The AS2 tab allows specifying properties for receiving AS2 messages from the Web User. Additional AS2 information is located in the
AS2 Quick Start Guide.
The AS2 tab contains the following settings:
AS2 ID
The AS2 ID of the sender (Web User). The AS2 ID is case sensitive and can be 1 to 128 ASCII printable characters in length.
Signature Certificate Alias
This is the alias of the public certificate used by this Web User to sign their messages. If the certificate is signed by a certificate authority (for example, Verisign), this field can be left blank since the certificate chain already exists in the Default Trusted Certificates Key Store. If a specific certificate is to be used by the Web User for signing messages or they use a self-signed certificate, then that certificate should be imported into the Default Trusted Certificates Key Store. If you do not know the alias name for the certificate, click the
icon to select the certificate alias.
Default Upload Folder
The location where AS2 messages are saved when received (uploaded). The default location is the default home directory for the Web User, which is the [installdirectory]/userdata/webdocs/[webuser] folder, where [installdirectory] is the installation directory of Managed File Transfer and [webuser] is the account name of the Web User. If files for this Web User should be saved in a different location, use the Other... option to manually type a folder location (for example, inbound/as2).
When File Exists
The action that Managed File Transfer performs when a file with the same name already exists in the default upload folder.
Require Encryption
This option indicates whether or not messages sent by this Web User must be encrypted.
Require Signature
A signed message contains a digital signature from the sender to further authenticate the message. If signatures are required, any unsigned message sent by this Web User will be rejected.
Require Authentication
Require username/password or certificate authentication for messages uploads. If authentication is not required, Managed File Transfer will use the AS2 ID to identify the Web User. Informatica recommends you set the 'Require Signature' option to 'true' when authentication is not required.
Asynchronous MDN Approval
If a return receipt is requested by the Web User, select if the MDN will be sent automatically during the Web User's session or manually after the message is processed. The
icon on the AS2 Log page indicates a manual receipt needs to be sent for a message. A manual receipt can only be sent if a message is received successfully. If an error occurs during transmission, an asynchronous receipt is sent automatically.
