With an Oftp server Gateway in, Incoming messages are received on a Babelway specific OFTP server and processed as soon as they arrive.
The specific settings are:
Partner SSID
The OFTP ID provided by your partner.
Partner SFID
The SFID provided by your partner. If none has been provided, this is probably the same as SSID.
Partner password
The password of your partner. Provided by your partner.
My SSID
Babelway is providing an official Odette SSID : O01770000000000X0B5SHARED. Please call support if you want to use a different one.
My SFID
An SFID is automatically assigned to your Environment: O01770000000000X0B5xxxxxx. Please call support if you want to use a different one.
My password
The value of the password is 'BABELWAY'.
OFTP documentation
File containing instructions and certificates for the installation. You should download it and send it to your OFTP partner.
Use compression
Compresses the messages.
Secure Authentication
Use OFTP2 'Secure Authentication'. This will use the certificates defined for encryption and signature.
Sign messages
Sign outgoing messages using the key selected in "Signature certificate". This allows your partner to verify that you are the one sending the message. This option is only available with OFTP 2.0.
Signature certificate
Select signature certificate or go to certificates store. These certificates are also used for decrypting incomming messages. Multiple certificates for decryption are possible, but only first one in the list is used for signing. This option is only available with OFTP 2.0.
Encrypt messages
Encrypt outgoing messages using the certificate selected in "Encryption certificate". This allows your partner to be the only one able to decrypt the messages sent. This option is only available with OFTP 2.0.
Encryption certificate
Select encryption certificate or go to certificates store.
Encryption algorithm
Select encryption algorithm or go to certificates store.
Receive signed messages
This allows you to verify that your partner is the one sending the message using the certificate selected in "Signature verification certificate". This option is only available with OFTP 2.0.
Signature verification certificate
Select certificate for data or go to certificates store.
Request signed ack (EERP)
Requests that incoming acknowledgments are signed. The signature will be verified using the Certificate selected in "EERP verification certificate". This allows you to be sure that only the partner could have signed the incoming messages. This option is only available with OFTP 2.0.
EERP verification certificate
Select certificate for EERP or go to certificates store.
Transfer mode
Advanced. Once the connection is open the OFTP gateway will act as both sender and receiver by default. You can control this by setting the following values : BOTH / RECEIVER_ONLY / SENDER_ONLY
Version
Advanced. Babelway is supporting both OFTP1 and OFTP2. When a connection is open, Babelway uses the OFTP built-in mechanism to negotiate the protocol version. The protocol will be the highest possible. Valid values are : OFTP_V12 for version 1.2 / OFTP_V13 for version 1.3 / OFTP_V14 for version 1.4 / OFTP_V20 for version 2.0
Credit count
Advanced. Control the OFTP "creditCount" parameter. This is the number of data command ( = CREDIT) that could be exchanged prior to an OFTP confirmation from the partner. Default is 64
Data exchange buffer size
Advanced. Control the OFTP "dataExchangeBufferSize" parameter. This is the size of the OFTP data buffer. It should be smaller than the maxBDataLen for ISDN connection. The minimum is 128 bytes and the maximum is 4096 for ISDN and 65535 for TCP connections. Default is 1024.
After channel deployment, your Oftp server will be available to send messages. You can access this oftp server using any Oftp client software set up with the previous account settings.
If you require a custom SSID / SFID / PASSWORD, please send a request to support@babelway.com .
When a message is transferred to the Oftp server, it is processed immediately then the original file is removed from the server.
Note:
If there is a file name provided in the "Message In" or "Message Out" which contain ~ tilde character, All browser based on Chromium will replace the ~ tilde character by the _ underscore character when you try to download the file from the Babelway interface, For more details you can check this link https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=479419
The maximum file size accepted by this gateway is 100 MB.
