AS2ProfileMgr Module

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The AS2ProfileMgr module is used to manage self and trading partner profiles used for AS2 communication.

Syntax

IPWorksEDI.As2profilemgr

Remarks

AS2 communication require management of several configuration settings such as encryption certificate, signing certificate and TLS/SSL certificates. Both for your self and your trading partners.

The AS2ProfileMgr class allows you to manage such settings using simple XML files, furthermore these configuration files can be directly fed to the AS2Sender and AS2Receiver Class as a convenient way to set communication parameters.

To use the AS2ProfileMgr you should first set DataDir to configure the directory that it will use to store the profiles. You can then set the properties to be retained and save them by invoking SaveProfile, alternatively you could retrieve previously saved settings using LoadProfile.

When a new trading partner profile is saved a sub-directory named after the trading partner is created within DataDir and the file partner.cfg is saved in it. If CreateDirStruct is set to true, the following sub-directories are created within the partner directory. These can be helpful in managing other data for the trading partner.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslCertStore: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public var sslCertStoreB: Data {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertStore,setter=setSSLCertStore:) NSString* SSLCertStore;

- (NSString*)SSLCertStore;
- (void)setSSLCertStore :(NSString*)newSSLCertStore;

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertStoreB,setter=setSSLCertStoreB:) NSData* SSLCertStoreB;

- (NSData*)SSLCertStoreB;
- (void)setSSLCertStoreB :(NSData*)newSSLCertStore;

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The SSLCertStoreType property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by SSLCertStore. If the store is password protected, specify the password in SSLCertStorePassword.

SSLCertStore is used in conjunction with the SSLCertSubject property to specify client certificates. If SSLCertStore has a value, and SSLCertSubject or SSLCertEncoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the SSLCertSubject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

SSLCertStorePassword Property (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslCertStorePassword: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertStorePassword,setter=setSSLCertStorePassword:) NSString* SSLCertStorePassword;

- (NSString*)SSLCertStorePassword;
- (void)setSSLCertStorePassword :(NSString*)newSSLCertStorePassword;

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

SSLCertStoreType Property (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslCertStoreType: As2profilemgrSSLCertStoreTypes {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum As2profilemgrSSLCertStoreTypes: Int32 {
  case cstUser = 0

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertStoreType,setter=setSSLCertStoreType:) int SSLCertStoreType;

- (int)SSLCertStoreType;
- (void)setSSLCertStoreType :(int)newSSLCertStoreType;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

SSLCertSubject Property (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslCertSubject: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertSubject,setter=setSSLCertSubject:) NSString* SSLCertSubject;

- (NSString*)SSLCertSubject;
- (void)setSSLCertSubject :(NSString*)newSSLCertSubject;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLCertSubject(sslCertSubject: String) throws

URL Property (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

The URL for posting EDI data.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var url: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=URL,setter=setURL:) NSString* URL;

- (NSString*)URL;
- (void)setURL :(NSString*)newURL;

Default Value

""

Remarks

URL is the URL provided by your trading partner for posting EDI Data. Please refer to the URL property in AS2Sender for details.

In the case of "self" profile i.e. when the parameter partnerIdentifier is "self" in LoadProfile or SaveProfile, URL refers to the URL that your trading partners use to post data to you.

After invoking LoadProfile, the URL will contain the URL of your trading partner, alternatively URL may be set and saved by invoking SaveProfile.

Config Method (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DeleteProfile Method (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

Deletes the configuration of the specified partner.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func deleteProfile(partnerOrganization: String) throws -> Void

- (void)deleteProfile:(NSString*)partnerOrganization;

Remarks

The profile of the partner identified by partnerIdentifier is deleted. This method also deletes the directory in which the partner profile is stored, consequently deleting file management directories of the partner.

If the partnerOrganization specified is "self", the self profile i.e. me.cfg, is cleared.

GetProperty Method (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

Gets the property propName .

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func getProperty(propName: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)getProperty:(NSString*)propName;

Remarks

GetProperty can be used to query any property from "self" or partner profile. It is specially useful in retrieving properties not interpreted by AS2Sender AS2Receiver classs and thus not exposed as AS2ProfileMgr properties.

GetProperty returns null if property propName was not read by LoadProfile.

GetTPInfo Method (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

Gets the profile of the specified partner as a XML TPInfo.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func getTPInfo(partnerOrganization: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)getTPInfo:(NSString*)partnerOrganization;

Remarks

If the parameter partnerOrganization is "self", GetTPInfo returns a XML string representing the "self" profile otherwise it returns a XML string of partner profile. These strings can be directly fed to AS2Sender and AS2Receiver using the method SetTPInfo.

ListPartners Method (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

Lists trading partners known to the AS2ProfileMgr .

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func listPartners() throws -> Void

- (void)listPartners;

Remarks

Invoking ListPartners causes the event Partner to be fired for each trading partner profile found by the AS2ProfileMgr class.

After this method returns PartnerCount is populated with the number of found partners.

ListProperties Method (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

Lists the properties read from self or partner profile.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func listProperties() throws -> Void

- (void)listProperties;

Remarks

Invoking ListProperties causes the event Property to be fired for each property read by LoadProfile.

LoadProfile Method (AS2ProfileMgr Module)

Loads the profile of the trading partner identified by partnerOrganization .

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func loadProfile(partnerOrganization: String) throws -> Void

- (void)loadProfile:(NSString*)partnerOrganization;

Remarks

If the partnerOrganization is not "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are read from the XML file partner.cfg. The file is expected to be in a sub-directory within DataDir. The name of the sub-directory is derived from partnerOrganization.

Although all properties are read from the partner profile, the following are interpreted by AS2Sender and AS2Receiver classs.

Partner Settings

• Organization
• URL
• OptionSign
• OptionEncrypt
• OptionCompress
• RequireSign
• RequireEncrypt
• RequestMDN
• RequestMDNSigned
• RequestMDNSynchronous
• EncryptionCert
• SigningCert
• SSLCert

If the partnerOrganization specified is "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are read from the XML file me.cfg. The file is expected to be in DataDir.

Although all properties are read from the self profile, the following are interpreted by AS2Sender and AS2Receiver classs.

My Settings

• Organization
• URL
• Email
• EncryptionCert

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func saveProfile(partnerOrganization: String) throws -> Void

- (void)saveProfile:(NSString*)partnerOrganization;

Remarks

If the partnerOrganization is not "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are saved to the XML file partner.cfg placed in a sub-directory within DataDir. The name of the sub-directory is derived from partnerOrganization. In addition to saving the partner profile, SaveProfile also creates the following directories if CreateDirStruct is set to true.

Although any number of properties may be saved to the partner profile, the following are interpreted by AS2Sender and AS2Receiver classes.

Partner Settings

• Organization
• URL
• OptionSign
• OptionEncrypt
• OptionCompress
• RequireSign
• RequireEncrypt
• RequestMDN
• RequestMDNSigned
• RequestMDNSynchronous
• EncryptionCert
• SigningCert
• SSLCert

If the partnerOrganization specified is "self", the properties of AS2ProfileMgr are saved to the XML file me.cfg placed in DataDir.
