Is Web service security available?

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I have an issue on Integration Engine: I installed SAP XI (3.0 / 6.40) and I can´t get to make the Integration Engine 100% correctly running. In Runtime Workbench all the tests go fine except for

" Is Web service security available? " which shows on "details":

"Communication error Proxy calls on the sender or receiver side are not permitted on the IS (client) "

I already enabled JSDK strong encryption and I have already installed Java Cryptography toolkits.

All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel -

Even for the Integration Engine (which resides on the ABAP stack), message level security (mls) functions, such as those provided by WS-Security, are provided by the Java/J2EE server. Basically an internal web service call from the ABAP to Java stack is made when the ws-security services are needed. This would be relevant for the XI adapter/protocol, for example, where the Adapter Engine based adapters aren't used.

Connections need to be set up for this to take place and the "Is Web service security available" test is to check whether these connections have been set up. Check in section 3 of the guide - <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b2e7020d-0d01-0010-269c-a98d3fb5d16c">How to Configure Message Level Security in SAP XI 3.0</a> starting with page 7, to set up this connection.

As others have said, this is only required when Web Service Security functionality is required - mainly in the XI protocol case as I already mentioned. Otherwise, you don't need it and don't have to worry about it.

This warning can be ignored as it only indicates that message level security has not been configured.

If you want it to be configured then refer to section -

'12.4.2 - Configuring Web Service Security in the Java Stack'

in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/bp_bpmv130/Documentation/Installation/Configuration_Guide_FP.pdf">XI 3.0 Configuration Guide</a>
