Testing the Connection for SSL Server AuthenticationLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

1) The SSL server PSE exists.

2) You know the port number that the AS ABAP is using for HTTPS connections. (See Making Sure the SSL Port is Set up Correctly.)

Context

Use this procedure to make sure that SSL support is set up correctly for connections where the AS ABAP is the server component in the connection.

Procedure


  1. Start a Business Server Page (BSP) using an HTTPS connection and the SSL port.

    Note

    For example, start the standard BSP test application IT00 with the URL https://host123.mycompany.com:443/sap/bc/bsp/sap/it00/default.htm.

    If your Web browser cannot completely verify the AS ABAP's server certificate, then you receive a dialog that states the reason why. For example, if your Web browser does not possess the issuing CA's root certificate as a trusted root certificate, then you are informed and have the chance to trust the server at this time.

  2. If you trust the server's certificate (either automatically or manually), then the next step is to authenticate yourself. If you have also set up the AS ABAP for using client certificates (see Using X.509 Client Certificates), then you can also use a public-key certificate for authentication. Otherwise, you are prompted for user ID and password.

    After you have authenticated yourself, the BSP appears.

Results

You are connected to the AS ABAP using SSL, which is indicated in your Web browser. For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays a lock in the lower right corner of the Web browser.
