Configuring the Use of SSL on Development Configurations

Use

When you work with development configurations, the connection information is also defined in the development configurations themselves. You can use this feature to make the use of SSL compulsory.

Prerequisites

The SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and the AS Java on which the components of the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure run have been configured for using SSL. For information about how to do that, see Configuring the Use of SSL on the AS Java.

Procedure

When you create a track in the CMS, specify addresses with HTTPS for the following components:

●      Design Time Repository (DTR).

For example, https://host:port/dtr

●      Component Build Service (CBS).

For example, https://host:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc.CBS.WebUI/WebUI.

●      Change Management Service (CMS).

For example, https://host:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc~SL~CMS~WebUI/Cms.

●      Name Server.

For example, https://host:port/sld.

After you import the development configuration, the communication between the servers and the Developer Studio is encrypted. The usage of SSL is hidden from the user. Note that access times may increase due to the encryption and decryption of data.
