Inbound AS2 component

The Inbound AS2 component provides a secure endpoint for receiving AS2 messages. AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a protocol used to securely exchange business messages (like invoices, orders, or reports) over the internet.

Configuration​

The Inbound AS2 component has the following configuration options:

Endpoint​

A name to identify this component's endpoint (URL). By default, the option 'Set flow name as endpoint' is enabled. Disabling this option reveals a textbox where you can define the endpoint name manually.

The final URL to connect to the AS2 component is displayed at the bottom of the configuration screen (Test and Production).

note
  • It can only contain letters, numbers and these special characters: @ . _ + ~ ?.
  • It must be between 3 and 50 characters long.
  • It has to be unique within a tenant.

Tenant part​

Specify whether the tenant name or ID is included in the URL.

From​

AS2 name of the sender. This sets the value of the AS2From header of the AS2 message.

To​

AS2 name of the recipient. This sets the value of the AS2To header of the AS2 message.

Message structure​

The security and compression operations applied to the outgoing AS2 message. You must select one of the following operations:

  • SIGNED
  • ENCRYPTED
  • SIGNED_ENCRYPTED
  • COMPRESSED_SIGNED
  • SIGNED_COMPRESSED
  • ENCRYPTED_COMPRESSED
  • ENCRYPTED_COMPRESSED_SIGNED (default)
  • ENCRYPTED_SIGNED_COMPRESSED

Recommended is to use at least SIGNED_ENCRYPTED. Note that in the case of COMPRESSED_SIGNED, the message is first compressed and then signed. And for SIGNED_COMPRESSED the message is first signed and then compressed.

P12 File​

A file containing the private key and public certificate required to decrypt the incoming AS2 message

The P12 format is formally defined by the PKCS #12 (Public-Key Cryptography Standards #12) specification. It is also often referred to by the file extension .pfx (Personal Information Exchange).

Alias​

The certificate alias (or friendly name) associated with your private key within the P12 file.

Password​
