X.509 Certificate Authentication for SAP C4C Connector – Points to remember
Following behavior is seen in your App Connect Orchestration when you import a SAP C4C PKCS#12 key pair file in the key store:
- 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.
- 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.
- In order to make a communication arrangement with SSL certificate authentication exclusively, it is recommended not to configure any user id and password for the same communication arrangement.
