2023/06/30 - AWS Transfer Family - 3 updated api methods
Changes Add outbound Basic authentication support to AS2 connectors
{'As2Config': {'BasicAuthSecretId': 'string'}}
Creates the connector, which captures the parameters for an outbound connection for the AS2 protocol. The connector is required for sending files to an externally hosted AS2 server. For more details about connectors, see Create AS2 connectors.

string
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the partner's AS2 endpoint.
dict
[REQUIRED]
A structure that contains the parameters for a connector object.
LocalProfileId (string) --
A unique identifier for the AS2 local profile.
PartnerProfileId (string) --
A unique identifier for the partner profile for the connector.
MessageSubject (string) --
Used as the Subject HTTP header attribute in AS2 messages that are being sent with the connector.
Compression (string) --
Specifies whether the AS2 file is compressed.
EncryptionAlgorithm (string) --
The algorithm that is used to encrypt the file.
SigningAlgorithm (string) --
The algorithm that is used to sign the AS2 messages sent with the connector.
MdnSigningAlgorithm (string) --
The signing algorithm for the MDN response.
MdnResponse (string) --
Used for outbound requests (from an Transfer Family server to a partner AS2 server) to determine whether the partner response for transfers is synchronous or asynchronous. Specify either of the following values:
SYNC: The system expects a synchronous MDN response, confirming that the file was transferred successfully (or not).
NONE: Specifies that no MDN response is required.
BasicAuthSecretId (string) --
Provides Basic authentication support to the AS2 Connectors API. To use Basic authentication, you must provide the name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a secret in Secrets Manager.
The default value for this parameter is null, which indicates that Basic authentication is not enabled for the connector.
If the connector should use Basic authentication, the secret needs to be in the following format:
{ "Username": "user-name", "Password": "user-password" }
Replace user-name and user-password with the credentials for the actual user that is being authenticated.
Note the following:
You are storing these credentials in Secrets Manager, not passing them directly into this API.
If you are using the API, SDKs, or CloudFormation to configure your connector, then you must create the secret before you can enable Basic authentication. However, if you are using the Amazon Web Services management console, you can have the system create the secret for you.
If you have previously enabled Basic authentication for a connector, you can disable it by using the UpdateConnector API call. For example, if you are using the CLI, you can run the following command to remove Basic authentication:
update-connector --connector-id my-connector-id --as2-config 'BasicAuthSecretId=""'
string
[REQUIRED]
With AS2, you can send files by calling StartFileTransfer and specifying the file paths in the request parameter, SendFilePaths. We use the file’s parent directory (for example, for --send-file-paths /bucket/dir/file.txt, parent directory is /bucket/dir/) to temporarily store a processed AS2 message file, store the MDN when we receive them from the partner, and write a final JSON file containing relevant metadata of the transmission. So, the AccessRole needs to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the file location used in the StartFileTransfer request. Additionally, you need to provide read and write access to the parent directory of the files that you intend to send with StartFileTransfer.
If you are using Basic authentication for your AS2 connector, the access role requires the secretsmanager:GetSecretValue permission for the secret. If the secret is encrypted using a customer-managed key instead of the Amazon Web Services managed key in Secrets Manager, then the role also needs the kms:Decrypt permission for that key.
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows a connector to turn on CloudWatch logging for Amazon S3 events. When set, you can view connector activity in your CloudWatch logs.
list
Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for connectors. Tags are metadata attached to connectors for any purpose.
(dict) --
Creates a key-value pair for a specific resource. Tags are metadata that you can use to search for and group a resource for various purposes. You can apply tags to servers, users, and roles. A tag key can take more than one value. For example, to group servers for accounting purposes, you might create a tag called Group and assign the values Research and Accounting to that group.
Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The name assigned to the tag that you create.
Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
Contains one or more values that you assigned to the key name you create.
