FIX: BizTalk Uses Incorrect Object Identifier for Digest Algorithm on Signed Messages (820610)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002

SYMPTOMS

When BizTalk Server creates a digitally signed message, it may use a signing object identifier (also known as OID) instead of a digest object identifier for the SignedData.digestAlgorithm and the SignedData.signerInfo.digestAlgorithm. This behavior might cause problems for partners that use verification methods that require correct values for the SignedData.digestAlgorithm and the SignedData.signerInfo.digestAlgorithm.
