AS4Web Adapter
The AS4Web Component 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.
AS4Web 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 your 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 if SendReceipt is true.
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.

Remarks
If LogDirectory is specified, log files will be written in the specified directory and LogFile will contain the path. A diagnostic log will be written with filename LogFile + ".log".
Since this log file is dynamically generated, this property can be read after the adapter has processed the message to determine the exact name of the log file.
MaxThreads Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The maximum number of threads that the component may consume.
Data Type
Integer
Default Value
20
Remarks
This property limits the number of concurrent threads that the adapter may consume while completing its work.
This property can only be configured through the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.
MaxTransmissionBatchSize Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The maximum number of messages that can be sent in a single batch.
Data Type
Integer
Default Value
1
Remarks
This property controls the maximum size of an outbound message batch.
Note: be careful when modifying this property as it directly effects the efficiency of the transmit adapter. Setting MaxTransmissionBatchSize to a low value in an environment that requires transmission of large quantities of data will result in the adapter accumulating several small batches. If TransmitBatchMode is set to Parallel, this will result in the adapter transmitting many small batches at once and can put a heavy load on the processor.
Conversely, if TransmitBatchMode is set to Serial, setting MaxTransmissionBatchSize to a large value may result in long transmission delays as the adapter will wait on existing work to complete before accepting new messages from the BizTalk Message Engine. This is especially true when the adapter is transmitting large data.
This property can only be configured through the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.
This property is not available in the Receiver.
Other Property (AS4Web Adapter)
Defines a set of configuration settings to be used by the component.
Data Type
String
Default Value
""
Remarks
The adapter accepts one or more 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.
The Other property may be set to one or more configuration settings (name/value pairs). Set one setting per line.
For example:
configname1=value1
configname2=value2
Profile Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The AS4 profile.
Data Type
Enumeration
Possible Values
Standard (0)
ENTSOG (1)
ESENS (2)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the AS4 profile to use. Different profiles may have different requirements and default options. Setting this property to the correct value ensures that the right options are selected in order to conform to the profile. Possible values are:

ReceivedFileName Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The name of the file received by the AS4 component.
Data Type
String
Default Value
""
Remarks
If a file name is included in the AS4 request's message headers, it will be written to this context property.
Note: this value is also placed in the File.ReceivedFileName and the FTP.ReceivedFileName context properties. This is to ensure compatibility with other adapters that poll those context properties to fill out macros such as %SourceFileName%.
This property is not available in the Sender.
ReceivingPartner Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The identity of AS4 receiving entity.
Data Type
String
Default Value
""
Remarks
This is the Id of the trading partner that will be receiving AS4 transmissions for this receive location. When data is received, this will value will be checked against the value supplied by the sending entity to ensure that the document received is intended for this receiver.
This property is not available in the Sender.
RegisterIsolatedReceiverTimeout Property (AS4Web Adapter)
This setting specifies the number of seconds the isolated receive adapter will search for a corresponding receive location.
Data Type
Integer
Default Value
15
Remarks
When processing an incoming request from the HTTP endpoints the adapter will look for the URI of a receive location which matches the incoming request. This process communicates with BizTalk and in high load scenarios this operation may require additional time to complete. The default value is 15 seconds. If an intermittent "Timeout while waiting for endpoint configuration" error is seen, set this to a larger value.
This property can only be configured through the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.
This property is not available in the Sender.
RequeueEndpoints Property (AS4Web Adapter)
Whether to requeue receive endpoints if the polling interval has not been reached.
Data Type
Boolean
Default Value
false
Remarks
This setting controls whether receive endpoints are requeued for later processing if the polling interval has not yet been reached. When this setting is set to No (default) each thread will block until the polling interval for the corresponding receive location is reached. If there exist more active receive locations than MaxThreads it is possible for some threads to block the execution of others since they may be waiting for a polling interval.
When this setting is set to Yes if the polling interval has not been reached the thread will not block until the polling interval is reached, and instead the endpoint will be requeued to be processed later. This lets subsequent endpoints in the queue to be processed.
If MaxThreads is set to a low value and there are a larger number of receive locations setting this to Yes will help assure that polling intervals are respected and receive locations poll in a timely manner.
The default value is No.

