.net application consuming sap Webservice with x.509 certs

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have .net application consuming sap WebService. Currently the web service authentication setup has userid/password.

Going forward we wanted to change to  x.509 based authentication.

what are the steps involved here to achieve his task? As per my understanding:

1.  .net programmer has to change the  code which will send the x.509 certificate to ECC (my question is how the .net developer read the x.509 certificate from the user PC , if he has to read the certs , from where he is going to read? how the user get this certificate in the first stage?

2. I have to import the CA root certs received from .net Server on to ABAP server using STRUST.

3. When the client request make a Webservice call,, the .net new code some how reacd x.509 send to ABAP , since we already exported .net server root cert, the ABAP server verify the user details etc received from the cert and establish the trust.

is this a workable solution or do I miss any thing here?
