Can you provide a step-by-step guide on how to create and exchange SSL certificates?
To ensure that the connection between the Jira system and the SAP system is secure, you need to export the certificates from Jira and import them into the SAP system.
Instructions
Here's the guide on how to export a server certificate from Jira Server:
Ensure that you have administrative privileges for the Jira Server.
Open a web browser and access the Jira Server URL.
Click on the dropdown arrow next to your profile picture in the top right corner and select "System".
In the left-hand menu, look for the "Security" category and click on it.
Scroll down to the "Server Security" section and locate the "Certificate" option.
Depending on your configuration, you may have two options:
a. "Export Certificate (PEM Format)": Click on the "Export" button to download the certificate. Save the file to a desired location on your computer.
b. "View Certificate Chain (PEM Format)": Click on the link to view a page displaying the certificate chain. Copy the content of the certificate chain and save it in a text file with the ".pem" extension.
If you already have the Jira certificate, you need to import it into the correct certificate store element in STRUST to establish a secure RFC connection.
Follow these steps to insert the Jira certificate into STRUST:
Open the STRUST transaction in the SAP system.
In STRUST, you will see a tree structure with certificate hierarchies and trust anchors.
Locate the certificate store used for SSL communication with Jira. Typically, this would be the "SSL Client (Standard)" certificate store.
Double-click on the certificate store to open it.
Click on "Insert Certificate" in the toolbar.
Select the Jira certificate you want to insert into STRUST. This can be either a certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) or a self-signed certificate.
Click "OK" to insert the certificate.
Verify that the certificate has been successfully inserted into the certificate store and is marked as "Valid".
Restart the SAP system service to apply the changes.
By inserting the Jira certificate into the correct certificate store in STRUST, you ensure that the SAP system recognizes the Jira certificate as a trusted certificate, allowing for a secure RFC connection.
Here's a guide on how to establish a secure RFC connection to Jira using transaction code "SM59" in an SAP system:
Log in to the SAP system with administrative privileges.
Open transaction code "SM59".
From the "RFC Target" dropdown menu, select "Create" and click on the green plus icon.
Enter a name for the RFC destination, such as "JIRA_CONNECTION", and select connection type "3 - Connection to External Program".
Click the "Continue" button.
Enter the technical settings for the connection to Jira:
Remote Connection: Select connection type "T - TCP/IP Connection".
Partner: Enter the IP address or hostname of Jira.
Service/Instance: Enter the port through which Jira is accessible. Typically, this is port 443 for a secure SSL connection.
Firewall: Specify firewall settings if required.
Click the "Continue" button.
Enter the login credentials for the Jira connection:
Logon Data: Enter the username and password for authentication to Jira.
Communication Security: Select the "SSL" option to establish a secure connection to Jira.
Click the "Continue" button.
Review the connection settings and click the "Apply" button.
Test the RFC connection by clicking the "Connection Test" button. Ensure that the connection can be established successfully.
By following these steps, you will have established a secure RFC connection to Jira in your SAP system. You can utilize this connection for exchanging data and information between the SAP system and Jira.