SignerCert Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The public signing certificate of the partner.
Data Type
CertificateRemarks
This property specifies the public certificate of the partner that was used to sign the message. The adapter will verify the signature with the public certificate specified here.
This property is used to set a Public Key Certificate.
Ordinarily, the system will attempt to locate the public key in trusted certificate stores in the system registry. If a match is found, the certificate is trusted, and the process proceeds without error. If the certificate is not trusted, the adapter will report an error.
You may explicitly set a public key, either to accept a key that is not installed on the system, or to ensure that a specific key is presented. Public key certificates may be loaded from the machine registry or from file. If you click on the ellipses, a certificate selection dialog will open. To select a public key from the system registry, select the System Store tab or the User Store tab, and highlight the appropriate registry store. The list of available certificates will be shown below.
Alternatively, you may specify a public key on file. Select the PEM or Certificate File tabs to load a public key from file. You can use the browse button to examine the file system for the certificate that you wish to use. Public keys typically are stored in .CER, .DER, or .PEM files, but other formats may be used. You can click on the Open button to examine the contents of the certificate. Or, if you have a certificate stored in memory, you can write the contents of the certificate into the text box provided. Note that if you are loading a certificate from memory, the certificate must be Base-64 encoded, or the string representation of the certificate may become corrupted and uninterpretable.
Regardless of how you selected the certificate, once you hit the OK button, the adapter will attempt to verify that certificate selection. If successful, the subject of the certificate will be displayed in the property field. If the adapter was not able to verify the selection, a dialog box will appear instead detailing the verification error.
SigningCert Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The certificate used to sign the outgoing AS4 message.
Data Type
CertificateRemarks
This property specifies a certificate with private key used to sign the outgoing request and receipts.
This field is used to set a Private Key Certificate.
Private key certificates may be loaded from the registry, from files in PKCS#12 format, or from a PEM file format. If you click on the ellipses, a certificate selection dialog will open. To select a private key from the system registry, select the System Store tab or the User Store tab, and highlight the appropriate registry store. The list of certificates which have private keys will be shown below.
To select a private key certificate from a file in PKCS#12 format, select the PFX Store tab. The browse button can be used to examine the file system for PKCS#12 (.pfx or .p12) certificates. If you wish to examine the certificate, provide the password in the field provided and click on the Open button to examine the file store for certificates present. To load a certificate from PEM files, select the PEM tab. Like the PFX file selection, you can specify the password and click the Open button to examine the certificates in the PEM store, or you may paste any PEM data stored in memory.
Regardless of how you selected the certificate, once you hit the OK button, the adapter will attempt to verify that certificate selection. If successful, the subject of the certificate will be displayed in the property field. If the adapter was not able to verify the selection, a dialog box will appear instead detailing the verification error.
SSLAcceptServerCert Property (AS4Web Adapter)
For sending HTTPS requests, a server certificate to unconditionally accept.
Data Type
CertificateRemarks
In the Send Adapter, this property is used when communicating with trading partners via HTTPS to the URL specified in URL.
In the Receive Adapter, this property is used when an asynchronous MDN is requested by your trading partner to the URL specified in MDNDeliveryOption.
When an HTTPS request is issued by the adapter, a new secure connection is created with the trading partner. By default, the adapter will reject self-signed certificates and any other server certificates not signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
This property is used to set a Public Key Certificate.
Ordinarily, the system will attempt to locate the public key in trusted certificate stores in the system registry. If a match is found, the certificate is trusted, and the process proceeds without error. If the certificate is not trusted, the adapter will report an error.
You may explicitly set a public key, either to accept a key that is not installed on the system, or to ensure that a specific key is presented. Public key certificates may be loaded from the machine registry or from file. If you click on the ellipses, a certificate selection dialog will open. To select a public key from the system registry, select the System Store tab or the User Store tab, and highlight the appropriate registry store.

