The AS2Receiver component is used to process EDI messages and generate receipts.

Syntax

TibeAS2Receiver

Remarks

The AS2Receiver implements server-side processing of EDI messages, as specified in [AS2] and RFC 3335. It can be used to decrypt and verify incoming messages and to generate receipts including Message Disposition Notifications (MDNs). The component is designed to be easily incorporated into an HTTP server, and features custom functionality for server environments such as ASP.NET.

BASIC OPERATION

When an AS2 request comes in, you should first invoke ReadRequest. This will populate AS2From and AS2To, and based on this information, you may then set the appropriate certificates. You may specify your certificate with the Certificate property, and your trading partner's (signing) certificate with the SignerCert property.

Then, invoke ProcessRequest to process the request and generate the MDN receipt as specified in [AS2] and RFC 3335. If the request was processed successfully, EDIData will contain the transmitted EDI data. If a problem occurred, EDIData will not be populated and an exception will be thrown. In either case MDNReceipt will contain the RFC-compliant receipt, which should be returned to the client.

The MDNReceipt may be returned by invoking SendResponse. The receipt will be returned either synchronously in the HTTP reply, or asynchronously over a separate HTTP, HTTPS, or SMTP connection, as requested by the client.

To create log files, set LogDirectory prior to invoking ProcessRequest. This will log all incoming and outgoing data.

The following example illustrates how to use the component from an ASP.NET page. Note that in Java it will be necessary to provide an HTTPServletRequest as an argument to ReadRequest before processing the request.

EXAMPLE AS2Receiver1.ReadRequest(); // At this point, you should check the values of AS2From and AS2To. AS2Receiver1.Certificate = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPFXFile, "c:\\my_server_directory\\my_pfx_file.pfx", "my password", "CN=Me"); AS2Receiver1.SignerCert = new Certificate("c:\\my_server_directory\\my_partner_cer_file.cer"); AS2Receiver1.LogDirectory = "c:\\my_server_directory\\my_log_directory"; AS2Receiver1.ProcessRequest(); AS2Receiver1.SendResponse(); Additional functionality allows the user to examine details of the client's request, to permit certain types of errors, or to customize the outgoing MDN.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY

Advanced functionality is provided to allow the user to break down the AS2 process, and to allow finer control over the operation of the server. Where ProcessRequest automates the entire process, additional methods are also provided to handle each step separately.

Parsing Incoming Data

To process an EDI message, invoke ReadRequest to process the headers from the server, or alternatively, manually set Request to the contents of the HTTP request. It may contain both headers and body, or the headers may be specified separately in RequestHeaders. This will provide more information about the client's request, without attempting to read the underlying EDI data.

After invoking ReadRequest, the AS2From, AS2To, and MessageId properties will contain the appropriate values. MDNTo will contain a nonempty string if an MDN is requested; RequestedSignatureProtocol, RequestedMICAlgorithms, and ReceiptDeliveryOption provide more information about the client's request. Finally, RequestHeaders contains the complete list of HTTP/AS2 headers.

Next, invoke ParseRequest. The certificate used to decrypt and sign should be specified with the Certificate property, and your partner's signing certificate should be specified with SignerCert. This will process the headers, decompress and/or decrypt the message (if applicable), and verify the signature (if present). EncryptionType, SignatureType, and CompressionFormat describe whether and how the data was encrypted, signed, and compressed, respectively.

ParseRequest will populate EDIEDIType and EDIData.

Error Handling

If any errors occur an exception will be thrown and EDIData will not be populated. Information about the exception will be provided through the exception's error code and message and also through ScanResult. An MDN receipt reporting the error may still be generated; it is recommended that server software trap the error and invoke CreateMDNReceipt to report the error to the client.

The ErrorProcessingFlags property may be configured to allow predetermined types of errors. If ErrorProcessingFlags is set when ParseRequest (or ProcessRequest) is invoked, the errors specified will be allowed, an exception will not be thrown, and EDIData will still be determined. However, ScanResult will still report the error, as will the receipt generated by CreateMDNReceipt. To avoid reporting the errors in the receipt, set the ErrorReportingFlags property.

Creating an MDN-based Receipt

An MDN-based receipt may be created by invoking CreateMDNReceipt. Regardless of the success or failure of ProcessRequest, the receipt may be created as specified in RFCs 3335 and 2298. If no errors occurred when ProcessRequest was invoked, the receipt will report success and will be suitable for non-repudiation of receipt (NRR) if signed. If errors occurred, the MDN will report that an error occurred and that the EDI data was not processed. It is strongly recommended that server software trap any errors thrown by ProcessRequest and return the receipt in this case as well.

The MDNReceipt will consist of the MDN itself, a human-readable message, MIME headers and footers, and a signature if applicable. The receipt may be generated by invoking CreateMDNReceipt and customized further by setting the parameters to CreateMDNReceipt.

The Message parameter to CreateMDNReceipt may be used to customize the human-readable message in the receipt. If it is set to an empty string, an appropriate message will automatically be written whenever MDNReceipt is regenerated.

The receipt will be signed using the protocol specified by ReceiptSigningProtocol, if any. The certificate used to sign the receipt is specified by Certificate. By default the receipt will be signed if explicitly requested by the client, and unsigned otherwise.

Error reporting may be controlled by configuring ErrorReportingFlags. By default, any errors will cause MDNReceipt to report a failure to process the message (either "failed/Failure" or "processed/Error" will be reported, according to the specification and the type of error). Setting ErrorReportingFlags will cause the MDNReceipt to overlook the chosen types of errors. If all errors are overlooked, the MDNReceipt will report success and calculate a MIC on the original message as usual. A warning may be reported by setting the MDNWarning configuration setting.

Additional Server-Side Functionality

When used in a server environment such as ASP.NET, the component may be used to interface directly with the underlying HTTP context. If Request is not set by the user, ParseRequest and ProcessRequest will first get the request from the underlying HTTP environment, if possible. SendResponse will send the reply in this environment if able; otherwise the reply will be directed to standard out.

ASP.NET Core Notes

The component may be used within any .NET Standard compatible platform, including .NET Core and ASP.NET Core. When using AS2Receiver within an ASP.NET Core MVC application the component can be configured to automatically read from the request context, and send using the response context. To do so pass the HttpContext to the constructor of the AS2Receiver class. For instance:

//Inside HomeController.cs As2receiver as2 = new As2receiver(HttpContext);

""

Remarks

If IncomingDirectory is set, the received message is stored as a file in that directory. If a filename is specified in the EDI message, the component will write to the specified filename, otherwise, a filename will be automatically generated based on a timestamp of the incoming transmission. In either case, if the filename exists on disk, the data will be written to the same name with a "-duplicate?" appended to the filename, where "?" is the number of duplicates.

Please note that the SetTPInfo method, if used, needs to be invoked before setting this property because it overrides the setting for incoming directory.

Data Type

String

LocalHost Property (AS2Receiver Component)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

__property String LocalHost = { read=FLocalHost, write=FSetLocalHost };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the component initiate connections (or accept in the case of server components) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the component is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Note: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

The component will write multiple log file for each transmission, with separate extensions for each type of data:

One or more of these logs may be disabled by setting the LogOptions configuration setting.

LogDirectory supports several macros that can be used to specify a unique directory path. If the path specified does not already exist, the component will attempt to create the directory. The following macros are supported:

The filenames will be chosen automatically by the component. Each filename will be the system time, in the format YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-MMMM, with extensions "-2", "-3", used in case files of those names already exist. After each transaction is processed LogFile will contain the name of the files just written, minus the extension.

If logs cannot be written an exception will be thrown.

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.

SSLAcceptServerCertEncoded Property (AS2Receiver Component)

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

__property String SSLAcceptServerCertEncoded = { read=FSSLAcceptServerCertEncoded, write=FSetSSLAcceptServerCertEncoded };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB = { read=FSSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB, write=FSetSSLAcceptServerCertEncodedB };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLAcceptServerCertStore and SSLAcceptServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLAcceptServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLAcceptServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLAcceptServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLAcceptServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Byte Array

SSLCertStore Property (AS2Receiver Component)

The name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

Syntax

__property String SSLCertStore = { read=FSSLCertStore, write=FSetSSLCertStore };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLCertStoreB = { read=FSSLCertStoreB, write=FSetSSLCertStoreB };

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

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

Syntax

__property bool UsePSS = { read=FUsePSS, write=FSetUsePSS };

Default Value

false

Remarks

This property specifies whether or not RSA-PSS will be used when signing and verifying messages. The default value is False.

Data Type

Boolean

AckRequest Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Optional. Acknowledges the incoming request.

Syntax

void __fastcall AckRequest();

Remarks

When called from within a server environment, AckRequest will acknowledge the client request with a 200 OK. This may be useful if the client has posted a lot of data, and has requested an asynchronous receipt.

If an acknowledgement is not expected (i.e., the client is expecting an MDN in the response), then invoking this method will do nothing. Servers may safely call this method immediately after ParseRequest for both synchronous and asynchronous MDN requests.

Config Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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.

CreateMDNReceipt Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Creates MDNReceipt .

Syntax

void __fastcall CreateMDNReceipt(String Headers, String MDN, String Message);

Remarks

CreateMDNReceipt may be invoked after ParseRequest to create an MDN-based receipt. The receipt will report success or failure depending on ErrorReportingFlags and the success or failure of ParseRequest.

This method populates MDNReceipt with a new MDNReceipt. The Headers, MDN, and Message parameters can be used to further customize the receipt, or empty string ("") parameters may be set to use the component generated defaults. Headers will set additional transport headers to be sent with the receipt (in the HTTP or SMTP headers of the signed receipt). MDN can be used to append additional headers to the Message Disposition Notification portion of the MDN Receipt. If MDN is set to a value prefixed with an at sign ("@"), the at sign will be removed and the specified MDN will be used in the receipt in place of the component generated value. Message will set the human-readable portion of the receipt, and should describe any error conditions that may have occurred.

ParseRequest Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Parses the EDI message and determines the EDIData .

Syntax

void __fastcall ParseRequest();

Remarks

Processes the EDI message in the request (either from the HTTP context, or as given by Request and possibly RequestHeadersString). If the message is encrypted, it will be decrypted with the certificate specified in Certificate. If it is signed, the signature will be verified against the certificate specified in SignerCert.

If the message is scanned without difficulty, EDIData will be populated. If a problem occurs, an exception will be thrown. This might occur if the client used or requested unsupported algorithms or data formats. In this case, EDIData will not be determined.

The component may be configured to ignore certain errors by setting ErrorProcessingFlags. This will allow the message to be processed and EDIData to be determined. If any errors occur, an exception will be thrown and the ScanResult property will reflect the error condition.

Whether or not an exception is thrown, an MDNReceipt may be generated by invoking CreateMDNReceipt. In the case of a successful scan MDNReceipt will report the success, otherwise the receipt will provide information to the client about the error.

ProcessRequest may be used to scan and create the receipt in one step. ReadRequest may be used to scan the request headers only to obtain details that can be used to configure the correct settings for the partner.

ProcessRequest Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Processes the EDI data, and generates the receipt.

Syntax

void __fastcall ProcessRequest();

Remarks

Invoking ProcessRequest automates the entire AS2 server process. The method scans the request, determines the EDIData, and generates the MDNReceipt. In a server environment the receipt may be returned by invoking SendResponse.

