TIBCO BusinessConnect
7.4.0
Description
After upgrading to BusinessConnect 7.4.0, AS2 and other signed transactions (such as RosettaNet) that previous worked with trading partners now fail with an authentication-error or failed-to-authenticate message.
This issue is caused by a change in the underlying Tibcrypt library, which now adds an RFC 6211 CMS Algorithm Protection attribute to the SMIME envelope to outbound signed messages. Some older AS2 implementation can not handle this attribute, hence the error.
Environment
all platforms
Resolution
Add the follow property to all BC deployed interior server tra files:
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.
