if you want to use FTPS, then all you need to do is to install the Certificate in the Server (Trusted CAs) and then do the adapter configuration to enable FTPS

Hi Guys,

There is no visual admin in 7.1 right???

can we do it in NWA??? the creation of public private key and its export??

or just getting a certificate from SMP or verisign will do?

Hi Teja,

You need to do few configurations for using FTPs. Some of them are mentioned here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm

Once you are done you will create the certificate and then send to your CA and get them signed. Once they signed you can install them and use your comm channel.

You can simply use FTP as well. Among FTPS and SFTP, FTPS is the standard option available.

Correct.

Yes, we can.

Hi Ravindra,

what I understand is by default..in PI 7.1 we will have to use FTPs...am i right??

there is an option in channel configuration, 'connection security' where we can select FTPS(using SLS/TLS)

please refer sap help doc for more details

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/Helpdata/EN/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm

there is an option to choose : X.509 Certificate for Client Authentication

You will be asked for keystore and certificate and private key ,the corresponding

key/certificate pair must previously be saved in a keystore view of the J2EE server by

using the Visual Administrator.

please refer the following forum post for more information

Hi,

without any additionally 3th party adapter you will not be able to use SFTP.

In cases were we need SFTP, we save the messages to file system and transfer it to

the destination like described in blog. Alternativ you can buy an adapter that can do

SFTP directly.

I just read that you also needed the crypto lib for FTPS. I just needed the lib for

HTTPS in HTTP adapter.

regards.