The method's functionality is the same as the combined functionality of ParseRequest and CreateMDNReceipt. The method's operation is controlled by ErrorProcessingFlags and ErrorReportingFlags, and ScanResult will be populated as in ParseRequest.

The method will throw an exception, as ParseRequest does, if a problem is found while processing the request. However, if the problem does not prevent an MDN from being generated, MDNReceipt will still be generated before the exception is thrown. In all cases, the receipt will be suitable for returning to the client. If an exception is thrown, the MDNReceipt will provide more detail on the cause of the error.

The component will populate EDIData if no errors occurred scanning the request, or if ErrorProcessingFlags had been previously configured to allow the error.

ProcessRestartRequest Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Processes the AS2 restart request, and sends a response to the client.

Syntax

void __fastcall ProcessRestartRequest();

Remarks

Invoking ProcessRestartRequest automates the restart AS2 server process. The method should be invoked when the HTTP HEAD request is received. The component will then parse the request, and respond to the client with the number of bytes (if any) the component received during a previous connection. The component will look for unfinished files in the RestartDirectory when processing these requests.

ReadRequest Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Reads the AS2 request from the HTTP session.

Syntax

void __fastcall ReadRequest();

Remarks

ReadRequest reads the AS2 request from the content of the Request (and optionally the RequestHeadersString) property. The component will parse the request from Request. The headers will be read into RequestHeaders. Finally, the component will parse the headers and populate the following properties:

• AS2From
• AS2To
• AS2VersionIncoming
• MessageId
• MDNTo
• ReceiptDeliveryOption
• RequestedSignatureProtocol
• RequestedMICAlgorithms

ParseRequest may be used to scan the entire message.

Reset Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Resets the state of the control.

Syntax

void __fastcall Reset();

Remarks

Reset resets the state of the component. All properties will be set to their default values.

SendAsyncMDN Method (AS2Receiver Component)

Sends the MDNReceipt to the RemoteURL specified.

Syntax

void __fastcall SendAsyncMDN(String RemoteURL, DynamicArray<Byte> MDNReceipt, String MDNReceiptHeaders);

Remarks

This method sends the asynchronous MDNReceipt to the RemoteURL specified. It need not be invoked if the prior call to SendResponse was successful. The RemoteURL, MDNReceipt, and MDNReceiptHeaders parameters should be the ones that were retrieved from ReceiptDeliveryOption and MDNReceipt's Content and Headers properties respectively.

If the RemoteURL requires SMTP transfer, the appropriate SMTP settings should be set using Config.

SendResponse Method (AS2Receiver Component)

In a server environment, responds to the requesting client with MDNReceipt .

Syntax

void __fastcall SendResponse();

Remarks

When called from within a server environment, SendResponse will respond to the requesting client. If an MDN was requested, then MDNReceipt will be returned to the client, either in the HTTP response or in a separate transmission, depending on the client request. In case it is returned in a separate transmission, a simple acknowledgement of "200 OK" will also be sent in the HTTP response, unless this was sent previously using AckRequest.

The AS2 headers will be taken from MDNReceipt and will be merged with HTTP headers as appropriate. Note that if ReceiptDeliveryOption indicates a "mailto:" URL, the appropriate SMTP settings should be set using Config.

The exact behavior of the method is specific to the environment. . Otherwise, the receipt will be directed to stdout. If this is impossible, an exception will be thrown.

Optionally, if an asynchronous MDN is requested, the MDNReceipt and ReceiptDeliveryOption may be saved so that the MDN may be sent later through the SendAsyncMDN method.

This method should only be invoked after MDNReceipt has been generated by CreateMDNReceipt or ProcessRequest.

SetTPInfo Method (AS2Receiver Component)

A convenient way to set AS2 communication parameters using XML strings.

Syntax

void __fastcall SetTPInfo(String Profile);

Remarks

SetTPInfo offers a convenient way to set AS2 communication parameters using XML strings. The format of the XML is the same as provided by the method GetTPInfo of AS2ProfileMgr.

