Configuring Secure Communication in Your Landscape via SSL

Use

The SAP Gateway host, AS ABAP, supports secure communication in your landscape using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. SSL protects transmissions using encryption. It works through a certificate that is retrieved from a certificate authority.

In your system landscape, configure the use of SSL as follows:

1. Use transaction STRUST in your SAP system to export the certificate, which you have saved as a file. At a later point in time, use transaction STRUST in the SAP Gateway host to import the certificate from the SAP system.

2. Use transaction STRUST in your SAP Gateway host to export the certificate, which you have saved as a file. At a later point in time import this certificate on the consumer server. Then use transaction STRUST in the SAP system to import the same certificate from the SAP Gateway host.

3. On the consumer host export the certificate, which you have saved as a file. At a later point in time use transaction STRUST in the SAP Gateway host to import the certificate from the consumer server.
