Configuring SNC 

All of the PAS options require that you use SNC between the AGate and the ticket-issuing application server. In addition, if the user authentication takes place on the Web server and you have a dual host ITS installation, then we also recommend using SNC for the connection between the WGate and the AGate. This protects the user information from being eavesdropped, stolen or manipulated by someone for the complete path between the authentication point and the backend system. We also recommend using SNC for the connections to systems that accept logon tickets.

For connections that use the HTTP protocol, for example, connections to an SAP Web Application Server, use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol instead of SNC. In this case, see the component’s documentation for the SSL configuration.

To configure SNC for each of the components see the following topics:

·        Configuring SNC on the Application Server
