Use

To be able to communicate using SSL, the SAP Web Application Server must also possess the standard SSL client PSE. Therefore, repeat the procedure for the standard SSL client PSE.

Procedure

The procedure is similar to that for generating and maintaining SSL server PSEs. Exceptions are indicated as necessary.

Using the trust manager:

  1. Create the standard SSL client PSE.

    2. In this case, you specify the CN part of the Distinguished Name (default = system ID). You only create one PSE, which is then distributed to the rest of the application servers.

  2. Generate a certificate request for the standard SSL client PSE.

    3. Because the SSL client PSE is system-specific and not server-specific, you only need to create a single certificate request and import it once.

  3. Send the certificate request to a CA to be signed.
  4. Import the certificate request response into the server's standard SSL client PSE.
  5. Maintain the standard SSL client PSE's certificate list.

The SSL client PSE's certificate list is typically less restrictive than the list contained in the SSL server PSE.

Result

The SAP Web Application Server can use HTTPS connections to communicate with other Web servers.
