Adapters Running on the Adapter Engine (Java SE)

User Administration

The Plain J2SE Adapter Engine (Java SE) has a separate user and password management, which is not integrated into the overall SAP NetWeaver user administration. More information: Configuration .

It provides three user roles for interactive users:

• Adapter Engine administrator

  With this role, you administer the Adapter Engine. It includes the user administration itself.

• Adapter configurator

  With this role, you configure the individual adapters.

• Adapter user

  With this role, you can view the adapter configurations.

Additionally, there is a role for messaging, which has to be assigned to users that send messages to this Adapter Engine:

• HTTP server user

With respect to password management, you should always store passwords in the tokenized and obfuscated form as documented in Password Management .

Securing Communication

You should enable SSL for all HTTP-based communication to and from the Adapter Engine (Java SE):

• Communication to and from the Integration Server

• Communication to and from an external SOAP communication partner

If possible, you should also encrypt the communication to and from the JMS provider.

The Adapter Engine (Java SE) uses SSL for both communication line encryption and client and server authentication using certificates. A certificate store is available. More information: Certificate Management .

All configuration data for the Adapter Engine (Java SE) is maintained in flat property files.

The file for the engine administration data itself is located in the following directory:

<installation directory>/tech_adapter/BaseConfiguration

The file for the adapter configuration data is located in the following directory:
