SSL / TLS settings for SAP NetWeawer

Written by

A lot of SAP product such as NetWeaver using sapcrypto / commoncrypto library (sapcryptolib.dll or sapcryptolib.so) for SSL / TLS and encryption.

SSL / TLS client configuration.

ssl/client_ciphersuites = 150:PFS:HIGH::EC_P256:EC_HIGH

SSL / TLS server configuration. 

ssl/ciphersuites = 135:PFS:HIGH::EC_P256:EC_HIGH

You need at least 8.4.40 sapcrpytolib for SNI (Server Name Indication) support. Before SNI protocol client request certificate with domain IP instead of domain name. SNI used for hosting multiple site on same port with encryption.

ssl/client_sni_enabled = TRUE

We need updated kernel for using this parameter, details are in this note.

Also you can set these parameters as OS environment variable.

SAPSSL_CLIENT_CIPHERSUITES = 135:PFS:HIGH::EC_P256:EC_HIGH
SAPSSL_CLIENT_SNI_ENABLED = TRUE

yum install git2u


Postgres


Download rpm package, check this list for other versions.

wget https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm

psql

ALTER USER mydbuser WITH PASSWORD 'mynewpass';

\q

These service using my ram always. So I am using VM for environment which are not used often. I created VM for new hybris versions for testing (docker cannot pause / resume systems yet). I try some scenarios for my best hybris development environment.


VM: OS version Centos 7, Java 8 u162, MySQL 5.7.21 and hybris version 6.6.






Enviroment

Hybris files in guest vm
