Hi,

1) You should receive the public key/certificate from the sending party.

2) Sending party must provide certificate

3) As is written in blog go to the Service 'Key Storage' in VA

4) After adding certificates to Key Storage they should be choosable in the adapter config also as rescribed in the blog.

NB: after having received the certificate from the sending party this must be mapped to a SAP-user in the UME of the java stack. The user must have the role SAP_XI_APPL_SERV_USER.

Digital certificates

A digital certificate is an electronic "credit card" that establishes your credentials when doing business or other transactions on the Web. It is issued by a certification authority (CA). It contains your name, a serial number, expiration dates, a copy of the certificate holder's public key (used for encrypting messages and digital signatures), and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real. Some digital certificates conform to a standard, X.509. Digital certificates can be kept in registries so that authenticating users can look up other users' public keys.

Certificates are issued by Certifying Authority(CA) for people or an organization. This is used to identify unique person or unique organization.
