Security Settings for Receiver XI Adapter

If you have assigned the receiver agreement a communication channel with Adapter Type XI, you can specify settings for message security. In outbound processing, these security settings can be used to sign the address data and business data of a message. Technically speaking, the part of the SOAP header containing the address data (SAP main header) and the payloads of the message can be signed. This means that you can guarantee that the content of the message will not be modified without your knowledge during processing (data integrity).

Caution Caution

Note that the message protocol XI 3.0 must be selected in the assigned communication channel.

End of the caution.

Note Note

The security settings can be used for communication between two Integration Servers and for communication between an Integration Server and an Advanced Adapter Engine and an Advanced Adapter Engine Extended.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

The Message Security checkbox is selected in the corresponding communication channel.
