Certificate logon

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have a scenario where HTTPS connection has to be established with the partner and we have to use certificate logon for the same.

1) Do we have to install the partner certificate in our server?

Can someone tell me the procedure in using certificates?

Thanks in advance,

Anish

Hi Anish,

In the communication channel you need to select the following:

- Transport protocol : HTTP1.o

- Addressing Type : HTTP Destination

- HTTP Destination: your ABAP RFC (type G)

In your RFC destination you specify the URL and the certificate to use to connect to your server. This should work.

These are the following Steps you must do:

- The HTTP destination from the ABAP application system to the Integration Server must be configured as HTTPS.

- The external sender must use a HTTPS connection to the Adapter Engine

- The corresponding Integration Directory channel must be configured as an XI 3.0 protocol using HTTPS.

- The corresponding Integration Directory channel to the external receiver must be configured as a corresponding adapter protocol using HTTPS.

- Internal communication between Integration Server and Adapter Engines:

The following exchange profile parameters must be set:

-com.sap.aii.connect.secure_connections = messaging

-com.sap.aii.connect.integrationserver.httpsport

-com.sap.aii.connect.integrationserver.r3.httpsport

The HTTPS configuration data of the Adapter Engines has to be configured in the SLD.

Hi Abhy,

we are using RNIF adapter to establish HTTPS connection.

Could give me info about the certificate configuration to be done when using RNIF adapters?

Hi Anish,

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.

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

There are 3 software components related to RosettaNet that are offered by SAP:

ROSETTANET

ROSETTANET CRM

ROSETTANET ERP

The component ROSETTANET contains mainly the definitions of the PIP's, while the components ROSETTANET ERP and ROSETTANET CRM contain (most importantly) the mappings against the respective SAP backend (CRM or ERP).

If you look for complete support of PIP's including the mapping to the backend (IDoc or BAPI) you need to check which PIP's are supported in ROSETTANET CRM or ROSETTANET ERP. Here the document you find following the link in the SAP service marketplace is correct. As of today SAP offers mappings for the following PIP's:

PIP3A4

PIP3A7

PIP3A8

PIP3A9

PIP3B2

PIP3C3

PIP3C6

If you are only interested in the PIP definition, you need to check the content of the component ROSETTANET (here you don't find the latest information on the service marketplace). In general, SAP is working on making all PIP's available in that component. If you are missing some PIP you can contact SAP, e.g. via this forum and the PIP's will be added and made available very soon.

Currently you find the following PIP's:

PIP2A12

PIP3A1, 3A2, 3A4, 3A6, 3A7, 3A8, 3A9

PIP3B2, 3B12, 3B13, 3B14

PIP3C3, 3C4, 3C6

PIP4A1, 4A5

PIP5C1, 5C2, 5C3, 5C4

PIP6C1, 6C2

Also important to mention is that SAP works with some partners that also offer mappings for some PIP's, for example 3C4 and the PIP6C* series.

I hope the information provided has helped you clear all doubts.

Abhy
