| Verify Signed Payloads |
Select to ensure that when a signed payload is received, the signature matches the payload that was sent.
When you select this check box, you are prompted to select the trading partner's signing PGP key. The PGP key named in this field is the same as the outbound encryption PGP key. If you change this value here, it is also changed for the outbound encryption PGP key. See Endpoint Security. |
| Accept Encrypted Payloads |
Select to accept encrypted inbound payloads.
When you select this check box, you are prompted to select your decryption PGP key. The PGP key named in this field is the same as the outbound signing PGP key. If you change this value here, it is also changed for the outbound signing PGP key. See Endpoint Security

| Outbound |
|
| Sign |
Select this check box to sign messages sent from this Endpoint.
When you select Sign, you are prompted to select your signing PGP key. The PGP key named in this field is the same as the inbound decryption PGP key. If you change this value here, it is also changed for the inbound decryption PGP key. See Endpoint Security. |
| Encrypt |
Apply encryption to messages sent from this Endpoint.
When you select Encrypt, you are prompted to select the trading partner's encryption certificate. The PGP key named in this field is the same as the inbound signing PGP key. If you change this value here, it is also changed for the inbound signing PGP key. See Endpoint Security. |
| Compress |

| Encryption Algorithm |
The remote host receiving the message must be able to decrypt the message using the algorithm you choose. Choose the algorithm you want to use to encrypt messages from the following:
- DES
- 3DES
- AES/128
- AES/192
- AES/256
- CAST5
- TWOFISH
- BLOWFISH
|
| Compression Algorithm |
Choose the algorithm you want to use to compress messages. The remote host receiving the message must be able to compress the message using the algorithm you choose.
Choose either ZIP or ZLIB. |
| Connection |
|
| Connection Timeout |
The amount of time allowed for each read operation.
Valid rage is from 0 - n seconds.
0 indicates no timeout. Default value is 150 seconds. |
| Automatic Retries |
The number of retries that should be made during an attempt. An attempt consists of the number of transfer retries you specify. For example, if you specify 5 retries and 30 seconds, an attempt would consist of 5 retries occurring in the span of 30 seconds.
This setting applies to both sends and receives.
The minimum number of retries is 0 and the maximum is 5.
The time between retries can range from 0 to 120 seconds.
See Retrying Failed File Transfer Attempts.
|
| Extended Outbound Retries |
The period of time during which outbound retries are attempted after a failed send attempt and subsequent failed automatic retry. Retries will not be attempted after the end of the period specified.
This period starts when the first retry is attempted and ends after the value you specify elapses.
Minimum value is 15 minutes.
Maximum value is 3 days.
See Retrying Failed File Transfer Attempts.
|
| Concurrent Outbound Transfers |
Specify the maximum number of connections that can be transferring to this Endpoint at the same time.
