EANCOMAUTACK Variables
The EANCOMAUTACK variables indicate the configurations necessary for generating a secure Authentication and Acknowledgement (AUTACK) message.
Use the following EANCOMAUTACK variables to configure the settings for generating or processing the AUTACK messages:
EANCOMAUTACK/autoGenerateAUTACK EDITPA Variable
Default: off
The EANCOMAUTACK/autoGenerateAUTACK variable indicates whether the AUTACK message containing the digital signatures are generated automatically.
Value
Description
on
Always generates the AUTACK message automatically.
Off
Never generates the AUTACK message automatically.
EANCOMAUTACK/processInboundAUTACK EDITPA Variable
Default: off
The EANCOMAUTACK/processInboundAUTACK variable indicates whether the AUTACK message containing the digital signatures are processed automatically.
Value
Description
on
Always processes the inbound AUTACK message automatically.
Off
Never processes the inbound AUTACK message automatically.
EANCOMAUTACK/configuration EDITPA Variable
Default: (no default)
The EANCOMAUTACK/configuration variables define the configuration settings required to generate the AUTACK message.
EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/signingScope EDITPA Variable
Default: Interchange
The EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/signingScope variable allows you to sign an entire Interchange or Envelope, an entire Group, or each Transaction individually.
Value
Description
Interchange
Signs data from the UNB through UNZ segments, excluding the UNA segment.
Group
Signs data from the UNG through UNE segments.
Transaction
Signs data from the UNH through UNT segments.
EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/digestAlgorithm EDITPA Variable
Default: SHA1
The EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/digestAlgorithm variable indicates the type of hash algorithm used for generating hash before signing the AUTACK message.
Value
Description
SHA1
Generates 160-bit hash using the SHA1 algorithm.
MD5
Generates 128-bit hash using the MD5 algorithm.
RIPEMD160
Generates 160-bit hash using the RIPEMD160 algorithm.
EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/paddingAlgorithm EDITPA Variable
Default: ISO9796-2
The EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/paddingAlgorithm variable indicates the type of key algorithm that checks the robustness of the digital signature generated by the AUTACK message.
Value
Description
ISO9796-2
Uses ISO9796-2 padding algorithm before signing the AUTACK message.
EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/signingAlgorithm EDITPA Variable
Default: RSA
The EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/signingAlgorithm variable indicates the type of signing algorithm for generating the digital signature.
Value
Description
RSA
Generates the digital signatures using the RSA algorithm.
EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/filteringAlgorithm EDITPA Variable
Default: Hexadecimal
The EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/filteringAlgorithm variable indicates the type of filtering algorithm that converts digital signatures from a binary value to a string.
Value
Description
Hexadecimal
Converts an 8-bit binary value into a hexadecimal string of two characters.
EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/characterSetEncoding EDITPA Variable
Default: ASCII
The EANCOMAUTACK/configuration/characterSetEncoding variable identifies the type of character set in which the EANCOM structure is encoded when security algorithms are applied to the generated the digital signature.
Value
Description
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (7-bit ASCII standard).
ISO8859-1
ISO/IEC 8859 series of the 8-bit ASCII standard.
ISO8859-15
ISO/IEC 8859 series of the 8-bit ASCII standard.
Cp850
Encoding schema defined by the code page.
Cp500
Encoding schema defined by the EBCDIC code page.
Note: 
Ensure that you perform the following configurations
*To generate or process the AUTACK message, configure the Sign/Verify certificate in the partner profile. Also, ensure that you install the EANCOM 1 AUTACK document type to generate the AUTACK message. For more information, see Defining TN EDI Document Types.
*Set EDIDisableCONTRLVersion = true to enable the recognition of the AUTACK message in Trading Networks.
*If you use the EDI Batch attribute for an EANCOM document with autoGenerateAUTACK = on, then you should also set the extended criteria, EDI Outbound FA to true in the corresponding processing rule of the EDI Batch attribute. For more information, see Defining Processing Rules to Batch EDI Documents.
