Procedure documentation Installing the SAP Cryptographic Library on the SAP Web Dispatcher Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

The SAP Cryptographic Library contains the security functions necessary for using the SSL protocol. Therefore, if the SAP Web Dispatcher is to terminate the SSL connection, then use the following procedure to install the library on the SAP Web Dispatcher.

Note

If the SAP Web Dispatcher passes the SSL connection to the application server in the backend, then it does need to possess its own security environment and you can skip these steps.

Prerequisites

You have obtained the SAP Cryptographic Library installation package.

Procedure

  1. Extract the contents of the SAP Cryptographic Library installation package.
  2. Copy the library file and the configuration tool sapgenpse.exe to a local directory, for example, the directory where the SAP Web Dispatcher is located. For this documentation, we will use the directory C:\Program Files\SAP\SAPWebDisp.
  1. Check the file permissions for the SAP Cryptographic Library. If, for example, you copied the library to its location using ftp on UNIX, then the file permissions may not be set correctly. Make sure that the user that runs the SAP Web Dispatcher is able to execute the library's functions.
  2. Create a sub-directory called sec and copy the ticket file to this directory. This is also the directory where the SAP Web Dispatcher’s PSEs and credentials are to be located.

Example

Location of the SAP Cryptographic Library

C:\Program Files\SAP\SAPWebDisp\sapcrypto.dll

Location of the Configuration Tool sapgenpse

C:\Program Files\SAP\SAPWebDisp\sapgenpse.exe

Location of the License Ticket

C:\Program Files\SAP\SAPWebDisp\sec\ticket

Result

The SAP Cryptographic Library is installed on the SAP Web Dispatcher.
