Configuration of Cloud Connector
Setting Up the Cloud Connector
This section shows the necessary configuration steps for setting up the Cloud Connector.
| Step | Configuration Activity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Start Cloud Connector |
Open the Cloud Connector and log on for the first time. |
| 2 | Define Subaccount |
Define subaccount and user data. A subaccount user is needed for establishing the connection between the SAP BTP subaccount and the Cloud Connector. |
| 3 | Mapping Virtual to Internal System |
In this step you define a virtual system that addresses the endpoint of the host for the cloud services running on the PCo installation. This service enables the communication between PCo and the Cloud Connector. |
| 4 | Add Accessible Resources | In this step you specify the resources that are accessible from the cloud. Additionally, you can specify the access authorizations for the resources of the endpoint, for example, authorization for creating a service provider. |
| 5 | Configure Trust in the Cloud Connector for PCo |
In this step you have to create and upload the certificate for the host for the cloud services.e. |
| 6 | Configure System Certificate |
In this step you configure the system certificate of the Cloud Connector (client certificate). In order that a secure connection can be established, the system certificate of the Cloud Connector needs to be trusted by PCo. |
| 7 | Configure Principal Propagation |
In this step you configure a certificate for principal propagation needed for checking user data. This certificate is sent when the Cloud Connector is calling PCo using HTTPS. It contains the e-mail address of the user. Principal propagation is not needed if you want to configure user groups for authorization management. (See also: Maintaining User Groups (in DMC)) |
| 8 | Cloud Connector System Certificate Trust | In order that a secure connection can be established, the system certificate of the Cloud Connector needs to be trusted by PCo. Depending on whether the system certificate is a self-signed certificate or a certificate signed by a certificate authority (CA), you proceed slightly differently. |
