Hello Nidhi,

i hope my answer is useful for you.

When you Installing a third-party SSL certificate for the Web Client in SAP HANA you need to check below several steps. 

1. Obtain SSL Certificate:
Acquire an SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). This typically includes a private key, certificate, and intermediate CA certificates.

2. Upload Certificates to SAP HANA:
Upload the SSL certificate files to the SAP HANA server. This may involve copying the certificate, private key, and intermediate certificates to a secure location on the server.

3. Access SAP HANA Cockpit:
Open SAP HANA Cockpit in a web browser using the following URL:

```text
https://<HANA_SERVER>:43<INSTANCE_NUMBER>/sap/hana/xs/admin/
```

Replace `<HANA_SERVER>` with your SAP HANA server's hostname or IP, and `<INSTANCE_NUMBER>` with your SAP HANA instance number.

4. Navigate to Security Settings:
Inside SAP HANA Cockpit, navigate to "Configuration" and then "Security Configuration."

5. Enable SSL:
Check the box to enable SSL and provide the paths to the SSL certificate, private key, and intermediate certificates that you uploaded earlier.

6. Save and Restart:
Save the changes and restart the SAP HANA system for the new SSL configuration to take effect.

7. Update Web Client URLs:
Update the Web Client URLs to use the "https" protocol. Ensure that any references to the Web Client in your environment use the updated URLs.

8. Test Connectivity:
Verify the SSL configuration by accessing the Web Client using the new secure URL. Ensure that there are no certificate errors and that the connection is secure.

Always refer to the official SAP HANA documentation for your specific version to ensure accurate and detailed instructions. Additionally, consider consulting your SAP support resources or system administrator for guidance tailored to your environment.

Thank You

Hi Nidhi Singh,

Many thanks for your reply. I have successfully installed certificate for web client. However, there is issue that I cannot update SSL certificate for SLD by referring to SAP Note: 2046101. The problem is I could not map the external address for SLD in system landscape directory. Hence, I could not access web client form public after redirected to SLD control Center Previously until version 10 PL02, we still can map external mapping for SLD and update third party certificate in HANA server. Could you please advise how can it be done in SP 2308?I have attached screenshot for your reference.

Thank yousld.png
