Configure Certificate Authentication.

[Former Member]

I'm configuring a SOAP adapter (receiver) and in the SAP Doc Libray this is what it says to use a certificate :

If the server requests a certificate from the client, set the indicator Configure Certificate Authentication.

¡ Specify the Keystore Entry.

¡ Specify the Keystore View.

Problem is this indicator doesn't even show up in my adapter communication channel!

Has anyone had this issue?

Thanks - Andrew

Hi Andrew,

have you got XI with SP13?

this is a feature available only from SP13:

Receiver SOAP Adapter

You can now configure a certificate authentication for the HTTPS and SMTPS transport protocols.

if you want to check you SP level

open IR or ID then <b>Help</b> menu and choose <b>Information</b>

if your SP is lower then you'll have to update your XI

We are only on SP 11 - I did make the setting in the receiver determination - is that good enough?

Hi,

>>We are only on SP 11

sorry you have to wait for SP13 to make it work

Ok just so I understand what you are saying - our parnter requires that we connect via ssl and use a verisign certificate to communicate with them.

To do this we have to be on SP13 ?

Sorry I just need to make sure as now is the time ( since we are still in sandbox mode )

Hi,

if you want to use

"certificate authentication for the HTTPS and SMTPS transport protocols" then yes - you must have SP13

take a look at this page (Receiver SOAP Adapter section):

SP13 is working pretty fine on our DEV installations

and it has some new ql features too

(like mapping lookups)

Ok we are now up and running on SP13, yet I go to create a new soap adapter and still do not see the indicator - am I missing something?
