4   allowInsecureDecryptionWithSigningKeys: true
5});
6...
7// Add additional code

Config.allowMessagesWithoutIntegrityProtection

• Type: boolean
• Description: This property permits sending messages even if they lack integrity protection, which may be useful in certain scenarios.
• Error Handling: Similar to the previous property, attempting to modify it results in a READ_ONLY_PROPERTY error.

Code Sample:

1// Add additional code
2...
3const config = pgp.createConfig({
4   allowMessagesWithoutIntegrityProtection: true
5});
6...
7// Add additional code

Config.useRelaxedSignatureParsing

• Type: boolean
• Description: This configuration setting relaxes the strictness of signature parsing, potentially enhancing compatibility with various signature structures.

Conclusion

Understanding the properties within the Config object allows developers to effectively manage cryptographic operations within SuiteScript, ensuring that security protocols align with their specific application needs.
