XI 3.0 using RNIF Adapter with HTTPS and Certificate

[Former Member]

Hi!

We plan to use the RosettaNet RNIF File Adapter to send RosettaNet Invoices to customers via HTTPS with Certificate Authentication on receiver's site.

Technical questions:

As far as I understood we need to install the SAP Cryptolib and we have to create and sign individual SSL client PSEs on our SAP WebAS(SAP WebAS as client) and

send them to the receiver.

1. Where do we have to install the SAP Cryptolib? In the Java Stack or in the ABAP Stack of XI or in both Stacks?

2. Where do we have to create the SSL client PSEs when using the RNIF Adapter? In the Java Stack or in the ABAP Stack or in both? And which PSE do we have to send to the receiver?

3. Do we also need Server Certificates for our XI system? And again for which Stack, Java or ABAP or both?

4. Where and in which store do we have to import the Certificate the receiver has sent us?

Thanx for any hints.

Regards,

Volker

Hi Volker,

RNIF adapters support the data communication standard – RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) defined by RosettaNet. This standard defines RNIF protocols version 1.1 and 2.0. The RNIF adapters 1.1 and 2.0 are based on these protocols.

The adapters change the XI message format to the required RosettaNet message format. The adapters also change the format of messages from partner systems to the XI system.

You use RNIF adapters to send messages between the Integration Server and a RosettaNet-compliant system.

For more information about RNIF you can also visit, www.rosettanet.org :

Please refer to the replay of following webinar on Know-how network calls that has live demo on how to configure the RNIF Adapter:

Since you are using RNIF Adapter your adapter will run on J2EE stack. So first you have to deploy SAP Cryptography toolkit on the J2EE Engine. You have to enable SSL Service in the SAP J2EE Engine. You configure by looking this urls:
