   Valid Email Address List | This email address list can be a list of email addresses for this participant, separated by a semicolon or by a comma. For an outbound document sent to the trading partner through SMTP transport, the first email address is used in the From header. For incoming email from the mail server, the To email address from the email is matched to one of the email addresses in this list. This only applies when using AS1, AS2, or Email transport.
   Allow override of fileName via HTTP parameter | This option only applies to the HTTP and HTTPS transports for the TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition -Services Plug-in. This option does not apply to the AS2 and AS1 Email transports. For more information, see TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition -Services Plug-in, User Guide.

4. To add the transport for the partner, click partner name > protocol link > Transport > Add Outbound Transport or transport link respectively and configure the options listed in the following table:

   Server Certificate (HTTPS only) | The participant’s certificate used to encrypt communication.Note: You must configure the credentials in advance, before creating this transport.
   Use HTTP Basic Authentication | Enable basic authentication at the trading partner. The username and password supplied in those fields are provided when accessing the trading partner. The trading partner services requests only if it can validate the supplied username and password. Note that the password is passed in plain text across the network.
   Username | Specify a username for authenticating the host on the partner HTTP/S service.
   Password | Specify a password for authenticating the host on the partner HTTP/S service.
   Retry Count | The maximum number of times BusinessConnect Container Edition attempts to reconnect to the remote HTTP server, in case of failures.
   Retry Interval | The interval BusinessConnect Container Edition waits before another reconnect is attempted.
   Socket Timeout (seconds) | The amount of time a socket blocks on a read operation. Note: If you want to receive the timeout error when no response is received from your partner, the value in this field must be less than the value set in the Response Wait Time field in the Configuration tab of the SendRequest activity.
   Cipher Suite Grade (HTTPS only) | Select the cipher grade (strength) from the list. The following options are available: All Only Stronger Than Export Only 128 Bit and Stronger Only stronger than 128 Bit Only 256 Bit and Stronger All ciphers are listed in TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition Security Guidelines, Cipher Suites.
   Can Use TLS (HTTPS only) | TLS protocol is supported. If you select this checkbox, TLS protocol is used to establish a connection to the trading partner server.
   TLS Version (HTTPS only) | Select the version of the TLS protocol. TLS protocol versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are supported. Note: If you select TLS version 1.1 or 1.2, you have to select SUN or IBM as the security vendor for inbound and outbound socket operations.
   Can Use SSLv3 (HTTPS only) | SSL protocol version 3.0 is supported. If you select this checkbox, SSL protocol version 3.0 is used to establish a connection to the trading partner server.

   GISB/NAESB Package | Select this checkbox to package outbound messages in the NAESB Internet ET format. By default, this checkbox is cleared.
   GISB/NAESB Version | Specify the GISB/NAESB version. The default value is 2.0.
   Receipt Signature Required (X12 Protocol only) | Select this checkbox to support the receipt signature. When you select this checkbox, the outbound NAESB message contains a "receipt-security-selection" data element that instructs the responder to sign the receipt (including the synchronous receipt and asynchronous error notification) that is sent back. By default, this checkbox is cleared.
   PGP Encrypt (X12 Protocol only) | Select this checkbox to enable PGP encryption. By default, this checkbox is selected. PGP encryption in ASCII Armor format is mandatory for requests. This setting takes effect only for a regular outbound request and not for an outbound Error Notification, which is never encrypted according to the NAESB standard.
   PGP Sign (X12 Protocol only) | Select this checkbox to support PGP signature. This is optional. By default, this checkbox is cleared. This setting takes effect only for a regular outbound request and not for an outbound Error Notification. The "receipt-security-selection" data element in the original inbound NAESB message defines whether an error notification is signed. Note that other PGP features, such as Compression and Compression Algorithm, are not configured since NAESB messages are not compressed.
