Solid State Logic SSL 2+ (2 Plus) USB Audio Interface - 24 bit/192 kHz, 2-in 4-out, with SSL Legacy 4K Analogue Enhancement and Included SSL Software Production Pack

Product Information

Self-signed certificates and CSRs are generated and stored locally. But for SSL.com to actually issue a certificate, you must submit a request using this form.

This wizard allows a user to import a private key for use when generating a new SSL certificate (code-signing or otherwise). I postponed our SAPCryptolib PSE configuration process to build the CA structure. Now, the server certificate is signed, I can import it into my system. First, I’ll concatenate the root CA certificate, intermediate certificate, and my server certificate into a file called sap_sandbox.chain.txt. Key generation is the basis of a certificate. You already know this part: openssl genrsa -out intermediateUsersCA/testuser.key.pem 4096

PSE creation

To export a certificate without its accompanying private key, you must select “No, do not export the private key” in the “Certificate Export Wizard”, as it is shown in the following image. Once the layout is known, then the creation process can be started from the root CA. The directory structure below can help you keep things organized. mkdir CA I don’t want a self-signed certificate, so I need to generate a CSR: openssl req -key intermediateUsersCA/testuser.key.pem -new -sha256 -out intermediateUsersCA/testuser.csr.pem The wizard opens STRUST transaction. Let’s open the SNC SAPCryptolib section, switch to edit mode, import the certificate in the lower part of the window and add it to the trust list.

This should add our Intermediate Users CA (OU=Users) to the SNC SAPCryptolib trusted list. The PSE should be saved after this operation. SAP supports the Secure Network Communication Protocol (SNC), which is based on SSL. However, it must be explicitly configured to enable secure communication between the SAP GUI and the SAP server. I will try to explain how to do this. The first step is to prepare certificates on the SAP side. For this I need a Certification Authority (CA), which has to be built from scratch in a very simplified version. This will make it possible to encrypt the communication between the client and the server. Then I will look at the possibility of authenticating the client with a certificate, which will provide SSO functionality.Consider entering a clear and concise Action Name that best describes the function of the new action you are creating. When you try to execute this action you will have to select it from the actions list, by this name. The first step is just a short description. I’ll leave out the screenshot. The second step sets some profile parameters. So far it’s the same as always, but now I need to have it signed by Intermediate Users CA, but as a client certificate. This requires a small additional configuration file. Let’s save it as intermediateUsersCA/client.cnf: nsCertType = client The process is identical with importing a private key to generate a normal SSL certificate, so please refer to section 9.3 for more details. 9.6.4 Confirm CSR The p12 file generated in the previous step can be imported into the user’s personal keystore using certmgr. It’s a similar operation to the root certificate import that was done earlier.

To use this functionality you must first insert your USB token in the USB port of your computer and proceed to select Import Certificate – USB Token from the Code Signing menu. The key has been generated. Here procedure differs from the Root CA, so I need to generate signing request: openssl req -key intermediateServersCA/interServers.key.pem -new -sha256 -out intermediateServersCA/interServers.csr.pem This menu item will install an EV code signing certificate in a USB token device. Please note that this requires the Safenet client to be installed in your system. Note: for working with EV code signing and document signing certificates in YubiKey FIPS tokens, please use the YubiKey menu. If you need to include the private key in the exported bundle, read on. Otherwise, you can jump to the next section for instructions on how to export a certificate without a private key. 9.1.1 Export with a private keyI’m not a fan of enabling SNC with this wizard, but it’s fine for the first time. Next time, you’ll probably configure the steps manually with full control. But for now, let’s use the SNCWIZARD transaction. This button allows the user to perform automated certificate information validation for DV certificates. Of course, the system needs to know how to map the client to the existing user account. This mapping is defined in transaction SU01. The SNC tab contains the required options. The most important one is SNC name, where you need to enter the value copied from SAP Secure Login Client by selecting the Copy SNC name to clipboard option. The SNC string starts with p:. Following the credentials, is the Pre-deploy Commands field. In this text field you can type normal Bash commands. SSL Manager will take these commands and execute them in the remote server (over the SSH connection) before the deployment procedure begins. Similarly, the Post-deploy Commands field accepts Bash commands that will be executed after the certificates have been deployed. The pre- and post-deployment commands feature allows you to have complete control over the deployment process.

When you are not logged in your SSL.com account in SSL Manager, the account menu only allows you to log in or exit the application. In the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window, Select the name of the server where you installed the certificate. The Code Signing menu allows users to create and import certificates for signing. In addition, it provides an easy interface to sign executable files. 4.1 Generate Code Signing Certificate I hope this post was interesting or at least useful. Yes, it is quite long, while I wanted to show as comprehensive and logical as possible process of configuring certificate-based encryption and SSO. It could not be done without the lengthy CA-related part, which is usually beyond the responsibility of Basis administrators. However, even when you are not responsible for something, it is good to know how it works.For example, to validate using a CSR hash, you must select the HTTP CSR Hash validation method using the relevant option box and use the information in the form to create the correct hash file in your server (i.e. /var/www/html/.well-known/pki-validation/.txt) that contains the expected information. You’ll repeat steps 9 – 18 until all certificate files have been imported into their corresponding certificate store(Trusted Root, Intermediate, Personal) . In case of any errors, please refer to the appendix for troubleshooting information. 4.3 Import Certificate – USB Token First you must select the type of the certificate you need us to issue. You can find more information about SSL.com‘s certificates here or an introduction to the different types of certificates here.
