Many of the SNC configuration steps are included in Customizing. To access the SNC activities in Customizing, choose SAP NetWeaver Implementation Guide →Application Server → System Administration →Management of External Security Systems →Secure Network Communication. You can also access the structure with transaction SO70; the structure is SIMG_BCSNC.
Because the system needs to convert the SNC name into canonical form, which uses an SNC function, you should activate SNC on the application server before proceeding with the Customizing activities. However, as an alternative, you can continue without activating SNC and perform Check canonical SNC namesas the last activity. The individual activities are listed below and described in the following sections.
