Using Secure Network Communications in Java CAPS

Secure Network Communication connections are provided to the SAP Server during design-time and runtime in the SAP BAPI Adapter.

To Create a SAP BAPI OTD Using Secure Network Communications

1. Begin creating a SAP BAPI OTD using the SAP BAPI OTD Wizard.
2. At the step to Select Login Parameters, select the Enable SNCcheckbox.
3. Specify the following parameters.

   • SNC Library Path: The path to the Security Library you are using, for example: <your drive>:/Secude/secude.dll

   • SNC Partner Name: The SNC Name you specified for the SAP Server (Server PSE), for example: p:CN=IDS, OU=IT, O=CSW, C=DE

   • X.509 Certificate: The certificate information of your Client PSE

   • SNC My Name: The name you specified for the Client PSE, for example: p:CN=RFC, OU=IT, O=CSW, C=DE

   The SNC Quality of Protection is defaulted to 1, since only authentication during the OTD creation is provided.

4. Finish the SAP BAPI OTD Wizard.

   Note - You can connect to SAP Server without using SNC. Simply leave the Enable SNC checkbox disabled and only specify the enabled parameters.

To Create a SAP IDOC OTD Using Secure Network Communications

Secure Network Communication connections are provided to the SAP Server for SAP IDOC OTD creation, when you select the metadata source from the SAP directly option.

1. Begin creating a SAP IDOC OTD using the SAP IDOC OTD Wizard.
2. At the step to Select Login Parameters, select the Enable SNCcheckbox.
3. Specify the following parameters.

   • SNC Library Path: The path to the Security Library you are using, for example: <your drive>:/Secude/secude.dll

   • SNC Partner Name: The SNC Name you specified for the SAP Server (Server PSE), for example: p:CN=IDS, OU=IT, O=CSW, C=DE

   • X.509 Certificate: The certificate information of your Client PSE

   • SNC My Name: The name you specified for the Client PSE, for example: p:CN=RFC, OU=IT, O=CSW, C=DE

   The SNC Quality of Protection is defaulted to 1, since only authentication during the OTD creation is provided.

4. Finish the SAP IDOC OTD Wizard.

   During runtime, you can enable SNC for both outbound and inbound. You can specify the SNC parameters in the SAP BAPI External System.

   Note - You can connect to SAP Server without using SNC. Simply leave the Enable SNC checkbox disabled and only specify the enabled parameters.
