The AS2, AS3/FTP server
(Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader applications only),
and ebMS protocols require you to forward your Cleo Harmony, Cleo VLTrader, or Cleo LexiCom URL to your trading
partner.
Local Listener
If you have not already done so, configure your Local Listener. See Configuring the Local Listener.
Use the Local Listener Configuration Wizard configuration wizard (see
Using the wizard to create a host or mailbox) and follow the steps to specify the address and
ports.
Note: You can also use the Local Listener Configuration Wizard to create
signing/encryption certificates.
URL exchange
The method of URL exchange must be agreed upon with the trading partner. The mailbox
Notes tab may come preconfigured with specific information
concerning URL exchange with a particular trading partner.
The Email Profile utility automatically builds the URL. If you are not using the
utility, you must build the URL by hand.
Building an URL using the Email Profile Utility
If emailing, use the Email Profile utility. See
Emailing a profile to your trading partner.
Note: This utility is also used to send your signing/encryption
certificates.
Even if the utility is not used to forward your profile to your
trading partner, you can use the utility to capture the information locally.
Building an URL for AS2 and ebMS
AS2 and ebMS are HTTP protocols. An HTTP URL is of the form:
http(s)://your-host:httpport/your-resource-path where:
- http or https is specified depending on
whether you are using an HTTP or HTTP/s Port from the Configuring a Local Listener for HTTP.
-
your-host is the fully qualified name (recommended) or static,
external IP address of the VersaLex computer. For AS2, this is My
External Address in the Configuring AS2 Service.
Contact your systems administrator if you do not know your fully qualified name or
external IP address. You may also obtain your external IP address by accessing
http://www.cleo.com/whoami .
- httpport is the HTTP or HTTP/s Port in the Local
Listener: HTTP tab. See Configuring a Local Listener for HTTP.
Including :httpport in the URL is optional when the standard
port is used. Port 80 is the standard port for HTTP and port 443 is the standard
port for HTTP/s.
- If you are using Cleo VLProxy software (or a
third party reverse proxy), http or https,
your-host, and httpport depend on the
proxy settings.
- your-resource-path is the Resource Path in either the
AS2 Service: AS2 tab or the ebMS Service:
ebXML tab. See Configuring AS2 Service and Configuring ebXML Message Service.
Building an URL for AS3 and FTP
For AS3 server or FTP server are FTP protocols. An FTP URL is of the form:
ftp(s)://your-host:ftpport where:
- ftp is specified if using an FTP or FTP/s Explicit Port and
ftps is specified if using an FTP/s Implicit Port from the
Local Listener:
FTP tab .
- your-host is the fully qualified name (recommended) or static,
external IP address of the VersaLex
computer. Contact your systems administrator if you do not know your fully
qualified name or external IP address. You may also obtain your external IP
address by accessing http://www.cleo.com/whoami .
- ftpport is the FTP or FTP/s Port in the Local
Listener: FTP tab. See Configuring a Local Listener for FTP.
(Inclusion of :ftpport in the URL is optional when the standard
port is being used. Port 21 is the standard port for FTP and FTP/s Implicit and
port 990 is the standard port for FTP/s Explicit.)
- If using Cleo VLProxy (or
a third party reverse proxy), ftp or ftps,
your-host, and ftpport depend on the
proxy settings.
