SMIMEEmail Adapter

Properties   Config Settings  

The SMIMEEmail Component adds S/MIME-protected email capability to the BizTalk Server.

Remarks

The SMIMEEmail Adapter adds support for sending and receiving S/MIME-protected emails to BizTalk Server. The adapter allows you to encrypt and sign emails before sending and decrypt and verify signatures on received emails.

SMIMEEmail Receiver Adapter

The SMIMEEmail Receiver adapter is the S/MIME enabled equivalent of the Email Receive adapter. In addition to standard IMAP and POP3 functions, the SMIMEEmail Receiver adapter can decrypt and/or verify message signatures. In order to use the SMIMEEmail Receiver adapter, you must first select a ServerType. You must also enter a MailServer and User. For servers that require authentication, you will also have to enter a Password. To activate SSL, you must also set the SSLAcceptServerCert and SSLStartMode. The adapter will attempt to determine the correct port to connect to based on the server type and SSL settings. However, you may override the default by directly setting the MailPort in the property pages.

Once you have your port set up, the adapter will connect to the server once every PollingInterval and download messages. To control how the messages are downloaded, or to prevent duplicate messages from being fetched from the mail server, you may set the DeleteMode to an appropriate value. For IMAP connections, you may also set a Filter.

The adapter will write as much information as it has regarding the emails to various properties in the message context that can be polled at runtime. These include MessageFrom, MessageTo, MessageSubject and MessageHeaders. The message headers may also be included with the message body by setting the IncludeHeaders property to True.

When it receives an email, the SMIMEEmail Reciever adapter will detect if the message is encrypted and attempt to decrypt it using the certificate in the Certificate property. If the message is signed, it will also attempt to verify the signature using the certificate in the SignerCert property.

SMIMEEmail Sender Adapter

The SMIMEEmail Sender Adapter is a complete SMTP client that can also encrypt and sign emails. To send emails from the adapter you must set at a minimum your SMTPServer, as well as your From and SendTo email addresses. Should you need to guarantee a secure transmission, you may set the SSLCert and SSLStartMode properties, as well as a specific SSLAcceptServerCert.

You may also add carbon copy and blind carbon copy recipients via the Cc and BCc properties. If you wish to receive delivery or read notifications, you can set the DeliveryReceipt and ReadReceipt properties. You may set the Subject of your message. The contents of the outbound message will be sent as the body of the email.

If you want to encrypt an email you are sending, set the RecipientCert property to the receiver's certificate, set the EncryptData property to true, and set EncryptingAlgorithm to the encryption algorithm you want to use. To sign an email, set the Certificate property to your certificate, set the SignData property to true, and set the SigningAlgorithm property to the hash algorithm you want to use for signing.

Setting the SMIMEEmail Adapter Configuration Properties for a Dynamic Send Port

A dynamic send port does not provide any transport configuration options in BizTalk Explorer because it is expected that these properties will be provided with the context properties associated with the message. These properties can be set in a custom pipeline or in an orchestration. To set message configuration properties in an orchestration you can do the following:

• Add a Construct Message shape to your orchestration.
• Configure the Construct Message shape to construct a new message. (for example Message_2)
• Add a Message Assignment shape to the Construct Message shape.
• Add code to the Message Assignment shape to initialize the message that you constructed and to set the appropriate configuration properties for the message.

When retrieving messages from a mail server, this setting may be set to a full path to which attachments should be saved. For example "C:\download\attachments". This setting is valid only when receiving messages, and is supported when using both the IMAP and POP protocols. The DuplicateAttachmentAction will determine what happens if a file with the same name already exists.

This property is not available in the Sender.

Attachments Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Specifies which files the component should include as attachments in the outgoing message.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

Attachments may be used when sending an email to specify which files will be included as attachments to the outgoing message.

The value should be a pipe ("|") -delimited sequence of one or more filenames. The filenames should be specified with paths if necessary, so that the files may be found on the local file system.

If this property is set to an empty string, no attachments will be included in the outgoing message.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

AuthMode Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The authentication mode to be used when connecting to the MailServer .

Remarks

The following authentication modes are supported by the Email adapter:

The default AuthMode is Login.

