Easy-to-use AS2 software - part I

[Dimitri]

Why this little blog?

For a while, I was looking for easy-to-use software to test the AS2 adapter, as part of the B2B add-on.

Now that I have found it and used it, I want to share it with the community.

Context

The software I recently downloaded and installed is Mendelson AS2 1.1 build 39.

The installation is very user-friendly and the configuration is really straight forward.

You can connect it to your SAP PI/PO machine in no time (http://<host>:<port>/AS2).

Also, the use of encryption and the MDN (Message Delivery Notification) is easy to configure.

Just one attention point

The keystores used by Mendelson are password protected using password ‘test’.

If you change that, please be aware that you need to edit the keystores manually (via Portecle for example) to put the new password in.

If you do not do that, you get this error PKCS12 key store mac invalid - wrong password or corrupted file.