TempPath Property (AS4Web Adapter)
A temporary local directory where data can be stored before the component processes it.
Data Type
String
Default Value
""
Remarks
This property indicates a temporary directory where the adapter can store any data before the adapter processes it. If TempPath is empty, the adapter will receive all data to memory. If set, the adapter will generate and write all inbound data to a temporary file in the specified directory.
Once the file is submitted, the adapter will handle closing the file stream and deleting the temporary file. However, if the adapter is shut down during a transfer some temporary files may be left in the directory. To ensure optimal performance, server administrators should check the directory regularly and remove old or extraneous files.
This property accepts the "%TEMP%" macro, which will be replaced with the default system temporary directory at runtime. Note: by default, this property is empty and the adapter will use memory streams to store all inbound data before submitting it. It is recommended that you use a temporary directory when downloading large batches or batches containing large files to alleviate potential increased memory requirements.
This property is not available in the Sender.
Timeout Property (AS4Web Adapter)
A timeout for the component.
Data Type
Integer
Default Value
60
Remarks
If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion, or an error condition is encountered.
If Timeout is set to a positive value, the adapter will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.
If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the adapter fails with an error.
Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when data is successfully sent or received.
Optionally, the behavior of the adapter may be changed to absolute timeouts, i.e. the adapter will wait for a maximum of Timeout seconds since the beginning of the operation, without extending the timeout period during communications.
This behavior is controlled by the AbsoluteTimeout configuration setting.
The default value for the Timeout property is 60 (seconds).
TokenPassword Property (AS4Web Adapter)
The password used in UsernameToken authentication.
Data Type
Password

The digital certificate being used.
Remarks
This type describes the current digital certificate. The certificate may be a public or private key. The fields are used to identify or select certificates.
Fields
The name of the certificate store for the client certificate.
The StoreType field specifies the type of the certificate store specified by Store. If the store is password protected, specify the password in StorePassword.
Store is used in conjunction with the Subject field in order to specify client certificates. If Store has a value, and Subject is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please refer to the Subject field for details.
Designations of certificate stores are platform-dependent.
The following are designations of the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:
| MY | A certificate store holding personal certificates with their associated private keys. |
| CA | Certifying authority certificates. |
| ROOT | Root certificates. |
| SPC | Software publisher certificates. |
In Java, the certificate store normally is a file containing certificates and optional private keys.
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. PKCS12 certificate store).
If the provider is OpenSSL, the certificate store is a file containing a certificate and a private key. This property must be set to the name of the file.
If the certificate store is of a type that requires a password, this property is used to specify that password in order to open the certificate store.
The type of certificate store for this certificate.
The adapter supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the adapter will automatically determine the type. This field can take one of the following values:
| 0 (cstUser - default) | For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a certificate store owned by the current user. Note: this store type is not available in Java. |
| 1 (cstMachine) | For Windows, this specifies that the certificate store is a machine store. Note: this store type is not available in Java. |
| 2 (cstPFXFile) | The certificate store is the name of a PFX (PKCS12) file containing certificates. |

| 23 (cstPKCS11) | The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS11 interface.
To use a security key the necessary data must first be collected using the CERTMGR adapter. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS11 dll. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use. When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the Store and set StorePassword to the PIN. Code Example: SSH Authentication with Security Key
|
| 99 (cstAuto) | The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically. |
The subject of the certificate used for client authentication.
When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store certificate with matching subject.
If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.
When setting the property to a partial subject, CN= should be omitted. For example, the following code would find the certificate with subject CN=Test Certificate, OU=People, C=US
Example (Searching with partial subject)
Control.CertSubject = "Test"
If a match is 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.
If a matching certificate is found, Subject is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.
The thumbprint of the certificate.
This field is used to specify the thumbprint of the certificate. When there are multiple certificates in the store that have the same subject, the thumbprint will be used to distinguish between them.

Remarks
This describes how and where the adapter will record information describing its execution.
Fields
This field describes the location where the logging information is to be written.
If the EventLog LogType has been chosen, this field must contain the name of the Event Log to which the information should be written. The default value for this field is "Application". If a value other than "Application" is set the computer must be restarted for the change to take effect. Note that the same event log must be used for all send ports and receive locations that use the same adapter.
If the File LogType has been chosen, this field must contain the location of the file to write logging information to on the file system.
The adapter also supports logging to files based on the current date and time. This allows for log files to be organized by days, months, or other intervals as specified. When specifying a log filename include a valid .NET date and time format string within the < and > characters. For instance C:\logs\sftp_<yyyyMMdd>.log or C:\logs\as2_<yyyyMMdd>T<hhmm>.log.
This field controls what information the adapter logs. The possible values have the following affect on the adapter's behavior:
| Verbose | The adapter will report all information regarding the transport. |
| Info | The adapter will report all major operations, as well as all warnings and errors. |
| Warning | The adapter will report any conditions that could result in unpredictable behavior as well as errors. |
| Error | The adapter will report all errors that prevent normal operations from completing. |
| Fatal | The adapter will report only serious errors that cause the adapter to completely stop functioning. |
This property controls where the adapter will log the information. The possible values have the following affect on the adapter's behavior:

