannot be established on the first attempt.

The number of seconds to wait between each connection retry attempt. If left blank, the retry interval is 0 (zero) seconds.

Specify whether or not to follow redirects. The default value is yes.

Specify whether or not to enable cookies. The default value is yes.

The user agent is the value used in the message header to indicate what application created or sent the message. The default value is Managed File Transfer/${currentProductVersion}.

Indicates if the length of the request will be pre-calculated or sent in chunks. Pre-calculating the content length may slow performance when sending large files, but not all AS2 servers support chunked encoding. The default setting is No.

A particular key within the default key store can be used for client authentication by indicating the key alias. The specified key will be used when required by the AS2 server.

Specify the protocol to use when creating the SSLContext. The value you need to specify here depends on the security providers you have installed in the JRE (Java Runtime Environment). In most cases, the default value (SSL) should just work fine. However, on some IBM JRE implementations the default value would not work if the server you are connecting to does not support SSLv3.

Managed File Transfer supports SOCKS (version 4 and 5), HTTP tunneling through an HTTP proxy and Managed File Transfer Gateway. Check with the network administrator for the correct proxy type.

The host name (or IP address) of the proxy server on your network.

The host name or IP address of an alternate proxy server. The alternate proxy server is used when the primary proxy server is unavailable.

The port number to use for connecting to the proxy server. If left blank, the default port for an HTTP connection is 80 and SOCKS is 1080.

The user name to use to connect to the proxy server.

The password to use to connect to the proxy server.
