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.

Regards,

Désiré

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.
