XI to XI over https

[Former Member]

hello experts,

i have a question regarding XI to XI communication using HTTPs.

in general the URL that needs to be accessed i.e. the entry URL for other integration engine pipeline, is the same that we see in SXMB_ADM as Integration engine URL / IS_URL in the other XI.

we have the communication running fine with http but then for https my questions are:

1. is there a change in XI setup required anyway to facilitate https?

2. if i am not wrong, the XI adapter in such case needs to use HTTPS as the protocol. Is this correct?

3. the HTTP destinations(if used in this case) are supposed to point to the HTTPS urls or if URL addresses used in channel config, then should point to HTTPS URLs.

Hope the questions are clear. I would appreciate responses from your experience regarding this.

Sorry for not marking this as a question, the system isnt allowing me to do that right now.

Thanks,

Amol

Amol,

If I remember correctly, there is a dedicated topic in the XI/PI installation guide about HTTPS setup for internal connections, and online help offers pages about security matters (setup, settings etc) ... Then URLs could be switch to HTTPS

I do not see any particular issue doing XI to XI over HTTPS (providing all SSL setup has been performed correctly on the ABAP stack - as pipeline communications mainly take place here) ... Doing the SSL setup for the JAVA stack could be helpful (needed?) too
