Logon with SSL Certificate

When you log on with a client certificate, you can use an X.509 certificate .

• The appropriate header field is set.

• The connection for HTTPS is configured.

• The SSL certificate exists

You can use a client certificate to check logons in two different ways:

• As part of the standard logon order or an alternative logon order (if selected)

• As the only logon check (if the SSL Certificate Required option is selected)

If you only want logons for services or services nodes to be performed with a client certificate, proceed as follows:

1. In transaction SICF, double-click the required service or service node.

2. Choose Change .

3. Choose Logon Data .

4. In the Logon Procedure field, enter the option Mandatory Using SSL Certificate .

   Note

   If you make settings in a service node, this data is passed on to all services under this node, unless different data has been entered for them.

5. Under Service Data/Security Requirements , select the SSL option.

6. Save your entries with Save .
