The SAP Content Server is an enhancement of the employed Web server. The entire data transfer between the client and the Web server is processed through HTTP. It is the task of the Web server to provide the secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocol. Refer to the configuration instructions for the Web server. Usually HTTPS requires an appropriate port to be activated on the Web (443). If you want to use HTTPS, this must be set up in the Customizing transaction, OAC0, for the relevant repositories.

Provided the documents are stored in a database instance, the SAP Content Server uses the ODBC protocol to communicate with the database server.
