  • SAP Production Environment - Select True when you're setting up a Production environment.

  • Use j5 SAP PM Connector v2 - Select True when you want j5 to connect to SAP using the SAP Add-on Installation. Refer to j5 SAP Connector for more information.

  • Certificate Bundle Filename - If your SOAP connection uses HTTPS (recommended for security) and has a custom certificate chain (issued within your organization rather than part of the public trust network), you can use this setting to supply the required certificates. Navigate to the SSL certificate chain for j5 to connect to SOAP using HTTPS or enter the path to the file's location.

    For more details, see Certificate bundle configuration

    The certificate bundle configuration needs to point to a local file containing a Base64-encoded X.509 certificate store in PEM format, with the full chain of certificates: Root Certificate Authority, Intermediate Certificate Authority, and server certificate (in that order).

    To create such a file:

    1. Go to the HTTPS URL in your web browser. View the certificate chain.

    2. Open the Windows Certificate Store in the Microsoft Management Console. Find each relevant certificate, and select Action > All Tasks > Export.

    3. Save each certificate as a Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) file.

    4. Create a new file in a text editor, and copy the contents of the other files into it.

    Ensure that all the URLs use HTTPS. If they use HTTP, you will encounter an SSL Protocol Error because j5 will attempt to communicate with HTTPS.

Select SOAP as your connection configuration point
