SAP ERP MSS/ESS HTTPS integratio

Former Member — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 17:01:08 GMT

Dear Experts,

I am doing a configuration between a SAP Portal 7.4 and ERP 7.4.

That's fine, they're working fine with Assertion Tickets, now I need to configure them to communicate through HTTPS when I access the MSS and ESS places on Portal.

But when I get the configuration done, Internet Explorer is requestsing ERP Certificate.

1 - Can you guys give me a guess of what is going on?

2 - The point is HOW can I export a trusting certificate from my AS ABAP to install it on Internet Explorer?

3 - Is there any other way to make Portal and ECC communicate each other?

4 - To add some more information, the point is that I want to secure all cookies from SAP Note 2068872 because some of the cookies are non secure, check response from Internet Explorer:

Hi Gabriel,

You are faing this issue as you are using a SSL for SSO.

You have to open the system object for the corresponding backend system and there you need to change the protocol from HTTPS to HTTP and this will work.

If you want to use SSL , then you need to import the certificates signed by CA.

Ashutosh,

Yes, that's the point, I want to use SSL, now how to get the CA Certificate?

Any helpful guide?

Best regards,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

Are you using Web dispatcher?

Configuring the SSL Key Pair and Trusted X.509 Certificates - Network and Transport Layer Security - SAP Library

Check the following rows in the link

1. Create new key pair entry to use for SSL

2. Generate a certificate signing request:

Hi Anita,

Thank you for reply.

Besides signing it with logon tickets, I want to secure connections through HTTPS and I've found that one way to secure logon is through SSL connection but I am failing to accomplish it because when Portal calls ESS/MSS Services from R/3 backend it requests a certificate because it is calling R/3 throug HTTPS protocol.

That's the point.

So Internet Explorer is asking for a trusted Certificate from my R/3 system but I am not pretty sure how to get a Trust Certificate.

Also I am not able to figure if there is another way of securing connection through HTTPS between Portal and R/3 if not by SSL...

Best regards,

Gabriel
