SNC PSE

The SNC PSE is the application server's PSE for securing communications using Secure Network Communications (SNC) when you use the SAP Cryptographic Library as the security product.

Use SNC to protect connections where the SAP protocols are used, for example, RFC and DIAG. With this release, the SAP Cryptographic Library is generally available (see SAP Note 1848999 Information published on SAP site ).

You can use the SAP Cryptograhic Library for client encryption as well. For more information, see the related link.

If you want to provide Single Sign-On, you must have a license for SAP NetWeaver Single Sign-On. For more information, see SAP Note 1808526 Information published on SAP site or the SAP NetWeaver Single Sign-On 2.0 starting page.

Use SSL to protect HTTP connections.

Structure

The SNC PSE contains the server's security information to use for securing the SNC connection. This information includes the server's public and private key and the corresponding certificate list.

Integration

When you create the SNC PSE, the system generates a single PSE for the system that is distributed to all of the application servers. The system stores the PSE in the file $(DIR_INSTANCE)/sec/SAPSNCS.pse.
