TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition
1.4.0
Description
When using BusinessConnect Container Edition to send AS2 and other signed transactions (such as RosettaNet), transactions may fail with an authentication-error or failed-to-authenticate message when connecting to certain trading partners, even though the host identity and certificate are correct.
This issue is caused by BCCE's standard use of the RFC 6211 CMS Algorithm Protection attribute to the SMIME envelope to outbound signed messages. Some older AS2/SMIME implementations can not handle this attribute, hence the error.
Issue/Introduction
Addressing authentication errors with BusinessConnect Container Edition when using signed messages with SMIME
Environment
all platforms
Resolution
Add the follow property to all IS docker images in the customized.properties file
com.tibco.security.smime.skipRFC6211=true
This will suppress the attribute from being added, and allow communication with these trading partners, Other trading partners should not be impacted, as the CMS Algorithm Protection attribute is an optional attribute.
