There are several security and user administration functions available with SAP NetWeaver CE. These are divided into the categories shown below.

User Administration

More information: Identity Management for Application Server Java

Cryptographic Services

Cryptography is used with SAP NetWeaver for certain security functions such as:

·        Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

·        Secure Network Communications (SNC)

      Digital signatures and data encryption using Secure Store and Forward (SSF)

      Secure Storage

Tools and Tasks

To maintain the cyrptographic keys that are used for these functions, use the Keystore service on the AS Java.

Prerequisites

To use cryptography, you must first install the cryptographic software on the server. For digital signatures, encryption, and secure storage, the AS Java uses the SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit, which is provided during the installation. For SSL and SNC, you need to obtain the SAP Cryptographic Library, which is available on the SAP Service Marketplace.

More information: Deploying the SAP Cryptographic Software

Restrictions

The distribution of cryptographic software is subject to and controlled by German export regulations and is not available to all customers. In addition, the library may be subject to local regulations of your own country that may further restrict the import, use and (re-)export of cryptographic software. If you have any further questions on this issue, contact your local SAP subsidiary.

Tasks on Demand

The tasks involved include managing keystores, keystore views and certificates.
