Does HTTP receiver adapter capable to post XML message over SSL/HTTPS? in PI 7.3

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

I have RFC to HTTP(synchronous) scenario for banking domain. I need to take the XML input file through RFC from ECC and need to encrypt and put the digital signature, and post it to bank network using SSL/HTTPS, bank will reply another XML contains the response, which needs to be updated in ECC(FI/CO). Can you please help me get my below query.

1- Can we post data over SSL/HTTPS using HTTP receiver adapter?  if yes, steps please

2- Can we do encryption, digital signature in HTTP receiver adapter? if yes, please provide me the steps to do.

If possible please provide me the high level ESR and Integration directory steps for RFC to HTTP adapter.

Thanks,

Farhan

Hello Farhan,

You can enable SSL for HTTP receiver communication channels. Please refer to SAP Help for information on respective prerequisites and parameters of the communication channel for HTTP receiver that are necessary to be taken into consideration when configuring SSL for HTTP. For example, for HTTP_AAE (Java based HTTP adapter), this would be: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/6d/c2b39dae45482e90d3352345cbf427/content.htm?frameset=... .

You can encrypt/sign transmitted messages for the HTTP receiver communication channel. This is not a part of the adapter functionality, but you can employ the corresponding adapter module when configuring the communication channel in order to achieve this functionality.

It makes sense to have a look at SAP's SFTP PGP Add-On that brings two PGP related adapter modules - PGPEncryption and PGPDecryption. The module PGPEncryption can be utilized to encrypt, sign or compress the transmitted message. The Add-On is not delivered in the standard shipment of PI and needs to be installed before you can configure and make use of respective functions.

For more information on installation and configuration, please refer to Installation and Master Guides on SAP Service Marketplace (Installation & Upgrade Guides -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NW Process Orchestration, secure connectivity add-on 1.0) and supplementary documentation that is provided in the Add-On downloadable content (please also check the SAP Note 1695521 for the most up-to-date information on the Add-On downlodable archive location). Please also check the SAP Note 1695563 for the compatibility matrix of this Add-On as per PI release / SP level.

You can also check the blog of Shabarish that describes how to configure and use the PGPEncryption module: http://scn.sap.com/community/pi-and-soa-middleware/blog/2012/04/10/pgpencryption-module-how-to-guide .

Hi Vadim,

i need to configure HTTP_AAE adapter to send mesages via SSL\TLS using TLS_DH_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA algorithm. As far as i know SAP support cipher suites, BUT only as SSL\TLS server not as client. I found some good blog http://scn.sap.com/community/b2b-integration/blog/2012/09/18/configure-the-httpaae-receiver-communic...

but i do not found how to set needed alghoritm ?

Or it's should be custom adapter module/adapter ?

Regards,

Ivan.
