For more information, see AS2 Host - Additional Properties.

Note: The host's properties page shows the configured settings for each property area. To view all possible settings, click Edit.

AS2 Host Field

Description

General

Friendly Name

A name for the host. The name you specify appears in the MOVEit Automation user interface.

Description

Optional. Description of the host. This field is informational only, and does not affect the operation of the host.

Show only FIPS approved signing and encryption algorithms

Determines which options are listed in the Signing Algorithm and Encryption Algorithm fields in the My Organization and Partner sections.

My Organization

Organization Name

Name by which your organization is known, and identified within the file transfer process.

Signing Certificate

The TLS certificate used by your organization for message signing and decryption. Must be a full public/private certificate. The public portion of the certificate is given to the file transfer partner so that they can encrypt files to your organization and verify messages signed by your organization.

Signature Algorithm

The hash that is used for signing files. Supported algorithms: SHA1, MD5, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512.

MOVEit Transfer Host

The MOVEit Transfer host that receives AS2 messages from the partner.

Partner Organization

Partner Name

Name by which the partner is known, and identified within the file transfer process.

Certificate

The public portion of the TLS certificate used by the partner. This certificate is used to encrypt files to the partner and verify messages signed by the partner.

Encryption Algorithm

The symmetric encryption algorithm used for encrypting files. The algorithm must be agreed upon by both sides of the file transfer process. Supported algorithms are 3DES, DES, AES, AESCBC192, AESCBC256, and RC2. None disables encryption of files.

Compression Algorithm

The format used to automatically compress files. The format must be agreed upon by both sides of the file transfer process. The only supported format is ZLib. None disables the compression of files.

EDI Data Type

Tag that describes the format of the data. The tag is placed in the outbound message and applies to sending only. It does not affect the actual data bytes that are sent.

Options:

  • application/edi-x12 (default) Used in most cases.
  • application/octet-stream: More generic, preferred by some recipients.

Proxy Server

Proxy Type

Type of proxy server with which MOVEit Automation communicates to the Partner URL. Available proxy types: Default, Specific.

Note: The HTTP/S proxy is different to the firewall proxy setup. Consult your networking team to discuss which is appropriate.

Hostname/IP Address, Port

Hostname/IP address and TCP Port of the proxy server.

Username/Password

Username/password for MOVEit Automation to use to authenticate to the proxy server.

TLS Mode

Set the TLS mode by selecting one of the options: Auto, Always, Never, Tunnel.

Firewall

Firewall Type

Type of firewall, acting as a proxy, with which MOVEit Automation communicates to the Partner URL. Available firewall types: Tunnel, SOCKS4, SOCKS5. Default is None.

Hostname/IP Address, Port

Hostname/IP address and TCP Port of the firewall.

Username/Password

Username/password for MOVEit Automation to use to authenticate to the firewall.

Transport Settings

Partner URL

The partner's HTTP server URL to which MOVEit Automation posts AS2 messages.

Ignore TLS Certificate Errors

If selected: Problems with the partner HTTP server's TLS certificate are ignored. Examples: lack of trust, a name that does not match the host name.

Use HTTP Authentication

If selected: Use HTTP authentication with the specified username/password when sending files via this AS2 host.

Username/Password

Credentials for MOVEit Automation to use when attempting HTTP authentication.

Client Certificate

TLS client certificate to use when establishing a secure connection to the partner's HTTP server.