An example usage scenario is shown below. AS2Receiver as2receiver = new AS2Receiver(); AS2Profilemgr mgr = new AS2Profilemgr(); mgr.DataDir = "C:\as2data"; as2receiver.setTPInfo(mgr.getTPInfo("self")); as2receiver.readRequest(); as2sender.setTPInfo(mgr.getTPInfo(as2receiver.getAS2From())); as2receiver.processRequest(); as2receiver.sendResponse();

CEMRequest Event (AS2Receiver Component)

Fired when a Certificate Exchange Messaging (CEM) request is received.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String RequestId;
  String As2From;
} TibeAS2ReceiverCEMRequestEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverCEMRequestEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverCEMRequestEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverCEMRequestEvent OnCEMRequest = { read=FOnCEMRequest, write=FOnCEMRequest };

Remarks

This event fires when a Certificate Exchange Messaging (CEM) request is received.

RequestId is the CEM request Id. This must be saved and will be used when sending the CEM response.

As2From identifies the sender of the CEM request.

If CEMCertDir is set the received certificates will be written to the specified location. If CEMCertDir is not set the certificates will be held in memory and may be accessed by inspecting CEMDetails.

The CEM request also populates CEMRespondByDate and CEMResponseURL. CEMRespondByDate specifies the date by which the sender expects a response. CEMResponseURL specifies the URL to which the CEM response should be sent.

When this event fires the following CEMDetails properties are applicable:

• CEMCertStoreType
• CEMCertStore
• CEMCertSubject
• CEMCertUsage
• CEMCertIssuer
• CEMCertSerialNumber
• CEMCertId
• CEMRespondByDate
• CEMResponseURL

To send a CEM response save the CEMDetails values and call SendCEMResponse with the AS2Sender component.

CEMResponse Event (AS2Receiver Component)

Fired when a Certificate Exchange Messaging (CEM) response is received.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String RequestId;
  String As2From;
} TibeAS2ReceiverCEMResponseEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverCEMResponseEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverCEMResponseEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverCEMResponseEvent OnCEMResponse = { read=FOnCEMResponse, write=FOnCEMResponse };

Remarks

This event fires when a Certificate Exchange Messaging (CEM) response is received.

RequestId is the CEM request Id. Match this to the request Id from the original request.

As2From identifies the sender of the CEM request.

When this event fires the CEMDetails property will be populated. Inspect the CEMAccepted property to determine whether each CEM request was accepted. If the request was rejected, check CEMRejectionReason for details.

When this event fires the following CEMDetails properties are applicable:

• CEMCertIssuer
• CEMCertSerialNumber
• CEMAccepted
• CEMRejectionReason

EDIDataInfo Event (AS2Receiver Component)

Fired when processing an incoming message.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Name;
  String DataType;
  bool Duplicate;
} TibeAS2ReceiverEDIDataInfoEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverEDIDataInfoEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverEDIDataInfoEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverEDIDataInfoEvent OnEDIDataInfo = { read=FOnEDIDataInfo, write=FOnEDIDataInfo };

Remarks

When ParseRequest or ProcessRequest has been called this event will fire and provide the filename of the incoming data via the Name parameter. DataType will be the EDI type specified in the message, such as "application/edi-x12".

Duplicate is used in conjunction with the InvalidFileNameMDNAction configuration setting when Filename Preservation with an Associated MDN Response is implemented in the receiving agent to support MDN responses for duplicate filenames. If IncomingDirectory is specified, the Duplicate parameter will return True if the filename specified in the request exists on disk. Additionally, the Duplicate parameter may be set to True before the event exits so that checking for duplicate filenames may be extended to the application logic.

