X.509 Certificate Authentication for SAP C4C Connector – Points to remember

Following behavior is seen in your Cast Iron Orchestration when you import a SAP C4C PKCS#12 key pair file in the key store:

  1. The certificate imported always takes precedence over basic authentication, and once the key pair file is imported, all the orchestration requests will be authenticated through the certificate authentication.
  2. If the imported key pair file is invalidate due to the reasons specified above, the test connection and the orchestrations would fail with 401 un-authorized access error. Replacing the invalid file with a newly generated file is a corrective action to be taken in such a scenario.
  3. In order to make a communication arrangement with SSL certificate authentication exclusively, then it is recommended not to configure any user id and password for the same communication arrangement.
