Limitations

To simplify configuration and provide an easy-to-use experience, certain configuration items are pre-configured or restricted to specific values.

Inbound AS2 uses message-level security and does not support HTTP Basic username-and-password authentication. AS2-To identifies your AS2 Identity, and AS2-From identifies the configured trading partner. These identifiers select the partnership; they do not replace encryption or the incoming-message signature validation configured for that partner.

When Files.com replies to inbound transmissions, the Message Disposition Notification (MDN) is signed using SHA-256.

When Files.com replies to inbound transmissions, MDN delivery is synchronous, so request synchronous receipt delivery in your trading partner's AS2 configuration. If your trading partner requires asynchronous MDN delivery, contact us.

For outbound transmissions, the encryption cipher used is aes-256-cbc and the signing algorithm used is SHA-256.

The file size limit for outgoing AS2 messages is 25MB. Most EDI payloads are smaller than this limit. If you require a higher limit for your outgoing AS2 transmissions, contact us.

Our AS2 implementation is not Drummond Certified. Let us know if you require this certification in order to use AS2.
