Properties   Configuration Settings  

The AS4Web Adapter adds AS4 receive functionality to BizTalk Server.

Remarks

The AS4Web Adapter supports receiving files into BizTalk. Using a simple application-like design, the adapter allows you to easily incorporate secure EDI (EDI-INT) exchange into your current e-Business process architecture.

AS4Wbe Receive Adapter

The AS4Web Receive Adapter implements an AS4 server that can communicate with your BizTalk Server. This accepts files sent by your partner to you (handling incoming push requests).

In order to use the AS4Web Receiver, you must set the AS4SiteURL where your AS4 server is hosted, as well as the TradingPartner and ReceivingPartner AS4 identifiers. The AS4Web Receiver will read all incoming requests and check them against these values to ensure that the request comes from a known sender and is actually intended for the receiving entity.

To decrypt incoming messages set DecryptionCert to you private key. To verify the signature of incoming message set SignerCert to your partner's public certificate. To sign receipts sent back to you partner set SigningCert. If a receipt should be sent, set SendReceipt to Yes.

Once the incoming AS4 request has been parsed and verified, the contents are submitted to your BizTalk Server to be processed. Upon successful submission, the adapter will generate and send a receipt to your trading partner.

The AS4Web Receiver is an isolated adapter, meaning that it is hosted by a separate application outside of the BizTalk Server. The adapter uses the incoming HTTP POST URL as the key for storing and retrieving its property set within BizTalk's database. Thus a single page can host multiple trading partner configurations.
