The following are enhancements and revisions in Framework EDI (FREDI) version
5.6 from version 5.5.
Bug Fix
Certificate Signature Algorithm.
By default, FREDI signed test certificates using SHA-1
algorithm. The provision to override this default
setting was to specify the object identifier of the
algorithm in the property ediSecurities.Property(SecuritiesProp_CertSignAlgorithmOID).
However, an existing bug prevented the override from
changing the default setting, and the certificate
continued to be signed using SHA-1. This bug is
fixed in this build.
Verifying Detached Signatures. This
operation is required in AS2/AS3 to verify documents
signed by a sender. With previous builds, the
verification failed if signature algorithm other
than SHA-1 is used. This bug is fixed in this build.
Enhancements
eSecurityConsole.The
following features have been added:
The utility provides more options to customize the
creation of a test certificate (see Creating
a Test Certificate).
The utility has the ability to add a certificate to
the certificate store without having to create a
certificate file (see Adding
a Certificate).
Two additional methods were added to the ediSecurities
object.
Implementation Acknowledgment added.
FREDI now provides the ability to verify EDI document
correctness and report the result in an Implementation
Acknowledgment document as required for HIPAA
transactions. This feature is available only for
ASC/X12, and requires the Implementation Acknowledgment
Transaction Set (999), which is available through the
standard reference library or the standard exchange
format (SEF) files.
Customize MIC Default Value. The MIC
default value in the Message Disposition Notification (MDN)
can now be changed. Originally, the MIC is
calculated automatically and placed in the
Received-Content-MIC header before it is signed.
Manually changing the MIC affects the signature of the
MDN and the MDN would have to be re-signed. For
faster implementation use the
MailDocOpt_CalculateMdnMic or
MailDocProp_MdnMic_Default settings
instead.
Objects, Properties & Methods
Constants Added .
ediDocument. The following
options
have been added to control how FREDI should
display the output of a data element value in
order to satisfy minimum length requirements.
OptDocument_Output_ElmPadLeadingZeros
OptDocument_Output_ElmValueTrimRight
mailDocument. The following
properties and options
have been added to determine how to
automatically generate a MIC value in a Message
Disposition Notification (MDN).
