AS2 Mailbox: Certificates Tab

Use this tab to associate a trading partner's signing and encryption certificates with this mailbox and to override your own Local Listener's signing and encryption certificates, if necessary.

Acquire your trading partner's signing/encryption certificates and provide your trading partner with your signing/encryption certificates. See Acquiring your trading partner's signing and encryption certificates and Creating and providing your signing/encryption certificates.

If you do not specify a signing certificate, the VersaLex application uses all the certificates in its certificate store to determine if the signature of the incoming data message is trusted.
Use encryption certificate
Indicates that your trading partner uses the same certificate for signing and encryption, which is the general practice among most trading partners. When you select this check box, the Signing Certificate field is populated with the same certificate you selected in the Encryption Certificate field.

If the remote host is capable of receiving Certificate Exchange Messages (CEM) or you want to email your certificates to your trading partner, you can send your user and SSL certificates to the remote host by clicking Exchange Certificates.
