Hi guys,
I have two options . either to use file adapter or SOAP adapter.
Can you pls tell me whether FTPS transport protocol is more secure or HTTPS so that i can choose from FILE or SOAP adapter
points will be rewarded
Hello ,
HTTPS ,the s is for secure....
and for viewing web content and passing data from server and its client.
Where in your case FTPS is more appropiate.
FTP over TLS/SSL
1)Often called 'FTPS'
2)Often called 'Secure FTP'
3)Plain FTP over TLS/SSL channel
4)Password is encrypted
5)Transfer is encrypted
6)Runs over TCP port 21 or 990
7)Defined by RFC 959, 1123, 4217 and 2228
8)Implemented in FTP/SSL component

HI,
FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Using SSL/TLS):
This is a built-in feature of File adapter in XI. But SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit must be deployed as a prerequisite. (Refer to note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/821267 Question 28). By default following ports are used:
Implict FTPs 990 (Control) and 989 (Data)
Explicit FTPs 21 (Control) and 20 (Data)
Both use cases can be combined with active and passive mode.
Advantages:
Direct transfer of files to/from third-party systems. It is not required to store the files in the XI server temporarily.
Built-In feature from XI File adapter
No extra effort in development and maintenance of Unix Script.
Centralized Monitoring tool from XI
FTPS uses certificates and therefore can take advantage of "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities. This paradigm makes it possible for two entities to establish a trust relationship without directly exchanging security information, which is important for some applications.
Disadvantages:
Requires opening multiple ports forenabling SSLin the firewall. So there are multiple holes in the corporate firewall.
Not every FTP server supports FTPS and many that do, require a configuration change to activate the FTPS protocol extension.
Cryptographic toolkit should be installed in XI system though it is not very complex or expensive.

Go thro the links for https
You can use the HTTP adapter. Refer to following SDN TV demo of the HHTP adapter for details steps involved into it.
https://media.sdn.sap.com/SDNTV/main.asp?mediaId=107
HTTPS using XMLSPY
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/ef2940cbf2195de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
The HTTPS configuration data of the Adapter Engines has to be configured in the SLD.
More Information in the "SAP Security Guide XI"

Under Security Check for Inbound Messages, you can specify which HTTP Security Level is to be assumed for incoming messages. You can choose from the following security levels:
○ HTTP (default value)
○ HTTPS without client authentication
○ HTTPS with client authentication

Hi,
Purpose of file and soap adapters are different.
File adapter is used to pick up the file from legacy system and SOAP adapter are used to integrate with remote system or client.
based on ur business requirement u need to use any of the adapters.
Now coming to FTPS adn HTTPS they are used for security purpose where S stands for Secure
SOAP supports both HTTPS and HTTP while in file adapter u have the option of using FTPS.
Again I suggest u first select the adapter based on the business requirement.

Hi,
FTPS is used when we are bounded to use the FTP Adapter
This FTP Adapter is used in case of we are dealing with the File systems
So we can say typically FTPS is used , if we use the FTP Adapter for our Business Requirement
HTTPS is used if we use SOAP Adapter for our business Requirement.
So based on your Business, u have to choose the right adapter first and then use the FTPS or HTTPS accordingly
I think both are having the Secure functionality according to the usage of the adapter
