This topic is intended as a quick reference of EFT specifications. The information is provided in detail in the applicable procedures.

Description |
The EFT service runs under a user account, which must have full administrative rights to the folder in which you install EFT. With administrative rights, the service can save all of your settings. If the service does not have administrative rights, you will lose settings and user accounts whenever you restart the EFT service, and you will need to reset permissions on the computer on which the EFT service is running. If you are using Active Directory, there are other considerations regarding permissions. |
|
FTP/S (SSL/TLS), SFTP (SSH2), HTTP/S, and AS2 (Certain protocols require optional modules and/or EFT Enterprise.) |
|
W3C, Microsoft IIS, and NCSA |
|
Key lengths supported: 1024, 2048, 3072, and 4096 bits |
|
x.509 base-64 standard DER encoded |
|
Allowed OpenSSL ciphers for inbound transfers (HTTPS and FTPS) |
Refer to Using Ciphers for Inbound SSL Connections for details. |
TLS 1.0, SSL 2.0, or SSL 3.0
|
|
SFTP hashing algorithms supported |
MD2, MD4, MD5, Haval, RIPE-MD, SHA-1, SHA-Double, Tiger |
OpenPGP version |
OpenPGP is a standard and has no version. EFT adheres to the OpenPGP standard and is RFC 2440 compliant. |
EFT supports public key lengths for RSA in FIPS SSL from 1024 to 4096 bits. The FIPS library used by EFT is certified with DSA (1024 bits only) or RSA (1024, 2048, and 4096) keys. |
|
EFT facilitates compliance with PCI DSS 2.0. |
|
EFT supports SFTP versions 2, 3, 4, and 6. The outbound client defaults to version 4, and it is not configurable through the GUI, but can be configured in the registry. The EFT outbound client negotiates the SFTP version with the receiving server during session establishment. That is, if the receiving server only supports version 2, EFT Server will negotiate down and operate at version 2. |
|
EFT uses /n software's IP*Works EDI Engine, in compliance with RFC4130 |
Listed below are several EFT object types and the maximum number of each type (both theoretical maximum and tested maximum) that can be defined in EFT. Keep in mind that an excessive number of total objects displayed in the administration interface can affect the responsiveness of the interface.
