Use

After installing SSF, you can use reports SSF01 and SSF02 to make sure that the security product has been installed correctly. Use SSF01 to test the frontend installation and SSF02 to test the installation on the application server.

Procedure

  1. Call transaction SE38.
  2. To test the SSF installation on the front ends, enter SSF01 in the Program field; to test SSF on the application server, enter SSF02 .
  3. Choose Program → Execute → Direct.

    4. The system displays a selection field of possible functions that you can test.

  4. Select the Version function.
  5. If you want to test the version for a specific security product, enter the product's name (as specified in the profile parameter ssf<x>/name ) in the field Security product in the Further options group.

    6. Note

    The other options and fields are not relevant for this test.

  6. Choose Program → Execute.

The system displays the results of the test. If the test was successful, the system displays the return code SSF_API_OK and version information about the security product. On the front end, it also displays the version of the SSF RFC server program. If the system encountered an error, it displays the error information.

Note

If you use the SAPSECULIB as the security provider, then the test on the front end (report SSF01) will produce an error code. (SAPSECULIB is only installed on the application server.)

The following return codes are possible:
