Adding an AS2 service

Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) is a widely accepted protocol for carrying out business-to-business (B2B) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions. It comes with several built-in features for securing data. This includes data-in-motion encryption, digital certificates, digital signatures, and electronic receipts (known as Message Disposition Notifications or MDNs).

 

Note: JSCAPE SaaS supports AS2 Messages when using synchronous mode and HTTPS for inbound and outbound transfers.

 

To add an AS2 service, navigate to [Domain] > SERVICES > Listeners > Listeners, then click Add.

  • Check HTTPS (and not HTTP) if you only want to use HTTPS. An AS2 service running over HTTPS is protected by SSL/TLS.

     

  • Check both HTTP and HTTPS if you want users to connect using either AS2 over HTTP or AS2 over HTTPS.
