AS1 Transport, hereafter referred to as AS1 Email transport, allows you to exchange documents over the Internet using S/MIME and email. It only specifies how to connect to a trading partner, deliver data, and get a receipt in a secure manner.
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.If a trading partner can send email messages according to the IETF AS1 standard (rfc3335.txt) and the trading partner’s AS1 product has passed interoperability testing with the Drummond Group, compression is available for large email messages. There are different algorithms that can be used for compression of MIME messages. The Drummond Group AS1 interoperability test specification calls for a particular specification (draft-ietf-ediint-compression-12) to be followed when doing compression.
• Authentication Supported through digital signatures.
• Security Supported through message encryption.
• Non-repudiation Supported through digital signatures and email receipts.
• 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 AS1 transport, you can set the TIBCO BusinessConnect property bc.ediint.digestAlgorithmEnabled as follows:
• If bc.ediint.digestAlgorithmEnabled is set to true, the AS1 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 AS1 transport will ignore the digest algorithm setting in the business agreement and use SHA-1.Use of the MD5 hash algorithm with AS1 should not be required.Drummond Group certified AS1 products all use SHA-1 for the hash algorithm during interoperability testing. However, the AS1 specification also states that AS1 products should be able to accept messages which use the SHA-1 hash algorithm. TIBCO BusinessConnect will process inbound messages using either hash algorithm.
The AS1 Email transport uses standard To and From email addresses as defined in SMTP standard (RFC 2821). These email addresses are defined in the Valid Email Address List field in the BusinessConnect > Participants > Participant_Name > Protocols > Protocol_Name > General tab. When email is received from the mail server:
• The To address is matched against the email address entered in the host’s Valid Email Address List.
• The From address is matched against the trading partner’s Valid Email Address List.
