HTTPS calls to HTTP_AAE sender channel

Hello Guys,

We have got a requirement to send HTTPS calls to the HTTP_AAE sender channel.

I have done the SSL configurations as per the link below:

http://scn.sap.com/community/pi-and-soa-middleware/blog/2013/05/13/believe-it-or-not-ssl-enabling-for-your-pi-731-ehp1java-only-is-a-cake-walk-now

I was able to test this channel through "SOAPUI" tool when SSL configurations were not there in PI with the below url(kind of):

http://ABC:57000/HttpAdapter/HttpMessageServlet?interfaceNamespace=ABC&interface=ABC&senderService=ABC&qos=BE

However, when I changed it to HTTPs because of the SSL configurations in PI, its giving me network related error.

https://ABC:57001/HttpAdapter/HttpMessageServlet?interfaceNamespace=ABC&interface=ABC&senderService=ABC&qos=BE

Please, would you be able to provide a clue how can I test my configurations for this sender channel with SSL configurations?

Note: I cannot test end to end until I move my changes to QA. Our DEV environment is not open for the vendor and before moving to QA I want to make sure that HTTPs communication with HTTP_AAE would be successful with the vendor by using the new URL.

https://ABC:57001/HttpAdapter/HttpMessageServlet?interfaceNamespace=ABC&interface=ABC&senderService=ABC&qos=BE

Regards,

Simran
