Note

From SAP NetWeaver 7.4 Support Package 6, you can perform setup tasks for SAP Fiori by using task lists that SAP delivers. A task list groups configuration tasks logically and guides you through the necessary tasks.

For an overview of all task lists and tasks for SAP Fiori, see Configuration Using Task Lists.

The following task list applies for this step:

  • SAP_SAP2GATEWAY_TRUSTED_CONFIG

Recommendation

To ensure confidentiality and integrity of data, we recommend protecting HTTP connections by using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). For information about setting up communication encryption for SAP NetWeaver, see the following documentation:
