4 1 Business Scenario This document explains the required steps to configure SAP Web Dispatcher as reverse proxy for an onpremise CRM or ECC system for integration with SAP Cloud for Customers using HANA Cloud Integration. 2 Background Information This scenario covers HTTPS communication from HCI all the way to CRM or ECC with SSL termination in the SAP Web Dispatcher.This configuration is based on the steps to enable x.509 authentication, which is required when HANA Cloud Integration is used as integration layer. In this case we use a Windows server to illustrate the process, but the steps should be very similar in other operating systems systems. Note: There could be other parameters involved for proper operation of SSL configuration and Web Dispatcher, but this How-to document describes the minimum required for this scenario to work. 3 Prerequisites The chief prerequisite is that the SAP CRM or ECC systems are already configured with SSL. These tasks should be performed by a qualified SAP Basis Administrator, with a solid conceptual understanding of SSL and certificate-based encryption concepts.

5 ... 4 Step-by-Step Procedure This scenario covers and HTTPS communication from HCI all the way to CRM with SSL termination in the SAP Web Dispatcher. This configuration is based in the required steps to enable x.509 authentication required when HANA Cloud Integration is used as integration layer. In this case we use a Windows server, but the steps should be very similar for other OS systems. 4.1 Installation of SAP Web Dispatcher There are multiple ways to install the SAP Web Dispatcher but in this case we will use the SAPINST tool, it is also possible to use the SWPM or do manual installation. 1. Start SAPINST in the host where SAP Web Dispatcher will be installed. Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 5

7 4. Enter the master password. 5. Enter the location of the non-unicode kernel. 6. Enter the hostname and port number of the message server of the CRM or ECC system. Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 7

8 7. Enter the system number, port number and configuration size. 8. If required, activate the ICF services. 9. The installation proceeds Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 8

9 Click OK to finish the installation. 4.2 Update SAP Web Dispatcher Kernel SAP note exaplains the process to update the kernel and the different release convinations that are supported. 4.3 SAP Web Dispatcher SSL Configuration 1. Download the latest SAP Cryptographic tools. This package is avaialable in the SAP Marketplace under SWDC. 2. Copy the SAP cryptographic binaries to the location of the Web Dispatcher kernel. This file include the sapgenpse and the library file. For example: sapgenpse.exe sapcrypto.dll Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 9

10 3. Copy the file ticket to the sec directory under the Web Dispatcher instance directory. 4. Add the following SSL relevant parameters to the Web Dispatcher profile: DIR_INSTANCE ssl/ssl_lib ssl/server_pse ssl/client_pse icm/server_port_1 For example: DIR_INSTANCE = D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35 ssl/ssl_lib=d:\usr\sap\wcr\sys\exe\nuc\ntamd64\sapcrypto.dll ssl/server_pse=d:\usr\sap\wcr\w35\sec\sapssls.pse ssl/client_pse=d:\usr\sap\wcr\w35\sec\sapsslc.pse icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS, PORT=1445, TIMEOUT= Set parameter wdisp/ssl_encrypt. This parameter determines how the SAP Web Dispatcher handles inbound HTTP(S) requests. The following values are permitted: 0: Forward the request unencrypted. 1: Encrypt the request again with SSL, in case the request arrived via HTTPS protocol. 2: Always forward the request encrypted with SSL. 6. Create Server PSE using the following command: sapgenpse get_pse <additional_options> -p <PSE_Name> r <cert_req_file_name> -x <PIN> <Distinguished_Name> For example: sapgenpse get_pse -p SAPSSLS.pse -x password -r D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\cert.req "CN=hostname.domain, OU=SAPLabs, OU=SAP, O=SAP, C=US" It is important that the CN used match the DNS name that will be used to communicate from HCI to the CRM/ECC system. The sapgenpse command will create two files, the actual PSE file and the certificate request for signature. Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 10

11 It is possible to use the STRUST to create both. More details of both methods may be found via the link below: /content.htm 7. Sign certificate request by a CA. For testing purposes in this example we are using the SSL test Server certificate under the SAP Trust Center in the marketplace, but you can use your own CA. Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 11

12 8. Click in SSL Test server Certificate and then in Test Now. 9. Enter the certificate request and click Continue. Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 12

13 10. Copy the full string and paste into a text file 11. Import certificate request response into PSE. First, obtain the root certificate of the CA that was used to sign your certificate. In this case we get it from the download area for the SAP SSL Test Server CA Certificate. 12. Execute the following command to import the response into the PSE: sapgenpse import_own_cert <Additional_options> -p <PSE_file> -c <Cert_file> [-r <RootCA_cert_file>] -x <PIN> Below is an example sapgenpse import_own_cert -c D:\usr\sap\WCR\W33\sec\signedcert.cer -p SAPSSLS.pse -x password -r D:\usr\sap\WCR\W33\sec\getCert.cer More details may be found via the following link: Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 13

14 Use the following command to create a credentials file: sapgenpse seclogin <additional options> -p <PSE_Name> -x <PIN> -O [<Windows_Domain>\]<user_ID> For example: sapgenpse seclogin -p D:\usr\sap\WCR\W33\sec\SAPSSLS.pse -x password -O SAPServiceWCR 14. Restart the Web Dispatcher. 4.4 SAP Web Dispatcher Configuration for x Use the following command to create the server PSE: sapgenpse get_pse <additional_options> -p <PSE_Name> r <cert_req_file_name> -x <PIN> <Distinguished_Name> For example: sapgenpse get_pse -p SAPSSLC.pse -x password -r D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\clientcert.req "CN=WCR_35, OU=SAPLabs, OU=SAP, O=SAP, C=US" It is important to note the CN used because later on will be used as value for one of the parameter profiles in CRM/ECC. The previous command will create two files, the actual PSE file and the certificate request for signature It is possible to use the STRUST to create both. More details of both methods in the link below: Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 14

15 2. Sign certificate request by a CA. For testing purposes, in this example, the SSL test Server certificate under the SAP Trust Center in the marketplace is used, but you can use your own CA. 3. Click in SSL Test server Certificate and then in Test Now. Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 15

17 6. Import certificate request response into PSE. Obtain the root certificate of the CA that was used to sign your certificate, in this case we get it from the download area for the SAP SSL Test Server CA.Certificate. 7. Execute the following command to import the response into the PSE: sapgenpse import_own_cert <Additional_options> -p <PSE_file> -c <Cert_file> [-r <RootCA_cert_file>] -x <PIN> For example: sapgenpse import_own_cert -c D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\signedclientcert.cer -p SAPSSLC.pse -x password -r D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\getCert.cer More details on: 8. Use the following command to create a credentials file: sapgenpse seclogin <additional options> -p <PSE_Name> -x <PIN> -O [<Windows_Domain>\]<user_ID> For example: sapgenpse seclogin -p D:\usr\sap\WCR\W33\sec\SAPSSLC.pse -x password -O SAPServiceWCR Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company.

18 9. Use the following command to import the SSL root certificate or SSL server certificate from your CRM/ECC system. This will allow to establish a connection from the Web Dispatcher into the ICM of the application server..maintain_pk [<additional options>] [-a <cert_file>] [-d <number>] -p <PSE_name> [-x <PIN>] For example: sapgenpse maintain_pk -a D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\getCert.cer -p D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\SAPSSLC.pse -x password 10. Set the following parameters in the profile of the Web Dispatcher: wdisp/ssl_encrypt = 1 icm/https/forward_ccert_as_header = true icm/https/verify_client=1 wdisp/ssl_auth = 2 wdisp/ssl_cred = D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\SAPSSLC.pse 11. Use the following command to import the root certificate used to sign the HCI x.509 certificate into the SSL server PSE. sapgenpse maintain_pk [<additional options>] [-a <cert_file>] [-d <number>] -p <PSE_name> [- x <PIN>] For example: sapgenpse maintain_pk -a D:\usr\sap\WCR\W35\sec\SAPPassportCA.cer -p SAPSSLS.pse -x password 12. Restart the Web Dispatcher. 4.5 Add client root certificate from WD into SSL Server Standard 1. Call transaction STRUST 2. Open the SSL Server server Standard Step-by-Step Procedure 2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 18
