Soap Adapter ---- Protocol change from Http to Https

[Former Member]

Hi,

Presently, a Non-SAP system is communicating with the XI system via the SOAP Adapter. The transport protocol is Http.

Requirement: Protocol change from Http to Https.

I need pointers whether the SOAP adapter can be configured for the Https protocol and if yes, what needs to be done to make this protocol change.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Rashmi,

Thanks for providing me the links to check out about HTTP over SSL. I have gone through these links over the last few days.

The links suggest me to make the required configuration settings with regards to the SOAP adapter itself.

I would like to make only the required communication channels to be HTTPS enabled and the rest still communicating via HTTP only.

Is this possible and if so, how should go about doing it?

The system details are : XI 3.0 SP12

Thanks in advance,

Ravi,

Haven't done myself.

Got this feedback from a colleague who did.

Hope it helps.

Basically you a web server setup and then create a SSL request key and sign up a vendor like Verisign for a SSL and upload the SSL request key. They will process and send the SSL key that has to be installed on the Web server.

Proof of domain ownership is required.

www.versign.com would have full details.

You should obtain a

<a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO/">SSL Certificate</a> (from a Certificate Authority) and import into your system (keystore).

Hi Rajender,

Thanks for the information provided.

I have gone through the link about SSL Certificate.

It is very large. Could you provide me a step-step mechanism of the entire process of SSL Certificate, importing it into the system and then utilising it.

I would like to make only the required communication channels using the SOAP Adapter HTTPS enabled while not modifying the HTTP transport protocol for other communication channels. This is with regards to both inbound and outbound communication channels.

Is this possible? If yes, how should I go about doing it?

Thanks in advance,