public Log();
public Log(LogTypes logType, string location, LogModes logMode);
Proxy Type
The proxy the component will connect to.
Remarks
When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy such as the Server and the AuthScheme.
Fields
Use the AuthScheme field to tell the adapter which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is only used when the User and Password fields are set.
AuthScheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.
By default, AuthScheme is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password fields are set, the component will attempt basic authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.
If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the adapter. Look at the configuration file for the adapter being used to find more information about manually setting this token.
If AuthScheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used. This option is only available in the SSL package.
For security reasons, setting this property will clear the values of User and Password.
Tells the adapter whether or not to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available.
A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
The TCP port for the proxy Server (default 80). See the description of the Server field for details.
If a proxy Server is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified.
If the Server field is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the Server field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
Determines when to use SSL for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are the following:
| psAutomatic (0) | Default setting. The connection to the Server is SSL-enabled for 'https' URL-s, and non SSL-enabled for other URL-s. |
| psAlways (1) | The connection is always SSL-enabled. |
| psNever (2) | The connection is not SSL-enabled. |
| psTunnel (3) | The connection is through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy. |
A user name, if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
If AuthScheme is set to Basic Authentication, the User and Password are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".
If AuthScheme is set to Digest Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server.
If AuthScheme is set to NTLM Authentication, the User and Password fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation.
Constructors

Config Settings (AS4Web Adapter)
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.AS4Web Config Settings
| Base64 (2) | Base64 encoding of binary data. |
| Binary (4) | Binary data without any encoding. |
The default value depends on the Profile. For the Standard profile the default value is False. When Profile is set to ENTSOG this value is set to True.
| 0 (X509 - default) | X509 data including the certificate's issuer name and issuer serial number is included in the X509Data element. |
| 1 (Binary) | A binary security token holds the base64 encoded contents of the public certificate and is referenced from within the Reference element. |
| 2 (Subject Key Identifier) | The X509 subject key identifier is included in the KeyIdentifier element. |
| 3 (X509PKIPathv1) | A binary security token holds the base64 encoded ordered list of X509 public certificates and is referenced from within the Reference element. |
The default value is 0 (X509) and should not be changed unless there is a specific reason to do so.
Note: The default value when Profile is set to eDelivery is 1 (Binary).
This is helpful in the case where Profile is set to ebpfStandard and the first file being sent is of type "text/xml" or "application/xml". In that case the file content is included in the SOAP body and there is no standard mechanism for preserving the filename.
When set the adapter will automatically populate the property when sending files and will read the filename from this property when receiving files.
By default this is not specified.
Note: The filenames will always be preserved within the MIME header attributes whenever possible regardless of whether this setting is specified.
If set to True (default) the adapter will only attempt to use the certificate specified by SigningCert. If SigningCert is not specified signing will not be attempted.
component.Config("FromIdCount=2");
component.Config("FromId[0]=id1");
component.Config("FromIdType[0]=mytype");
component.Config("FromId[1]=id2");
When receiving a message with multiple Ids, query these settings to read the values.
By default this value is unspecified and only a single Id is used as specified in the Id field of AS4From.

| 0 (Error) | Only errors are logged. |
| 1 (Info - default) | Informational and errors are logged. |
| 2 (Debug) | All information is logged including debug info. |
| Log | Contains information about the steps taken during processing. Also see LogLevel. |
| Incoming | Contains the raw request/response that is received by the adapter. |
| Outgoing | Contains the raw request/response that is sent by the adapter. |

| OutgoingMessage | Contains the outgoing ebXML message. |
| All (default) | All of the above |
- "SHA1"
- "SHA224"
- "SHA256" (default)
- "SHA384"

Note: If Profile is set to ENTSOG the MGF1HashAlgorithm will be set to "SHA256" by default.
- "SHA1"
- "SHA224"
- "SHA256" (default)
- "SHA384"

