Hi,

Yes, SNC can be implemented in this version. Please check SNC documentation as below.

SNC is for Diag .. TCP/IP Protocol (means processing of Requests by AS coming from SAP GUI of presentation layer. Encrypt data flow through SNC).

and SSL is for HTTP.. (user request coming from a Browser to AS).

Shahid,

I think you need to provide more details on what you are trying to acheive so that we can help you. Are you trying to encrypt communications between SAP systems, or between SAP GUI and SAP ABAP AS, or something else ?

Also just a small correction regarding the post from Dipanjan - SNC is not just for Diag since SNC is a layer that sits under many SAP protocols, including Diag but also including SAP RFC. This means that if you are using SAP RFC, you can secure the communications using the SNC interface. The SNC interface requires an SNC library which supports a cryptographic protocol.

Thanks,

Tim

For "How to enable SSL for WebAS ABAP" kindly refer to [SAP Note 510007|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/510007].

For SNC, [SAP note 352295|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/352295] and [SAP Note 66687|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/66687] are of interest.
