Maintaining User SSF InformationLocate this document in the navigation structure

To enable front ends to sign and encrypt documents, maintain the SSF data for the user.

Prerequisites

  • The security product has been installed and SSF has been configured on the application server.

  • You have defined the location of the SSF RFC server program ssfrfc as the RFC destination SAP_SSFATGUI in Configuration of RFC Connections (transaction SM59).

Context

The user SSF information is included in the standard user address information.

Procedure

  1. Start one of the user address maintenance transactions.

    To maintain the user SSF information, use the appropriate transaction as shown in the following table:

    Table 1: Maintenance Transactions for User Address Information

    Note

    You can only maintain those fields that are available in the specific maintenance transaction. (See the Available with Transaction column in the table above.) The applications only display the relevant fields. For example, the office administrator, who uses transaction SO12, cannot change the individual SSF profile for a user.