- "SHA224"
- "SHA256" (default)
- "SHA384"
- "SHA512"
If this setting is specified, the adapter will verify the chain of the signer certificate against the CA
list set in this setting. To specify one or more CA certificate prior to signature verification set
this to the base64 encoded public certificate of each CA certificate. Each additional certificate can be
added by prepending the data with a + character. If the value begins with a + the adapter
will add the following value to an internal store of CA certificates. For instance:
//Add the first CA certificate
as4.Config("SignerCACert=MIICFDCCAX2g...");
//Add another CA certificate (Note the leading '+')
as4.Config("SignerCACert=+MIICHDCCAYW...");
If the chain validation fails during signature verification the adapter throws an exception. If this setting is not specified no chain validation is performed.
| 0 (X509 - default) | X509 data including the certificate's issuer name and issuer serial number is included in the X509Data element. |
| 1 (Binary) | A binary security token holds the base64 encoded contents of the public certificate and is referenced from within the Reference element. |
| 2 (Subject Key Identifier) | The X509 subject key identifier is included in the KeyIdentifier element. |
| 3 (X509PKIPathv1) | A binary security token holds the base64 encoded ordered list of X509 public certificates and is referenced from within the Reference element. |
The default value is 0 (X509) and should not be changed unless there is a specific reason to do so.
Note: The default value when Profile is set to eDelivery is 1 (Binary).

This setting is only applicable to the Receive adapter
SSL Config Settings
If set to true, the adapter will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
- The target host name is the same.
- The system cache entry has not expired (default timeout is 10 hours).
- The application process that calls the function is the same.
- The logon session is the same.
- The instance of the adapter is the same.
Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library.
Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application.
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*").
The special value "*" means that the adapter will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered.
Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons.
Example values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is False (default):
// The "Other" property could contain ONE of the following lines:

If SSLEnabledProtocols is configured to use TLS 1.3 the following values are supported:
- TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). 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:
| TLS1.3 | 12288 (Hex 3000) (Experimental) |
| 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) |
Note: TLS 1.1 and TLS1.2 support are only available starting with Windows 7.
Note: Enabling TLS 1.3 will automatically set UseInternalSecurityAPI to True.
If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the transport log. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.
Note: When UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True this value is automatically set to True. This is needed for proper validation when using the internal provider.
| 0x00000001 | Ignore time validity status of certificate. |
| 0x00000002 | Ignore time validity status of CTL. |
| 0x00000004 | Ignore non-nested certificate times. |
| 0x00000010 | Allow unknown Certificate Authority. |
| 0x00000020 | Ignore wrong certificate usage. |
| 0x00000100 | Ignore unknown certificate revocation status. |
| 0x00000200 | Ignore unknown CTL signer revocation status. |
| 0x00000400 | Ignore unknown Certificate Authority revocation status. |
| 0x00000800 | Ignore unknown Root revocation status. |
| 0x00008000 | Allow test Root certificate. |
| 0x00004000 | Trust test Root certificate. |
| 0x80000000 | Ignore non-matching CN (certificate CN not-matching server name). |
When specified the adapter will verify that the server certificate signature algorithm is among the values specified in this setting. If the server certificate signature algorithm is unsupported the adapter will fail with an error.
The format of this value is a comma separated list of hash-signature combinations. For instance:
// The "Other" could contain ALL of these lines:
UseInternalSecurityAPI=true
SSLEnabledProtocols=3072
TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa
The default value for this setting is "sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa".
In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1.
When using TLS 1.2 and UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1" (default)
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result only some groups are included by default in this setting.
Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group.
In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448"
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp521r1"
- "ffdhe_2048" (default)
- "ffdhe_3072" (default)
- "ffdhe_4096"
- "ffdhe_6144"
- "ffdhe_8192"
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha256" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha384" (default)
- "rsa_pkcs1_sha512" (default)
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192
The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:
- "ecdhe_x25519" (default)
- "ecdhe_x448" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp256r1" (default)
- "ecdhe_secp384r1" (default)

General Config Settings
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).
By default, this config is set to false.
Setting this setting to True tells the adapter to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to False by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to True by default.
If using the .NET Standard Library, this setting will be True on all platforms. The .NET Standard library does not support using the system security libraries.
Note: This setting is static. The value set is applicable to all adapters used in the application.
When this value is set the product's system DLL is no longer required as a reference, as all unmanaged code is stored in that 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%.
