1.8.5. AS2 Gateway

See: Managing Channels - Manage a Channel

With an AS2 Gateway, outgoing messages are transmitted using an AS2 connection.

AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a specification about how to transport data securely and reliably over the Internet. Security is achieved by using digital certificates and encryption.

To create AS2 gateway, select an existing template or make a copy of the generic AS2 template in the catalogue and following screen will be displayed.

Figure 1.91. AS2 gateway configuration

The following fields should be defined in order to configure your AS2 access:

From	Babelway source server.
To	Server address that receives outgoing messages.
Subject	AS2 message subject
Recipient Address	The endpoint URL of the receiving message gateway ,requires protocol prefix in URL (http:// or https://).
Request Receipt	Should a receipt be sent when a request is received or not.
Receipt Return URL	URL address where to send receipt.
Signed Receipt	Should receipt be signed or not.
Signing Algorithm	Select algorithm used for signing receipt, if any.
Asynchronous Receipt	Should receipt be sent asynchronously or not.
Message Compression Required	Should send message be compressed or not?
Message Signing Required	Should send message be signed or not?
Message Encryption Required	Should send message be encrypted or not?
Encryption Algorithm	Select algorithm used for encrypting message, if any.
Message Signature Enforced	Should message signature be enforced or not?
MIC Algorithm	Select MIC algorithm, if any.
Message Encryption Enforced	Should message encryption be enforced or not?
Maximum Retries	Maximum number of retries if message sending failed?
Retry Interval	Interval of time before trying to send message again (in seconds)?
Certification For Encryption	Certificate used for message encryption?
Certification For Verification	Certificate used for message verification?
AS2 documentation	File containing your AS2 parameters. It should be completed as detailled hereafter before being sent to your AS2 partner for configuration of his system side.

After channel deployment, your AS2 connection will be available to receive messages.

Advanced Properties

type	"edi", for the content type "application/EDIFACT". "x12", for the content type "application/EDI-X12". "eco", for the content type "application/edi-consent". "xml", for the content type "application/XML". "bin", for the content type "application/ octet-stream".

Report AS2 parameters to the other party

Click on GenericAS2Specifications.doc command to download a Word file including all parameters values required to establish AS2 communication. In this file, you should change Identity field to match the To field value (see above) as automatically attributed by Babelway interface, this value follows " BABELWAY_AS2_xxxxx " form.

Once this parameter has been changed to match your settings, you can send the file to the other party to give him all parameters he will require to establish a communication with your channel.

À quoi servent les paramètres non (encore) documentés ?
Y a-t-il un polling ?
Le "Retry Interval" est-il bien exprimé en secondes (à ajouter dans l'interface?) ? Si oui, y a-t-il un maximum et/ou un minimum ?
