Nonetheless you would like to have some work done in advanced like for instance request and sign up the SSL certificates.

You simply have a second alternative other than the one proposed by SAP.However I will try to give you next several reasons which for me justify this blog: And you probably right and do not need to lose your time reading through this blog. Furthermore, if you know how this process works using those SAP tools, or even though you are not, you should be wondering why I do need to bring OpenSSL into the scene to do something I already can do without it. I have to say that you can generate SSL certificates right away using tools delivered by SAP: transaction STRUST for ABAP, command line program sapgenpse or the Key Storage Service for Java. Thus, if you stick around, this is indeed what I am going to show you in this blog following as pragmatic way as possible.

You probably did know already but for those of you who did not yet you can generate your Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates for SAP systems using the well-known OpenSSL suite.
