X509 RFC3820 Certificates

Former Member

Hi,

I have used X509 certificates in conjunction with SAP web applications a number of times and have had little problem is getting them to work, however I have come across a scenario wherby we now need to use X509 RFC3820 certficates. They differ in that it is signed by the end-entity certificate and not by the certificate authority (CA). Usually the proxy cert is presented along with the end-entity (vanilla) X.509 certificate and the chain is used for authentication as opposed to just the vanilla certificate.

Details of the standard are here http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3820.txt

Does anyone know if these can be used in conjunction with SAP? Or what changes to the standard X509 certificate setup would be needed

Kind regards

Richard