BCc Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

A comma separated list of addresses for blind carbon copies (optional).

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The BCc property specifies a comma separated list of destinations for blind carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination, but no BCc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses, so individual recipients never see the list of the other recipients.

The adapter will stop processing the message and log an error if the SMTPServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc, but it will only log warnings if the same happens with an email address specified in BCc.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

Cc Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

A comma separated list of addresses for carbon copies (optional).

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The Cc property specifies a comma separated list of destinations for carbon copies of the mail message. A copy of the message is sent to each destination, and a Cc SMTP header is created containing the destination addresses. This header is sent to every recipient of the message. If you don't want to copy this information to every recipient, then use blind carbon copies instead (see the description of the BCc).

The adapter will stop processing the message and log an error if the SMTPServer returns an error code about any email address specified in SendTo or Cc, but it will only log warnings if the same happens with an email address specified in BCc.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

Certificate Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The Certificate used to sign (Encoder) and decrypt (Decoder) messages.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

The adapter uses this certificate to sign MIME data when S/MIME encoding. This property is also used to decrypt S/MIME entities in the Decoder, and it should be set to the certificate that holds the private key that is paired with the public key that was used to encrypt the data.

ConnectionLifetime Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Instructs the component whether or not to leave the connection to the server open.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

Automatic (0)
Per Batch (1)
Persisted (2)

Remarks

This property is used when uploading batches of messages to a server that use the same connection properties. In order to minimize connection-related protocol overhead, connections may be persisted with various lifetimes:

This property is not available in the Receiver.

DeleteMode Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Controls if and when the email is deleted after download.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

Never (0)
On Success (1)
On Failure (2)
Always (3)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property informs the adapter as to whether or not it should delete a remote files from the server after a successful download. The possible values and their meanings are as follows:

Note: the default value is Never for data protection purposes. Unless modified this will result in the adapter continuously receiving the same data.

This property is not available in the Sender.

DeliveryReceipt Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Whether or not a delivery receipt should be returned to the sender.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

When set to True, a Return-Receipt-To header is added to the message. If the email recipient so chooses, a delivery receipt will be sent to the email address in the From property.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

EncryptData Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Whether to encrypt the MIME data.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

true

Remarks

If false, the data will be encoded but not encrypted. The default is true.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

EncryptingAlgorithm Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The algorithm to use for encryption.

Data Type

String

Default Value

"3DES"

Remarks

This property contains either the name of the algorithm (such as "RC2", "3DES", "DES", or "AES"), or an object identifier (OID) string representing the algorithm.

In the case of "RC2" ("RC2CBC") the key bit length is specified after the name. The following algorithm names are supported for RC2: "RC2CBC40", "RC2CBC64", and "RC2CBC128", with the default being 128 bit ("RC2CBC128").

In the case of "AES" ("AESCBC") the key bit length is specified after the name. The following algorithm names are supported for AES: "AESCBC128", "AESCBC192", and "AESCBC256", with the default being 128 bit ("AESCBC128").

When read, the value of the property always contains the OID of the algorithm, or an empty string if the algorithm is unknown.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

ErrorThreshold Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The maximum number of errors before the component shuts down.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

5

Remarks

This property limits the number of errors that the adapter can incur before it shuts down and stops processing messages.

NOTE: To include the chain, the IncludeCertificate property must also be set to true.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

IncludeHeaders Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Instructs the component to include or ignore message headers.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

If IncludeHeaders is set to True, the adapter will include any headers retrieved from the server in the message. This is useful for PassThrough configurations and for orchestrations that use MIME decoding message pipelines.

Note: regardless of the value of this property, there will be a "MessageHeaders" message context property that contains a string with the full RFC-822 encoded original headers as retrieved from the server. This is useful for situations where it is necessary to find specific mail headers.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MailFolder Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Name of the mailbox selected on the server.

Data Type

String

Default Value

This property is not available in the Sender.

MaxBatchSize Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The maximum size, in MB, of the current batch (0 indicates no limit).

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property limits the maximum amount of data the adapter can store before finalizing and processing the current batch to the number of bytes indicated.

Note: the default value, "0" indicates that there is no limit on the size of the batch. This value is not recommended for production environments as it may result in extremely large batches being held in memory before the adapter moves the data to the next stage of processing.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MaxFileCount Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The maximum number of files in the current batch (0 indicates no limit).

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

10

Remarks

This property places a limit on the number of files that can be transmitted in a single batch.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MaxFileSize Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The maximum size, in MB, of a file in the current batch (0 indicates no limit).

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property limits the maximum size of any file in the current transmission batch to the number of bytes indicated.

Note: the default value, "0" indicates that there is no limit on the size of the batch. This value is not recommended for production environments as it may result in extremely large batches being held in memory before the adapter moves the data to the next stage of processing.

This property may be configured on the adapter's static handler property page in the BizTalk Server administration console.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MaxPersistentConnections Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The maximum number of simultaneous persistent connections when sending.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

1

Remarks

This setting specifies the maximum number of simultaneous persistent connections when sending.

The default value is 1, which limits the adapter to using one persistent connection for the adapter at any one time. This means when ConnectionLifetime is set to Persisted the send adapter will first check to see if an existing connection is present before transmitting data. In the case where a connection exists but another instance of the send port is using the connection the adapter will wait for the connection to become free. A value of 1 effectively serializes all communication for the send port through one persistent connection.

By setting a value greater than 1 a pool of persistent connections can be created. This allows multiple simultaneous persistent connections to be used. When the send adapter is active it will check to see if there are any existing connections. In the case where a connection exists but is being used by another instance of the send port it will attempt to create a new persistent connection. If creating a new persistent connection would exceed the limit specified in this setting the adapter will instead wait for a connection to become free. Setting this to a value greater than 1 allows multiple simultaneous connections to be made while still taking advantage of persistent connections to reduce the overhead of re-connecting.

Note: This only applies to the send adapter.

The default value is 1.

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.

MaxThreads Property (SMIMEEmail 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 (SMIMEEmail 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.

MessageCc Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

A comma separated list of addresses for carbon copies.

There are cases when a message may have more than one From address. If this is the case, the addresses are provided in the MessageFrom property separated by commas.

This property is not available in the Sender.

MessageHeaders Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Message headers associated with the current email message.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

In the Send Adapter, this property applies to outgoing messages. Normally, the Email adapter will generate a set of headers to be transferred to the server along with the current mail message. However, this set of headers can be modified at runtime by writing to the MessageHeaders context property of the current BizTalk message. Several headers may be supplied as one string, with each header value terminated by a carriage return and new line ("\r\n", or VBCrLf) in accordance with RFC 822 format, but need not be folded.

Note: If any headers are supplied that would normally be generated by the adapter, the adapter will use the values specified.

In the Receive Adapter, this property will contain the headers of the message that was retrieved from the server.

MessageHTML Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The HTML text of the message.

Data Type

String

Default Value

Other Property (SMIMEEmail 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

Password Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

A password for login.

Data Type

Password

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the Password property is set to a non-empty string, then when connecting to the mail server an AUTH or CRAM-MD5 (depending on the value of AuthMode) command is sent in order to provide authentication information for the user.

PersistentConnection Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Instructs the component whether to keep the connection to the server open.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

If set to true, the adapter will first attempt to use an existing connection. If no such connection exists, it will create a new connection. When the adapter completes, it will persist the connection so that the adapter will reuse it during the next polling interval. Setting this property to true can improve performance if you are polling very frequently.

PollingInterval Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The amount of time, in seconds, between download attempts.

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

60

Remarks

The adapter will wait for the number of seconds indicated before attempting another download.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

RecipientCert Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The certificate used to encrypt the MIME data.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

The adapter uses the recipient's certificate to encrypt the MIME data so that it can be decrypted once it reaches the recipient. This property should be set to the appropriate certificate for encryption.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

ReplyTo Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

A mail address to reply to (optional).

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the ReplyTo property contains a non-empty string, a Reply-To SMTP header is created for the message. This header shows the address to use for replies (useful if this address is different from the one in From).

This property is not available in the Receiver.

RequeueEndpoints Property (SMIMEEmail 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.

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.

RequireEncryption Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Whether an error should be thrown if a received message is not encrypted.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default, if the adapter receives a message that is not encrypted it will skip the decryption step and continue processing the message. If RequireEncryption is set to true, an error will be thrown if a received message is not encrypted.

This property is not available in the Sender.

RequireOAEP Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Whether an error should be thrown if OAEP was not used to encrypt the incoming message.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default, the adapter will silently support decrypting messages regardless of whether they were encrypted with Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP). If OAEP should be required, and thus an error should be thrown if OAEP is not detected, set this property to true.

This property is not available in the Sender.

RequirePSS Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Whether an error should be thrown if RSA-PSS was not used to encrypt the incoming message.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default, the adapter will silently support decrypting and verifying messages regardless of whether they were signed with RSA Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSA-PSS). If RSA-PSS should be required, and thus an error should be thrown if RSA-PSS is not detected, set this property to true.

This property is not available in the Sender.

RequireSignature Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Whether an error should be thrown if a received message is not signed.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default, if the adapter receives an unsigned message it will skip the signature verification step and continue processing the message. If RequireSignature is set to true, an error will be thrown if the received message is not signed.

This property is not available in the Sender.

RolloverCertificate Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The rollover decryption certificate.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

The rollover digital certificate that the adapter will use to decrypt incoming messages.

• sha1
• md5
• sha-256 (default)
• sha-384
• sha-512
• sha-224

When read, the value of the property always contains the OID of the algorithm, or an empty string if the algorithm is unknown.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

SMTPMessageId Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The id of the mail message (optional).

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is used to specify the value of the SMTP MessageId header in the outgoing message. When this property is not set, the adapter will automatically calculate the MessageId. It is recommended that this property be left blank to allow the adapter to automatically create the MessageId value unless there is a specific need to define this value.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

SMTPPort Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The server port for SMTP (default 25).

Data Type

Integer

Default Value

25

Remarks

A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required for the connection to take place. The property must be set before a connection is established by the adapter

For implicit SSL, use port 465 (please refer to the SSLStartMode property for more information).

This property is not available in the Receiver.

SMTPServer Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The name or address of a mail server (mail relay).

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The SMTPServer property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name for a mail relay through which messages will be routed.

The current version of the adapter does not provide a default value for the mail relay. You must provide a host name yourself. Generally, any internet host with an SMTP server will suffice (a UNIX host for example), but it is preferable to select an SMTPServer that is close to the machine sending mail.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

SSLAcceptServerCert Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Instructs the component to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the adapter will normally terminate the connection with an error. You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.

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.

Note: You may also set the Accept Any field to Yes without opening the certificate selection dialog to force the adapter to unilaterally authenticate any server during the security handshake. It is strongly recommended that you use this only for testing purposes. Set the LogMode to Info to cause the adapter to report the server's credentials to Location.

SSLCert Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The certificate to use for client authentication during the SSL handshake.

Data Type

Certificate

Remarks

This property is used to assign a specific certificate for SSL client authentication.

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.

SSLStartMode Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Determines how the component starts the SSL negotiation.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

Automatic (0)
Implicit (1)
Explicit (2)

This property is not available in the Receiver.

TempPath Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

The path to which temporary files are written at runtime.

Data Type

String

Default Value

""

Remarks

If you are planning on working with binary files or large files, it is recommended that you set a valid path for this property. When set to a valid path this property tells the adapter to use temp files when performing operations. If this is not set, all operations are done in memory and require that all input and output is in ASCII.

This property accepts the "%TEMP%" macro, which will be replaced with the default system temporary directory at runtime.

Timeout Property (SMIMEEmail 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).

TransmitBatchMode Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

How the transmitter processes batches.

Data Type

Enumeration

Possible Values

Parallel (0)

Remarks

By default, the adapter will use PKCS1 when encrypting the message. To use Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) instead, set this property to true.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

UsePSS Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

Whether to use RSA-PSS when signing.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

false

Remarks

To use RSA Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSA-PSS) when signing, set this property to true. Note that the certificate used to sign does not itself need to be signed with RSA-PSS; any valid RSA certificate may be used with this setting.

This property is not available in the Receiver.

User Property (SMIMEEmail Adapter)

A user id for login.

Data Type
