Can any one tell me what are the different types of PSEs available in SAP?
Thanks

Hi
As far as I know there are the following types:
- system.PSE (DSA, for SSF)
and
- SSL server PSE
- SSL client PSE (standard)
- SSL client PSE (anonymous)
All of them of type RSA.

Well, a PSE (Personal Security Environment) is just a container (a kind of "dedicated keystore").
It contains
- a certificate,
- the corresponding private key, and
- an "address book" (containing a list of certificates, therefore aka "certificate list" or "pklist" (public key list)).
Certificates can be used for various (but entirely different) purposes, e.g.
- for SSL (client, server),
- for SSF (digital signatures, different PSEs for different applications, see transaction SSFA),
- for SNC
Depending on the intended use-case / purpose, you require a distinct type of certificate (algorithm); there are two major groups: RSA and DSA certificates.
In general:
- RSA certificates for SSL and SNC
- DSA certificates for SSF (digital signatures w/o encryption)
- RSA certificates for SSF with encryption
In order to use RSA certificates with an ABAP server you require the SAPCRYPTOLIB (not part of the shipment due to export control); for DSA certificates the SAPSECULIB is sufficient (part of the standard shipment).

Hi,
The following are the different types of PSEs in SAP:
SNC PSE = Used by WebWAS or ITS for SNC.
Systen PSE = Used by SAP System for digital siginature & SAP WAS
SSL Server PSE = by SAP WAS for SSL, when it is server component
SSL Client PSE= by SAP WAS for SSL, when it is client component.
*Pls avoid points if usefull
