SOAP with HTTPS Connection

[former_member418744]

Hi All,

For a requirement, I need to connect the PI with 3rd party Web server system for both inbound and outbound interfaces.

Currently, I am with SAP PI 7.31 single stack system. I was communicated as HTTPS without client Authentication option need to use.

As I read in some of the discussion, there is no need of using exchange certifications if HTTPS without client Authentication was selected.

My Basis team confirmed, we have installed the certificates in PI machine. I didn't see any option of selecting the certificate in the sender SOAP communication channel. we have already shared the SOAP URL(https://..... :HTTPS enabled port/.....) of the particular interface to web server team to trigger data. But in SOAP receiver channel, I have given the https:// based URL of the web server system along with the selection of HTTPS without client Authentication option.

When I pinged the Receiver Communication Channel, getting error as below.

What is the exact difference between the 1. HTTPS without client authentication

                                                            2. HTTPS with client authentication.

Can anybody explain the above questions in detail, particularly about the 1st once.

Regards,

Raj kumar.

Hi Harish,

Thanks for your reply.

Second link gave me the clarity on the with & without client authentication. Now I am clear about the Sender Soap Channel. Confirm me, I don't have to select any option, other than providing the https://... based URL of the webservice system at receiver SOAP Channel, right?.( If my requirement is https without client authentification)

Interface flow for my requirement will be

ECC --> PI --> Webservice system ( Do I need to choose any option?)

Webservice system --> PI ----> ECC.(Clear about this flow)

If no certificates are involved for without client authentication process, how much extent it will be secure by providing security at transport level only ?

Thanks,

Phaniraj.
