Configuring SNC for Using the SAPCRYPTOLIB on the AS ABAP 

Use

To use the SAP Cryptographic Library (SAPCRYPTOLIB) for SNC, the AS ABAP must possess a public and private key pair that is stored in its SNC PSE. It must also be able to identify its communication partners using SNC. Use the procedure below to generate the key pair and configure the application server accordingly.

Prerequisites

·        The application server is an AS ABAP as of Release 6.20. If you are configuring an ABAP application server prior to Release 6.20, then use the configuration tool sapgenpse for the configuration. (See Configuring SNC for Using the SAPCRPYTOLIB Using SAPGENPSE.)

·        You know the SNC names of the application server's communication partners.

Procedure

...

       1.      Install the SAP Cryptographic Library on the application server.

       2.      Set the trust manager profile parameters .

       3.      Create the SNC PSE.

If you are using a single PSE for all server components, then you can:

·        Import an existing PSE from the file system to use as the SNC PSE instead of creating it on the application server.

·        Export the SNC PSE from the application server to use as the PSE on other server components.

       4.      If you are using individual PSEs, then exchange the security information between the AS ABAP its communication partners.

       5.      Perform any connection-specific configuration steps.

       6.      Set the SNC profile parameters and restart the application server.

Result

The application server is configured to use SNC with the SAP Cryptographic Library as the security product.
