XI, Web Services & WSSE - any experience?

[Former Member]

Hi guys!

We need to integrate r/3 with web service on other side. Communication between XI and WS need to be secured. It would be probably the best to use WSSE. Has anyone of you already implemented this kind of scenario? What's your esperience? Does it work? Or are there some problems?

Thanx a lot!

Hi,

you can encrypt and sign WS in XI in standard

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/56/992d4142badb2be10000000a1550b0/content.htm

the question is also how will you send the data to your XI

(will XI be in DMZ and have only decentralized adapter in outer DMZ?)

so try also considering not only XI - WS flow

but also securing R3 - XI as it will be important in this case

read about network zones:

Hi

If you are using XI 3.0

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b2e7020d-0d01-0010-269c-a98d3fb5...

If you are using PI7.0

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d024ca8e-e76e-2910-c183-8ea4ba68...

This will give you information on configuring message level security in XI.

Hi Olian,

You will have to configure SSL to make a secure webservice call from XI. Please go through the help links to do the same...

Also for this you will have to configure the HTTPS port with the required Key Storage entry..

Please go through these links for the same..
