When an inbound or outbound message arrives but the protocol cannot be determined, the message is written to the audit log under the special protocol name LostandFound, which is a substitute name for an unidentified protocol.There are different algorithms that can be used for compression of MIME messages. The Drummond Group AS2 interoperability test specification calls for a particular specification (draft-ietf-ediint-compression-12) to be followed when doing compression.AS2 Transport supports single and multiple attachments in messages when used with TIBCO BusinessConnect Services Plug-in (EZComm protocol). See TIBCO BusinessConnect Services Plug-in User’s Guide for more information.For AS2 messages, there is a draft specification (http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-harding-ediint-filename-preservation-03.txt) that has been written to address this problem. The filename preservation draft specification requires that systems which conform to the specification provide the ability to specify the filename for storing the message content in the filename parameter of the Content Disposition header. For inbound messages, the ability to pass the filename from the Content Disposition header to the back-end systems must be provided.
• Authentication Supported through digital signatures.
• Security Supported through message encryption.
• Non-repudiation Supported through digital signatures and message receipts.
• Filename Preservation Supported through the use of the filename parameter in the Content Disposition header as specified in the draft-ietf-ediint-filename-preservation-02 specification.
• Compression Supported through the compression option as specified in the draft-ietf-ediint-compression-12 specification.
To override the default use of SHA-1 for the hash algorithm by the AS2 transport, you can set the TIBCO BusinessConnect property bc.ediint.digestAlgorithmEnabled as follows:
• If bc.ediint.digestAlgorithmEnabled is set to true, the AS2 transport will use the digest algorithm that is specified in the business agreement Document Security settings.
• If bc.ediint.digestAlgorithmEnabled is false (the default), the AS2 transport will ignore the digest algorithm setting in the business agreement and use SHA-1.Use of the MD5 hash algorithm with AS2 should not be required. Drummond Group certified AS2 products all use SHA-1 for the hash algorithm during interoperability testing. However, the AS2 specification also states that AS2 products should be able to accept messages which use the SHA-1 hash algorithm. TIBCO BusinessConnect will process inbound messages using either hash algorithm.In order for BusinessConnect to enforce the renegotiation of the peer's credentials, the Disable Session Cache check box can be selected for any individual outgoing transport. When selected, each time when TIBCO BusinessConnect has business data to be delivered to the corresponding trading partner, the peer's credentials are requested and reverified.
