Certificates can be used both with SAP solutions such as the SAP Business Connector, the SAP Web Application server, or the SAP Enterprise Portal, and with other web servers. The certificates are issued by the accredited TC Trust Center and can be ordered from the SAP Support Portal. This service is available worldwide to SAP customers. For more information, see the SAP SSL server certificates page. For SAP customers, SAP SSL Test Server Certificates are available free of charge.

If you want to use the SAP Business Connector with 128 Bit-encrypted SSL, you have to apply separately. You can find further information on the Downloads page of SAP Business Connector.
