Dear Expert,
I have developed bunch of scenarios, all are synchronous ABAP proxy to HTTP_AAE with bank on PI 7.4(dual stack). Bank web server is HTTPS enabled server. Our ABAP developments are still in progress also we have few issue in connection from ECC to PI.but that is not the focus of discussion here.
we want to do the handshake to check the connectivity with bank on their HTTPS URL from PI. Bank has provided the privet key for SSL from their server and corresponding public key they have maintained on their server. I have imported the private key under NWA -> Certificates -> Key Storage -> TrustedCA->Import Entry->Entry Type->PKCS#12->select the SSL.p12 file->import , also I have selected the option to "Use SSL" in HTTP_AAE receiver communication channel and selected the corresponding entryin "keystore view" and "keystore entry". All these I have done in our DEV system, and we are trying to connect our PI dev to bank Dev server.
Questions
- Is there any specific steps to do the handshake with third party HTTPS(bank in my case) server? if not, how can we just test the HTTPS connectivity by using the SSL private installed on our PI server, without running the complete scenarios. Our PI has been installed on UNIX, and "telnet https url 443" is working, as network team has opened the HTTPS port.
- We have not enabled the SSL technically on our PI server, and we have not installed any generated certificate from our PI server. Moreover, we have not made our PI url as "https:hostname:port" as we just need to communicate with bank by using their private key. Do you guys think we should enable the SSL? if yes, please explain why.
- What is the best practice to test the connection with third party having HTTPS URL? how can I just assure HTTPS communication is working fine, before testing my actual scenarios.
Thanks for helping always.

Farhan
