Procedure documentation Changing the authschemes.xml File  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can change the file, authschemes.xml, with the config tool of SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java. Download the file to a local directory, edit it, and upload the edited file as a new node in the configuration tree. This way you do not lose the original version of the file.
