Hello Danu,

this is not a question of advantage or disadvantage of encrypted ports. It does not depend if you want to use these ports or not; as soon as you activate SNC on the server, the server will open and use encrypted ports automatically for the encrypted traffic. Why do you have this question? Where you have found the information about encrypted ports? sapdpNNs is not used anymore, it was used in the old releases until basis release 4.6C.

Dear Danu,

please have a look at the documentation:

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4e515a43-0e01-0010-2da1-9bcc452c2...

which says, that there are no ports sapdpNNs and it suggests to check SNC user guide for further details.

Hello Danu,

what exactly do you need to know about working of encrypted ports? You may have a look also at the gateway documentation:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/ed/fb958dd978458e99168d43f408665e/frameset.htm


"

The following profile parameters are relevant for the gateway settings:

·  snc/enable

For a gateway to accept SNC-protected connections, you need to set the profile parameter snc/enable to the value 1. The gateway then knows that an SNC environment is in operation and takes the following precautions:

¡  In addition to the standard port (sapgw<nn>), it opens a secure port (sapgw<nn>s), where it accepts only connections that use SNC protection.

○  It starts programs only when SNC protection for the communication is used. You may explicitly allow the starting of programs without using SNC protection by setting the parameter snc/permit_insecure_start (see the description below)."
