Receiving AS2 messages |
Top Previous Next |
In order to receive AS2 messages you MUST first enable the AS2 service both in Settings > Web > AS2 (See Enabling AS2) and in the Services module (See Adding services). Additionally you MUST create an AS2 trading partner with a To ID value that is equal to the incoming As2From header for the incoming AS2 message. See Adding trading partners and Managing AS2 trading partners. This ensures that the trading partner is a known and trusted connection. When receiving an AS2 message JSCAPE MFT Server will iterate through available AS2 trading partners to identify a match. If no matching trading partner is found then the AS2 message will be rejected.
Lastly, you must provide connection parameters for JSCAPE MFT Server to your trading partners. A guide to these parameters has been provided below.
Connection Parameters

http[s]://hostname[:port]/as2/incoming/
where hostname is the hostname or IP address and port is the port as set in Settings > Web panel of JSCAPE MFT Server Manager.

Username

where username is the user Login and domain is the JSCAPE MFT Server domain to which the user belongs. In the event that you are using the Bind unauthenticated transfers to user option in the Settings > Web > AS2 panel then your trading partner may connect without supplying any credentials.
e.g.

Processing AS2 messages
As AS2 messages are received they will be processed according to the settings in the Settings > Web > AS2 panel. AS2 message data will be stored in the Upload directory (See Settings > Web > AS2) relative to users root directory. A history of all AS2 messages can be seen in the AS2 Messages module for your domain.
