Communication System and Arrangement in SAP C4C

Hi All,

What is the use of Root Certificate in C4C while doing integration set up??

Greetings ichu1234

In simple terms, Client should trust the Server and the Server should trust the Client for a mutual SSL handshake to happen. To have this trust, both the client and server should provide their root certificate/identification to the other. ECC/HCI/C4C behave as a client or server depending upon the direction of flow of information and based on who they are communicating with – Eg: both C4C and ECC communicate with HCI either in an Inbound direction or Outbound direction.

Quick Guide on using Certificates for Integrating C4C and ECC using HCI

Regardless of the integration broker (HCI in this example), the concept is the same. And to address your specific question, you will require root valid certificates approved by a CA, as self-signed certificates won't work.

Hopefully, this will shed a light. 🙂

Kindly accept the answer if it helped in your topic.
