Overview

You can use this Snap to encrypt and sign S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) messages. It enables public encryption and signing of MIME data to verify a sender's identity. The SMIME Encoder Snap allows you to send encrypted email messages.

Snap Type

The SMIME Snap is a Transform-type Snap that transforms SMIME messages.

Prerequisites

None.

Limitations and Known Issues

None.

This Snap has, at most, one document output view. Each document contains a corresponding response in the form of JSON.

Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Asterisk ( * ): Indicates a mandatory field.
Suggestion icon (): Indicates a dynamically populated list based on the configuration.
Expression icon ( ): Indicates the value is an expression (if enabled) or static (if disabled). Learn more about Using Expressions in SnapLogic.
Add icon ( ): Indicates that you can add fields in the fieldset.
Remove icon ( ): Indicates that you can remove fields from the fieldset.
Upload icon ( ): Indicates that you can upload files.

Field Name	Field Type	Description

Field Name	Field Type	Description
Label* Default Value: SMIME Example: ELT RS Account	String	The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Sign Default Value: Deselected	Checkbox	Select this checkbox to enable the digital signing of the data
Signer Algorithm Default Value: sha1 Example: AES_256	String/Expression/Suggestion	A signer algorithm is the cryptographic algorithm used in digital signatures to generate and verify the integrity and authenticity of electronic documents or messages.
Encrypt	Checkbox	Select this checkbox to enable the encryption of the data.
Encrypt Algorithm* Default Value: 3des Example: AES_256	String/Expression/Suggestion	Specify the algorithm to encrypt the data.
Certificate Default Value: N/A Example: $853764$Certificate of Insurance - 6.cert	String/Expression	Specify the relative path of the X.509 certificate in the SLDB. You can upload the certificate to the SLDB by clicking . An X.509 certificate is a standard format for public key certificates that securely associates cryptographic key pairs with identities such as websites, individuals, or organizations. The X.509 certificate should be in any one of the following formats: cert: The certificate file is a public-key certificate following the x. 509 standard. pem: pem file is a container format that may include the public certificate or the entire certificate chain (private key, public key, root certificates): crt: The certificates may be encoded as binary DER or ASCII PEM.
Content Transfer Encoding Default Value: base64 Example: AES_256	String/Expression/Suggestion	Select the Content Transfer Encoding from the suggestions list. Content Transfer Encoding is a mechanism used in email communication and other protocols to encode the content of a message for transmission.
Headers	Checkbox	Select this checkbox if you want the Snap to write SMIME-generated headers to the output.
Snap Execution Default Value: Example: Validate & Execute	Dropdown	Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, it performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs complete execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
