Configuring Secure Communication with the WebStart Client

Use

Secure P4 is used for communication between the WebStart client and the ES Repository.

Access the ES Repository system properties as described under Additional Manual Configuration .
To enable secure P4, maintain the following properties:
- com.sap.aii.connect.rmi.protocol
  This property contains the protocol used for P4 communication. Possible values are P4 (default) and P4S (secure).
- com.sap.aii.connect.repository.rmiport.ssl
  This property contains the P4S port number of your AS Java host.
  
  Note
  
  It is a prerequisite that your AS Java is configured for SSL. More information: Configuring the Use of SSL on the AS Java .
If you are working in a high-availability environment, you must also maintain the following property:
- com.sap.aii.connect.repository.mshttpsport
  This property contains the HTTPS port number of your message server.
  
  Note
  
  It is a prerequisite that the message server of the SCS Instance is configured for SSL. More information:Metadata Exchange Using SSL (SAP Help Portal)
HTTPS is then used for the communication with the message server and secure P4 is used for the communication with the WebStart client.
