Troubleshooting Transport Problems

This topic offers advice on resolving transport problems.

Error message when From and To identifiers are the same

Error while retrieving protocol binding for partner Company2 and host Company1.

The From and To identifiers for the participants are probably the same; for example, the To and From fields might both identify the partner instead of identifying the host and the partner.

Issues with encryption and decryption of S/MIME messages
Keys and certificates are set properly for the host and the partner at the business agreement level. For more information see Business Agreement: Document Exchange Tab in protocol-specific documentation.
