AS2 Configuration

The adapter accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the adapter, access to these internal properties is provided through the Other property.

AS2 Configuration Settings


	SignatureAlgorithm: Signature algorithm to be used in outgoing messages. The Signature Algorithm can be set to indicate the preferred signing algorithm. Possible values are: sha1 (default) md5 sha-224 sha-256 sha-384 sha-512 The default value is "sha1". MDNOptions will need to be updated to reflect the selected algorithm if the MDN receipt is to be signed with the same algorithm. For example: signed-receipt-protocol=optional, pkcs7-signature; signed-receipt-micalg=optional, sha-256 This is applicable to the send adapter only.
	SMTPFrom: The senders address for asynchronous MDN delivery. If an asynchronous MDN is requested to be sent over SMTP this specifies the sender. This is applicable to the receive adapter only.
	SMTPServer: The SMTP server for asynchronous MDN delivery. If an asynchronous MDN is requested to be sent over SMTP this specifies the server. This is applicable to the receive adapter only.
	SMTPSubject: The SMTP message subject for asynchronous MDN delivery. If an asynchronous MDN is requested to be sent over SMTP this specifies the subject. This is applicable to the receive adapter only.
	UseChunkedEncoding: Whether to chunk outgoing posts. When sending, this setting controls whether data is chunked. Chunking allows data to be streamed as it is available instead of preparing the entire message first. It is recommended to set this to True if sending very large files. The default value is False.

SSL Configuration Settings

SSLEnabledProtocols: Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.

Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 240). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:


TLS1.2	3072 (Hex C00) (Default)
TLS1.1	768 (Hex 300) (Default)
TLS1	192 (Hex C0) (Default)
SSL3	48 (Hex 30)
SSL2	12 (Hex 0C)

TLS 1.1 and TLS1.2 support are only available starting with Windows 7.

General Configuration Settings


	AbsoluteTimeout: Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts. If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.
	LocalHost: The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted. The LocalHost configuration 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 value of an interface will make the adapter initiate connections (or accept in the case of server adapters) only through that interface. If the adapter is connected, the LocalHost configuration 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).
	TcpNoDelay: Whether or not to delay when sending packets. When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm. By default, this config is set to false.
	UseManagedSecurityAPI: Tells the adapter whether or not to use the system security libraries or a managed implementation. By default the adapter will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. This means calls to unmanaged code will be made. In certain environments this is not desirable. To use a completely managed security implementation set this setting to True. Setting this to True tells the adapter to use the internal managed implementation instead of using the system's security API. Note that when this value is set the product's system dll is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in this file.

Supported Macros

The adapter also supports the following Macros. These values are not case sensitive and would be supplied to a property in the form %MacroName%.


Temp	This is resolved to the full path to the system's temporary directory.
MessageID	Globally unique identifier (GUID) of the message in BizTalk Server.
SourceFileName	The original file name. This includes the extension and excludes the file path, for example, Sample.xml
SourceFileNameNoExt	The original file name without the extension or file path, for example, Sample
RemoteFileName	The name of the file as it was uploaded to the remote server. This includes the extension and excludes the file path, for example, Sample.xml. Valid only for AS3, FTP, and SFTP Send Adapters.
DestinationParty	Name of the destination party.
DestinationPartyQualifier	Qualifier of the destination party.
SourceParty	Name of the source party.
SourcePartyQualifier	Qualifier of the source party.
DateTime:CustomFormat	This special value allows you to specify your own custom time format. For instance DateTime:yyyy would be resolved to the 4 digit year.
Date	The date format yyyy-MM-dd.
DateTime	The date format yyyy-MM-ddThhmmss.
Time	The date format hhmmss.
DateTime_BTS2000	The date format yyyyMMddhhmmssf.
DateTime.TZ	The date format yyyy-MM-ddThhmmsszzz.
Time.TZ	The date format hhmmsszzz.