Error Event (AS2Receiver Component)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TibeAS2ReceiverErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverErrorEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Log Event (AS2Receiver Component)

Fired with log information while processing a message.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String LogType;
  String LogMessage;
  DynamicArray<Byte> LogMessageB;
} TibeAS2ReceiverLogEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverLogEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverLogEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverLogEvent OnLog = { read=FOnLog, write=FOnLog };

Remarks

This event fires once for each log message generated by the component. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

Log messages available through this event correspond to log files written to LogDirectory. This event provides a way to obtain log messages without relying on files on disk. This event fires regardless of the value of LogDirectory (i.e. when LogDirectory is empty the event will still fire).

The LogMessage event parameter holds the raw log data.

The LogType event parameter indicates the type of log. Possible values are:

RecipientInfo Event (AS2Receiver Component)

Fired for each recipient certificate of the encrypted message.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Issuer;
  String SerialNumber;
  String SubjectKeyIdentifier;
  String EncryptionAlgorithm;
} TibeAS2ReceiverRecipientInfoEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverRecipientInfoEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverRecipientInfoEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverRecipientInfoEvent OnRecipientInfo = { read=FOnRecipientInfo, write=FOnRecipientInfo };

Remarks

When ParseRequest or ProcessRequest has been called on a valid encrypted message, this event will fire for each recipient certificate that the message has been encrypted for.

Issuer is the subject of the issuer certificate.

SerialNumber is the serial number of the encryption certificate.

SubjectKeyIdentifier is the X.509 subjectKeyIdentifier extension value of the certificate used to sign the message encoded as a hex string.

EncryptionAlgorithm is the encryption algorithm used to encrypt the message. Possible values are as follows:

• "3DES"
• "DES"
• "RC2CBC40"
• "RC2CBC64"
• "RC2CBC128" or "RC2"
• "AESCBC128" or "AES"
• "AESCBC192"
• "AESCBC256"
• "AESGCM128" or "AESGCM"
• "AESGCM192"
• "AESGCM256"

SignerCertInfo Event (AS2Receiver Component)

This event is fired during verification of the signed message.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Issuer;
  String SerialNumber;
  String SubjectKeyIdentifier;
  String CertEncoded;
  DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB;
} TibeAS2ReceiverSignerCertInfoEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverSignerCertInfoEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverSignerCertInfoEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverSignerCertInfoEvent OnSignerCertInfo = { read=FOnSignerCertInfo, write=FOnSignerCertInfo };

Remarks

During verification, this event will be raised while parsing the signer's certificate information. The parameters that are populated depend on the options used when the message was originally signed. This information may be used to select the correct certificate for SignerCert to verify the signature. The following parameters may be populated:

Issuer specifies the subject of the issuer of the certificate used to sign the message.

SerialNumber is the serial number of the certificate used to sign the message.

SubjectKeyIdentifier is the X.509 subjectKeyIdentifier extension value of the certificate used to sign the message encoded as a hex string.

CertEncoded is the PEM (Base64 encoded) public certificate needed to verify the signature.

Note: When this value is present, the component will automatically use this value to perform signature verification.

The SignerCert property may be set from within this event. In this manner, the decision of which signer certificate to load may be delayed until the parameters of this event are inspected and the correct certificate can be located and loaded.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (AS2Receiver Component)

For asynchronous HTTPS MDNs, fired after the server presents its certificate.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String CertEncoded;
  DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB;
  String CertSubject;
  String CertIssuer;
  String Status;
  bool Accept;
} TibeAS2ReceiverSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };

Remarks

This event is fired when returning asynchronous MDNs over HTTPS to the client, and allows the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. In general, the component will allow self-signed certs only if explicitly specified.

To accept a self-signed certificate, either trap the SSLServerAuthentication event and set Accept to true based on the values of CertSubject, CertEncoded, etc., or set the SSLAcceptServerCert property to the value of the expected certificate (if the server certificate is known in advance the latter method is simpler).

SSLStatus Event (AS2Receiver Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TibeAS2ReceiverSSLStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibeAS2ReceiverSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibeAS2ReceiverSSLStatusEventParams *e);
__property TibeAS2ReceiverSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.
