Learn how to update your Vault’s configuration to enable AS2 Connections.
About AS2 Connections
Vault Safety AS2 Connections are replacing Vault Safety Gateways. AS2 Connections provide significant technical improvements including Admin management of Internet Protocol (IP) lists, more concise outbound IP lists, and improved Certificate Management.
Complete the steps in the following sections to enable AS2 Connections in your Vault.
Note: Once you have enabled this feature in your Vault, we recommend replacing any Custom AS2 Gateways in your Vault with an equivalent Custom AS2 Connection. See Replace a Gateway Profile with an AS2 Connection for instructions on how to do this.
