How to create certificate with openssl based on SAP certificate request

[marcin_cholewczuk]

Hi all,

I would like to set https on my test system (Netweaver 7.31 with ABAP stack). I've set all relevant system parameters and copied relevant files. Now I want to create certificate. I've decideded on openssl.

1. I've gotten certificate request file from STRUST for SSL server node - filename: sap.req

2. I've created private key. As administrator I run:

C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\openssl genrsa -out C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\sap.key 1024

3. I'm creating certificate. As administrator:

C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\sap.req -signkey C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\sap.key -out C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\sapreq.crt

When I 'm trying to import request (button Import Certificate Response) I'm getting an error message "Cannot import certificate response".

What am I doing wrong?

Best Regards

Ok, it turned out that, what I already have in  STRUST is a self signed certificate, so I don't need to use openssl. Just simply choose certificate and press button "Add to Certificate list" is enough.
