Testing the Use of SNC (SAP Library - Pluggable Authentication Services for External Authentication)

Testing the Use of SNC

Use

Use this procedure to test the use of SNC for connections between the AGate and SAP system application server and the AGate and the WGate.

Note

If you are using the SAP Cryptographic Library as the security product for SNC, then you can use the ITS Administration tool to test SNC for the connection between the AGate and the application server. See Testing the Configuration Using the ITS Administration Tool.

Prerequisites

The security product to use for SNC is installed on each of the components.

SNC is activated on each of the components as follows:

Application server: snc/enable is set to 1.

AGate: ~sncnameR3 is specified in the AGate’s corresponding service file.

WGate (if used): SNCNameAGate is set in the WGate’s configuration file.

Procedure

Access an ITS service for which SNC is activated, for example, the webgui service:

http://<server>.<domain>:<port>/scripts/wgate/webgui/!

Result

If you are prompted for a user ID and password, then the connection could be established using SNC protection.

Otherwise, deactivate SNC and test the connection without using SNC.

Note

To deactivate SNC for the connection between the AGate and the application server, proceed the service file parameter ~sncNameR3 in the AGate’s service file with a number sign (#).

To deactivate SNC for the connection between the WGate and the AGate, remove the value for SNCNameAGate from the WGate’s configuration file.
