It worked great until yesterday. We’ve been sending and received EDI documents from our VAN (Sterling Commerce) for about 6 months. However, yesterday this service began to return a strange session ID. It contains alpha characters and a few ‘+’ (plus signs). When this occurs, any FTP commands we attempt later in the service fail because the session ID is invalid.
Has anyone had this problem?
The session ID should look like this:
209.95.224.133:21:SZM8LFTD:1312359842
However, what we’re now getting looks like this:
209.95.224.133:21:SZM8LFTD:7593V0KEgbABou3zVLXDJdmVo2RCSzs=5555243
An interesting point here is we can disable the VAN.ftp.login step and insert the WmPublic/pub.client.ftp:login and this ftp login returns the correct session key.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
