HTTPS / SFTP with XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

im developing an intervae which should communicate xml files via HTTPS or SFTP.

With HTTP (i have made some tests and it works)

now i want to test it with HTTPS or SFTP but i dont know how to use this.

Can you provide me with some details how to send an file to the https adapter ?

maybe an url call or something else ?

Thank You,

Hello,

SEEBURGER AG (www.seeburger.de) offers an SFTP/SCP adapter for SAP XI.

This adapter is fully integrated in the SAP XI adapter framework.

Gordon,

5xx01 didn't work?

Try checking out Exchange Profiles on Administration Link, in initial page of XI (http://<server>:<port>/rep/start/index.jsp).

In the Exchange Profiles, go to Runtime Workbench folder. In it, there's a parameter which should be your https port. Check the number there.

Hi Henrique,

I'm working on this thing together with Gordon. I just checked the parameters for the https port and noticed that only a string is maintained (@com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.httpsport@) not a port number.

I guess together with our SAP Basis we can solve the port problem, but the main question sill remains: How can we actually test a https call? There are several html code samples for sending http request, but we havent found a solution for a https test scenario.

any ideas?

Hi,

Standrad File adapter shipped with XI <b>does not support SFTP</b>. You can may be consider using <b>FTPS ( File Transfer Protocol using SSL/TLS ).</b>

hi,

i have a url(from this forum, another thread) to send an http request to our xi... and it works fine.

Do you have a url or a tool to send an https request ?

<i>Under Security Check for Inbound Messages, you can specify which HTTP Security Level is to be assumed for incoming messages. You can choose from the following security levels:

&#9675; HTTP (default value)

&#9675; HTTPS without client authentication

&#9675; HTTPS with client authentication</i>

For HTTPS and FTPS, you need to define if your communication will have certificate authentication, user authentication, none or both. User/password you enter in the adapter parameters, it's simple. For certificates, you need to import (load) it on Key Storage service, service_ssl view, on Visual Administrator (or create the key pair certificate on XI and then sign then on some Certification Authority, on the same service). Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm for further information.

For incoming messages, usually 5xx00 port works for http and 5xx01 for https (where xx is your system number).

Henrique.
