Error description

• The AS1 Protocol fails to sign the MDN.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The XB user who is adopting B2B Gateway service to receive B2B
  documents over AS1 with MDN requested by external partner.
  
  The pre-condition is that the B2B Gateway service processes an
  inbound message over AS1 (AS1 Frontside Handler) and the
  Business IDs are extracted by the Email From: and To: headers
  rather than the Subject header. If the message sender (ie., the
  external partner) requests for a signed MDN, an error of "Failed
  to sign MDN from business ID foo@bar" occurs because of
  inability to get the Identity Credential for signing the AS1
  MDN.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is available on 3.8.2.14, 4.0.1.12, 4.0.2.8 and 5.0.0.1.
  

Temporary fix
