Create key vault and generate certificates and secrets
Application task

When you use the AS2 web app, you need a key vault to set up the secrets and certificates that are required to run the AS2 web app.

Create a key vault and generate these certificates and secrets in the key vault:

Certificate/Secret Description
Certificate for the AS2 web app

This certificate is used by the AS2 web app in the:

  • Outbound process to sign the data that is sent to the EDI partner.
  • Inbound process to decrypt the received data.

Download the certificate in CER format. The downloaded CER file contains the public key of the certificate. Send the CER file to the EDI partner. So, the EDI partner can use this key to:

  • Encrypt the data that is sent by the EDI partner to the AS2 web app.
  • Verify the data that is sent by the AS2 web app to the EDI partner.
Public key of your EDI partner, registered as secret

This secret (public key) is used by the AS2 web app in the:

  • Outbound process to encrypt the data that is sent to the EDI partner.
  • Inbound process to verify the received data.

Note: You receive this public key from your EDI partner in a CER file. Open the CER file with a text editor and copy the file content to Secret value field of the secret.
Access key of Azure storage account, registered as secret

In the AS2 inbound process, this secret is used by the AS2 web app to access the general storage location to store EDI message files.

Note: Usually, the general storage location is defined by an Azure Storage account. Copy the Storage account access key to the Secret value field of the secret. Usually, key1 is used.
