Create AS2 profiles

This topic discusses how to create profiles for use in the AS2 process. A local profile defines the local (AS2-enabled Transfer Family server) organization or "party." Similarly, a partner profile defines the remote partner organization, external to Transfer Family.

1. Import AS2 certificates

2. Create AS2 profiles

3. Create an AS2 server

4. Create an AS2 agreement

5. Configure AS2 connectors

Use this procedure to create both local and partner profiles. This procedure explains how to create AS2 profiles by using the Transfer Family console. If you want to use the AWS CLI instead, see Step 3: Create profiles for you and your trading partner.

To create an AS2 profile

1. Open the AWS Transfer Family console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/transfer/.

2. In the left navigation pane, under AS2 Trading Partners, choose Profiles, then choose Create profile.

3. In the Profile configuration section, enter the AS2 ID for the profile. This value is used for the AS2 protocol-specific HTTP headers as2-from and as2-to to identify the trading partnership, which determines the certificates to use, and so on.

4. In the Profile type section, choose Local profile or Partner profile.

5. In the Certificates section, choose one or more certificates from the dropdown menu.

   Tip: If you want to import a certificate that is not listed in the dropdown menu, select Import a new Certificate. This opens a new browser window at the Import certificate screen. For the procedure about importing certificates see Import AS2 certificates.

6. (Optional) In the Tags section, specify one or more key-value pairs to help identify this profile.

7. Choose Create profile to complete the process and save the new profile.
