AS2 Connector

Description

AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is typically used between organisations to exchange business data in any format securely. The exchange of business data for the purposes of purchasing goods and services is commonly referred to as B2B. Traditionally, B2B was done over VANs (i.e., Value-added Networks) that were secure and reliable however also expensive. The Internet provided a cheaper option. Yet HTTP and HTTPs are not sufficiently secure. AS2 solves the problem. The AS2 Connector allows you send data over AS2 on top of HTTP or HTTPs.
The AS2 Connector relies on S/MIME to offer encryption and signing capabilities protecting the document throughout its entire journey across the network from unauthorized recipients and tampering. Moreover, digital signatures give confidence to the recipient that the sender is really who it claims to be. Enabling AS2 Connector’s full set of security features, can help provide non-repudiation of origin and receipt reducing or eliminating disagreements between you and your business partners.
In addition to the above, the AS2 Connector provides asynchronous and compression features reducing the risks of HTTP response timeouts and allow receivers to process documents at their own pace.
This connector is part of Anypoint B2B. Anypoint B2B enables customers to connect to trading partners using EDI over AS/2, FTP and other protocols using Mule.

  1. Hi Ishan,

    Gasping at your brilliance! Thanks a tonne for sharing all that content. Can’t stop reading. Honestly!

    User management and provisioning have always been tedious and time-consuming tasks for IT professionals. If you’ve seen any of my blog posts before, you’ll know that there are two things I like: exposés in the form of parentheses and removing tedious manual work.
    Naturally, this meant I ended up trying to solve user management. One of the first questions I asked when I started addressing this problem was: why hasn’t this been solved yet?

    I read multiple articles
    and watched many videos about how to use this tool - and was still confused! Your instructions were easy to understand and made the process simple.

    Thanks,
    Irene Hynes

  2. .Hi Mate,


    Allow me to show my gratitude bloggers. You guys are like unicorns. Never seen but always spreading magic. Your content is yummy. So satisfied.

    When I was growing up, I loved playing the classic 1993 game DOOM. This is why recently, as part of a talk I gave at APIs and IPAs, I decided to do a demo of how I embedded a RESTful API into DOOM, allowing the game to be queried and controlled using HTTP and JSON.
    I wrote the entire API specification for the project in RAML––a RESTful API Modeling Language based on YAML that allows you to create standardized,





    Very useful post !everyone should learn and use it during their learning path.
