The Trading Partner Management facility can hold the identity of a user authorized to submit or receive messages through the FTPD listener. This user is identified in the Protocol/FTPD section of the Partner Editor. For more information, see iWay Trading Manager User's Guide.
The following table lists and describes the fields you can specify in the agreement.
Field |
Description |
---|---|
User Name |
This is the login name of the user associated with this partner. If a simple name is used, this must be unique across the system, as the user name will be used to locate the appropriate trading partner. If the user logs in using a user id of <partner>:user, then uniqueness is not required as the partner is identified by the value preceding the colon. The partner identifier is formed by TPN(SREG('ftpd-user')). |
Password |
The password for the user. This can be a function reference such as LDAP(). |
Mailbox |
The mailbox assigned to this partner. This is a directory of the configured server root assigned to the listener. This is the users home location. |
Require Secure Authentication |
This partner requires that FTP control to and from this mailbox be done under secure authorization control as described in RFC 2228. |
Require Secure Transfer |
This partner requires that FTP transfers to/from this mailbox be done under secure channel conditions as described in RFC 2228. |
The agreements are referenced at user login. Therefore, they can be changed while the system is operational. Note that when security requirements for a partner differ from that of the listener itself, the higher security takes precedence. Therefore, although a listener may not require that all transfers take place in a secure manner, an agreement with a specific partner may be required.
