1. Using the AS2 Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2
  2. Create an AS2 Adapter Connection
  3. Prerequisites for Creating a Connection

Prerequisites for Creating a Connection

Satisfy the following prerequisites specific to your environment to create a connection with the AS2 Adapter:

This information is required to create an AS2 Adapter connection on the Connections page. See Configure Connection Properties and Configure Connection Security.

Trading Partner Endpoint Prerequisites

  • Ensure that the trading partner's AS2 endpoint to use is reachable from Oracle Integration.

  • Know the URL of the trading partner endpoint at which to receive AS2 messages.

Certificate and Private Key Prerequisites

Ensure that the necessary certificates and private keys used for encryption, decryption, signature generation, and signature verification are uploaded. See Upload an SSL Certificate.

AS2 Advanced Policy Prerequisites

To use the AS2 Advanced Policy, know the following information based on what you plan to configure on the Connections page:
  • Asynchronous MDN username and password
  • AS2 decryption private key alias and key password
  • MDN signature private key alias and key password
  • Inbound AS2 sign verify certificate alias
  • Inbound MDN sign verify certificate alias
  • AS2 endpoint username and password
  • AS2 signature private key alias and password
  • Outbound AS2 encrypt certificate alias
  • Response MDN sign verify certificate alias

AS2 Basic Policy Prerequisites

To use the AS2 Basic Policy, know the following information based on what you plan to configure on the Connections page:
  • HTTP authentication username and password
  • Private key alias and password
  • Partner certificate alias

Two-Way SSL Connections in the Outbound Direction Prerequisites

If you want to use two-way SSL connections in the outbound direction, perform the following steps.

Note:

Two-way SSL connections in the inbound (trigger) direction are not supported.
  1. Generate a client certificate. The tasks are similar to what you perform for the REST Adapter or SOAP Adapter, except that the transport layer security (TLS) version is not needed. For an overview, see Create a Keystore File for a Two-Way, SSL-Based Integration in Using the REST Adapter with Oracle Integration Generation 2.
  2. Upload the certificate as an X.509 Identity. See Upload an SSL Certificate.
  3. Remember the key alias you use.
  4. Configure a two-way SSL connection. See Configure Connection Properties.
    The settings you configure on the Connections page are used at runtime by the AS2 Adapter to perform SSL client authentication for two types of outgoing messages:
    • An AS2 outbound business message.
    • An outgoing asynchronous MDN message sent in response to an inbound AS2 business message.
