Java is not much different than any other languages. If you've written code before- it should make good sense. VBscript would not be my first choice to write something important, but use whatever you're good at. I'm sure everyone would appreciate you sharing your app - and others may have suggestions, or they may just add functions to it themselves. That's what makes open source software what it is - the community. A bunch of people work on it, and a bunch of people can benefit from it. Travis- -----Original Message----- From: ediaas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 2:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] Re: AS2 [Chris] I am currently challenging your statement: "It certainly would not be rocket science [...]". I am writing some VBScript code using the CAPICOM library for the cryptographic part. I am confident to reach some working prototype. I have looked at the DGI web site, but I did not find any "precise" information regarding their fee to participate in interoperability testing. Do you have more information? [Earl] I am sorry to say that I fully disagree with you, regarding freeas2.com! It is NOT free. More than that, it has this licensing scheme I hate, where you pay per partner. Yes, the "Single Partner License" costs $0, but look at the other ones, http://www.freeas2.com/order/default.aspx, it's not free :-( I have had a look at OpenAS2.org, and it looks much more interesting. But, I am not familiar with open source software and Java in particular, thus I will have to read carefully the install documentation. I will definitively use it to test my prototype. As a (former) Microsoft developer, I am writing my prototype with VBScript. I am wondering if some people would like me to share it, it will be "open source" by definition since it is scripting ;-) [Leo] Again, I am afraid this is NOT a genuine free product. On one hand, you have the commercial "mendelson AS2 server", and on the other hand, it seems that "m-e-c AS2" is a "light" (correct me if I am wrong here) version of it that you distribute as open source. I am not sure this is in line with the open source philosophy. For me, it sounds like you want "me" to start with "m-e-c AS2" thinking that it is free, an later paying your commercial "mendelson AS2 server". BTW, I have not seen any pricing information on the web site. [Joe] I started by visiting http://www.openssl.org/, and I ended at http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-0_9_8i.exe to get a Win32 compiled version of OpenSSL. I did install it (after the installation of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)" as specified). Then, from "C:\OpenSSL\bin" I ran the following commands (after creating the "C:\AS2\cert\" folder): 1. Generating a pair of keys of 1024 bytes: openssl genrsa -des3 -out "C:\AS2\cert\MyCompany.pair-of-keys.pem" 1024 2. Generate a self signed certificate file (.cer) to distribute the public key: openssl req -new -x509 -key "C:\AS2\cert\MyCompany.pair-of- keys.pem" -out "C:\AS2\cert\MyCompany.cer" -days 1095 3. Generate a .pfx (PKCS#12) file containing the private key: openssl pkcs12 -export -in "C:\AS2\cert\MyCompany.cer" -inkey "C:\AS2 \cert\MyCompany.pair-of-keys.pem" -out "C:\AS2\cert\MyCompany.pfx" Everything worked fine ;-) Of course, it is only after I would have fully tested my prototype that I will be fully sure of it!
