Testing the Connection for SSL Client Authentication (SAP Library

Testing the Connection for SSL Client Authentication

Use

Use this procedure to make sure that SSL support is set up correctly for connections where the SAP Web AS is the client component in the connection.

Prerequisites

The SSL client PSE exists.

The HTTP destination is set up to use SSL.

Procedure

Start the maintenance transaction for RFC destinations (SM59).

From the RFC destination tree, select the HTTP destination to test.

Details about the RFC destination appear.

Choose Test connection.

Result

If the connection was successful, then the SAP Web AS has connected to the target server using SSL. The identity it uses for the connection is the identity specified in the SSL client PSE that is entered in the destination.

If the connection failed, then deactivate SSL and test the connection again. If the connection still fails, then there is a problem with the network connection. Otherwise, check the SSL client PSE in the trust manager and if necessary, replace or redistribute the SSL client PSE.
