Field

Description

Encryption Algorithm

Used by the EDIINT Message service only if a payload type requiring encryption is selected. Identifies the encryption algorithm to be used. Required if Protocol value is anything other than None. Required.

Supported algorithms are:

• Triple DES 168 CBC with PKCS5 padding
• 56-bit DES CBC with PKCS5 padding
• 128-bit RC2 CBC with PKCS5 padding
• 40-bit RC2 CBC with PKCS5 padding

Signing Algorithm

This is the message digest algorithm used when computing signatures, if a payload type requiring a signature is selected. Required.

Valid values are:

• MD5
• SHA1

Note: We recommend that you do not use MD5 unless there is no other alternative in order to interoperate with an older application and you determine interoperating outweighs the security risk of using MD5. Use MD5 as less times as possible.

Signing Key Certificate

The key certificate for the encryption key of the identity, if available, that is used to encrypt the message when using SMIME. Required.

Note: This is also the private key the EDIINT Message service uses to sign messages it builds. To guarantee that messages are signed, you have to select a payload type in the packaging that incorporates signing.

You must have already checked the certificate in to Sterling B2B Integrator for it to be displayed in this list. The Configure Certificates link enables you to open a common window displaying all certificates list that you may use. This window is used to select multiple certificates for the purpose of seamless transition from one certificate to the other when its validity expires and to select the policy for this certificate. The default policy is Closest non-future Go Live Date or the only certificate in the list.

Signing User Certificate

This is a certificate from the trusted certificate store that you want to use to verify signed messages from the trading partner. You need to select a certificate if this profile is for a spoke and you expect the partner to sign messages.

Note: This is also a trusted certificate that the EDIINT Message service uses to verify signatures on messages it receives.
