Query About PSE

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

Can anyone please explain what are the places where exactly a system pse will be used?

For example, if someone wants to login into the SAP server from a Enterprise portal , it is needed?

Can anyone please let me know what are the other places in common where a system pse is used?

and can you tell me a real time scenario where a SSL client anonymous is used? I know if the SAP system does not wants to reveal its identity , Can you give an example of that?

Thanks,

Sowmya

Hi Soumya,

If there is a external system , which is accessing the ABAP system/portal system , then you need the SSL configuration to access the system for security system. Then you have to configure the SAPSSLS.pse (SSL Server PSE) because here ABAP system will act as SSL server.

Where SSL client anonymous is used?

The AS ABAP uses the anonymous SSL client PSE when accessing other Web servers using the SSL protocol. Note that the server does not use the information contained in this PSE for its own authentication; it only uses the PSE's information to authenticate the Web server that it is accessing. Therefore, you do not need to have the corresponding public-key certificate signed by a CA and the steps for generating and importing a certificate request are not necessary.

Real Time Example :

UK payroll uses HMRC services for tax. HMRC is a web server which accepted the SSL request.

In this case , We download the required certificate from the web server and imported it into SSL Client anonymous SAPSSLA.pse.

After we have imported the certificate , We have make the RFC aware to use the SSL Client anonymous to get connected with HMRC Web Service.
