Sending HTTPS requests from SAP

Question

Does anyone have any information on the prerequisites for sending HTTPS requests from SAP? I'm able to send HTTP Posts ok but I can't get a request to be sent over HTTPS. This is from ABAP

I guess the core of the issue is what needs to be done to tell SAP to use a HTTPS connection not the standard HTTP.

Thanks

Chris

Solution

Are you posting via an HTTP RFC?

If so:

• go to transaction SM59
• choose HTTP Connections to External Server
• Select the RFC
• Edit

Technical settings tab:

• Target Host = the server you are sending the HTTP POST to
• Service No = the port number (e.g. 443)

Logon & Security tab:

• Basic Authentication
• SSL = Active
• SSL Client Certificate = DEFAULT SSL Client (Standard) (this needs to be configured in transaction STRUST if not already done so)

You need to expand on your question as it isn't clear what you are trying to do. Plus is this from an SAP ABAP stack or Java stack?

@Techboy - simple really,I want to send a POST over HTTPS not just HTTP. How do I configure SAP to handle the SSL handshake?
