EncodeSMIME

The EncodeSMIME component, which usually appears in the Digitally Sign Stage or the Encrypt Stage of a Commerce Interchange Transmit pipeline, encapsulates the business data object in S/MIME (secure MIME) format for transmission in e-mail using an SMTP mail server. The EncodeSMIME component encodes the object using IETF EDIINT draft Internet standard encoding, and then writes it back into the Transport Dictionary.

• Operation. Specifies the type of operation that the component will perform on the business data object.
  • Plain Text. Specifies that the business data object is to be left as plain text.
  • Sign. Specifies that the business data object is to be digitally signed.
  • Encrypt. Specifies that the business data object is to be encrypted.
  • Sign and Encrypt. Specifies that the business data object is to be both digitally signed and encrypted.
• Character Set. Specifies the character set to be used to convert the body of the message.
• Signature Certificate. Specifies the signature certificate that is to be used to sign the object. This list displays the certificates currently installed on your computer.
• Encryption Certificate. Specifies the encryption certificate that is to be used to sign the object. This list displays the certificates currently installed on your computer.
• Signature Algorithm. Specifies the signature algorithm that is to be used to sign the object. This list displays the algorithms currently installed on your computer.
• Encryption Algorithm. Specifies the encryption algorithm that is to be used to sign the object. This list displays the algorithms currently installed on your computer.
• Read From Field. Specifies the name of the field on the Transport Dictionary from which the business data object is read.
• Write To Field. Specifies the name of the field on the Transport Dictionary to which the encoded data is written.

Every time EncodeSMIME executes, it rewrites a file named C:\EncodeSMIME.log containing a copy of the message being generated.

For more information on S/MIME, locate a copy of The S/MIME Version 2 Message Specification on the World Wide Web.

Note  In order for EncodeSMIME to properly support character set conversion, the corresponding Windows NT code page must be installed on the computer. For example, the US version of Windows NT installation does not include the Japanese code page (code page 932), which must be present to convert Unicode to iso-2022-jp. For information on installing a code page, see Knowledge Base article Q164948.
