Configuring the User ADSUser for the SSL Connection 

Use

To ensure secure access, you must change the settings of the system user ADSUser, which is used for accessing the Adobe document services.

Prerequisites

●     The security role ADSCaller was created in the J2EE Engine during the initial installation.

 

You should not assign this security role to users other than the system user that you will use for accessing Adobe document services.

You can see this role in the Visual Administrator under Server <x> → Services → Security Provider → Runtime → Policy Configurations. Choose  com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices*AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar  in the Components  area to display the role in the Security Roles tab.

●     ADSUser was created during the initial installation of SAP NetWeaver and is assigned to the security role ADSCaller.

ADSUser already exists in the J2EE Engine or in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP depending on the J2EE installation settings for the SAP User Management Engine (UME). It is in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP when the UME is configured against the ABAP backend. In this case, also a role ADSCallers was created in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and ADSUser was assigned to this role. The ADSCallers role in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP appears automatically as the ADSCallers group in the J2EE Engine.

●     The group ADSCallers in the J2EE Engine exists.

Procedure

You change the user settings in the J2EE Engine.

Dependent on your scenario you have to set up the SSL connection in the ABAP or in the Java Environment.
