Importing the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP public certificate into the Person Security Environment of the adapter

You can use these steps to import the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP public certificate into the Person Security Environment of the adapter.

Procedure

  1. In Trust Manager, select the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Secure Network Communication Person Security Environment.
  2. Select (double-click) the certificate in the Owner field.
  3. Select Certificate -> Export from the menu.
  4. Specify the path and file name to save the file; select the Base64 format and choose Enter.
    Use a different file name for each SAP system.
  5. Copy the exported certificate to the system that hosts the adapter.
  6. On the adapter system, run the following command on one line to import the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP public certificate into the Person Security Environment of the adapter:
    sapgenpse maintain_pk [-a cert_file] [-p PSE_name] [-x PIN] [DN]

    Where:

    -a cert_file
    Path and file name for the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP public certificate.
    -p PSE_name
    Path and file name for Person Security Environment for the adapter.
    -x PIN
    PIN value that protects the Person Security Environment.
    For example:
    sapgenpse maintain_pk -a sap.crt -p adapter.pse
  7. Run the following command to display all the certificate details that were updated in the .pse file.
    sapgenpse maintain_pk -l -p PSE_name [-x PIN]

    Where:

    -p PSE_name
    Path and file name for Person Security Environment for the adapter.
    -x PIN
    PIN value that protects the Person Security Environment.
    For example:
    sapgenpse maintain_pk -l -p adapter.pse
    Note: For securing multiple SAP systems with a single Secure Network Communication certificate, repeat steps 1 to 6 for each SAP system. To update the file entry of the certificates that were exported from different SAP systems to the existing .pse file, run step 6 for each of the certificates.
