Object documentation System PSE  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Definition

Personal security environment for the SAP System to use for digital signature functions.

Use

The SAP System uses its system PSE to create and verify digital signatures. However, it cannot use the system PSE for encrypting information.

Structure

The system PSE contains the system's security information including its public and private key pair and the corresponding certificate list.

Integration

The system PSE is created during the system's installation process and stored in the file $(DIR_INSTANCE)/sec/SAPSYS.pse. When creating the system PSE, the system creates a single PSE and distributes it to all of its application servers.
