Encrypt Messages

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

Encryption Algorithm

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

Encryption Certificate Alias

The Encryption Certificate Alias is the certificate alias to use in the Default Trusted Certificate Key store. If you do not know the alias name for the certificate, click the icon to select the certificate.

Sign Messages

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

Signature Algorithm

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

Signature Certificate Alias

This is the private key alias used to sign the message. The private key is located in the Default Private Key store. If you do not know the alias name for the private key, click the icon to select the private key.

Compress Messages

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

Receipt Certificate Alias

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.

If the receipt signature does not contain an embedded certificate, then the Receipt Certificate Alias must be specified in order to verify and trust the signature. Typically, the same certificate that is used to encrypt the outbound message can be used to verify the receipt signature. If you do not know the alias name for the certificate, click the icon to select the certificate.

Receipt Transfer Encoding

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