Hi Experts,
I need some expert opinion on enabling SSL using SOAP Web Services.
We currently have a PI 7.31 system where a few interfaces are built using protocols other than HTTP ( Proxies, RFCs JDBC etc.)
However for next developments, we need to go ahead with web services for which client demands SSL communication. Now I have been browsing to material on HELP. SAP and SDN blogs but still need some clarification.
1. Can we enable SSL communication selectively for some interfaces or once we enable SSL ( HTTPS), all our interfaces have to be SSL communication enabled ? In the other words can some Web services access PI using port 50000 and other using 50001 at the same time ?
2. When we enable SSL by performing all activities, does URL of our PI ( and SLD etc.) changes to HTTPS with change in port number ?? If yes. won't all other systems get impacted by this single interface requirement ? I think this shouldn't happen however want expert opinion.
3. Do we need to change anything with existing interfaces if we enable SSL on PI ? ( RFCs and JDBCs, Proxies etc.)
4. Our SOAP sender channel doesn't show security options ( Like HTTPS Without client authentication , HTTPS with client authentication etc. ). We found same symptoms in note - 1669840 - PI 7.30 SOAP Adapter Sender: Inbound Security Checks Missing. However note seems to be applicable for 7.3 . Can the patches and downloads be considered for 7.31 as well ?
In case any question is not clear I am happy to be more verbose.
Thanks..
regards,
Omkar.
