Hi Chris,
I contacted the responsible people and the note is now available.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is described in the guide in section
5.2.1 Configuring Authentication:
Certificate Exchange:
This method is based on the mutual trust of Client Authentication certificates between an SAP System and an SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator installation.
So you will need to create digitally signed certificates for both your ERP and your Visual Enterprise Generator system to establish trust.
If you want to setup your landscape to use SSL then you will need to jump to section
Certificate Exchange (Just below section 5.2.1)
The SAP system and SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator communicate with each other using Web services. The SAP system calls Web services to start and stop conversion jobs on the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator system, and the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator calls Web services to log statuses on the SAP system.
Both sides require authentication to call Web services. This requires client certificates to be mapped to users on both sides. The systems therefore need to identify and authenticate the other side’s certificate.
This section explains how the certificates are implemented, exchanged, and mapped to a user.
Personally the other method is much easier to implement.
I hope this helps in some way.
Kind Regards
Fergal.
