Configuring the Use of SSL on DTR

Use

To secure the connection between Design Time Repository (DTR) and SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio you have to set up SSL for their connection.

Prerequisites

  • You work in the Developer Studio.

  • The AS Java on which the DTR runs is configured for using SSL.

Procedure

For each DTR connection, you can specify whether you want communication to run with SSL. When you work with development configurations, the DTR connections are also defined in these configurations.

  1. Open the Design Time Repository perspective's Repository Browser.

  2. In the context menu of the root node, choose Create Client .

  3. In the dialog that appears, specify the required information about the DTR connection.

    In the DTR Server URL field, enter the URL of the repository to which you want to connect in the following format:

    https://<host>:<port>/dtr

    Make sure that you use the protocol ID https and not http. This ID indicates an HTTP connection with SSL. For information about how to find out the port number for the SSL connections, see AS Java Ports .

  4. Choose OK .

Result

Communications with this DTR are now encrypted. You can operate both secure and non-secure connections to different servers in parallel. The average access times may increase due to the encryption and decryption of data.
