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.

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.
