You can enable the mobile client for laptops to exchange data with the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE) over a secure channel, that is, HTTPS. In the client, you must configure HTTPS as the synchronization protocol, and you also must download the security certificate of the system in which the DOE is installed to the client.
The security certificate helps the client to recognize the DOE as a trusted system and thereby enables data exchange through HTTPS.
More information: Configuring Synchronization Settings
You can obtain the port number either from your administrator or by accessing the DOE. You can access the DOE only if you have the required authorizations.

In this procedure, you have to execute the keytool command that is available in the JDK.
You can install JDK 1.5.0 from www.java.sun.com → Downloads → Java SE
For example, https://doe102.wdf.sap.corp:44123/
A Security Alert window appears.
The Certificate Export Wizard appears.
For example, if the system name is ACP, you must enter ACP.cer as the certificate name.
By default, the client is installed in the location:…\Program Files\SAP\SAP NetWeaver Mobile Client.
If you have exported the certificate, ACP.cer, to the C: root folder you must enter the following command:
keytool -import -alias ACP.cer -file C:\ACP.cer -keystore truststore -storepass access
The system prompts you to trust this certificate.
The certificate is exported to the mobile client for laptops folder. You can now synchronize with the DOE using the HTTPS protocol.
