API call with basic authentication and SSL certificate

[marco-silva]

Dear experts,

I'm trying to develop an iFlow to call an API.

I created an HTTP call to the Receiver and parameter the address like https://endpoint:port/prefix .

The receiver has my public certificate key, so I need to put my SSL certificate (p12) in the call, as well as my technical user / password.

Which of them should be on the "Credential Name"? I assume that I can put Authentication "Basic" and put the user / password in a credential in the "Security Material", but then how should I indicate the certificate for SSL trust?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Marco Silva

Hello,

I created my keystore with my server client certificate and root, intermediate and client certificates of the receiver. I get the following error:

com.sap.it.rt.adapter.http.api.exception.HttpResponseException: An internal server error occured: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure.

I don't know if the problem is on sender or receiver side... Any idea? Do I need to have one signed certificate for my CPI account?

Hello Apu,

Thank you for your answer. In this precise case, I have a server client certificate and I gave the public key (.p7b) to the receiver. In my side, I have the certificate (.p12) and I have to call the API with a technical user (user + password). I uploaded the certificate key pair to the keystore and created the user / password credentials in the security material area. If I perform a REST call with SOAPUI for this API, with authorization "Basic" and indicating the user / password, having indicated the .p12 certificate in the SSL settings preference, I successfully perform an API call with JSON body. Now I want to perform the same action with CPI, but I'm struggling with this SSL connection, I don't understand how I can indicate the certificate that I uploaded to the keystore.

When you are calling some HTTPS services generally the provider should provide you the SSL certificate and in HCI key store you need to import the SSL to authenticate. Additionally, you can configure Basic authentication in receiver CC.

In you case, you can try with user to certificate mapping once.
