SSF Administration Tasks 

There are certain administration tasks involved when using the SSF functions. For example, if you use SAP NetWeaver Single Sign-On or an external security product, you need to install the product on all of the components where the SSF information is needed. You also need to maintain the users who are to use the digital signatures and digital envelopes.

The topics in this section describe the administrative tasks involved with using SSF in SAP Systems. Administrative and maintenance tasks that apply to the SAPSECULIB are also included. For information about tasks that apply to an external security product, see the security product's documentation.

See the following:

·        For the standard installation tasks when using SAP NetWeaver Single Sign-On an external security product, see the topics under Using SSF with an External Security Product:

·        If you have maintained user SSF information in Release 4.0 or 4.5 and have upgraded to a later release, see the section Upgrading User SSF Information from Release 4.0/4.5.

·        If you use different security products for different applications, see the sections Defining Default SSF Information for Applications and Maintaining Application-Specific Information.

·        If you use the default security provider SAPSECULIB (digital signatures only), you do not need to perform any installation and configuration tasks. For information about the SAPSECULIB, see the section Using the Default SSF Security Provider SAPSECULIB.
