• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1S422 - No certificate specified ?

  The SAP error message 1S422: No certificate specified typically occurs when there is an issue with the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) configuration in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is trying to establish a secure connection but cannot find a valid SSL certificate to use for that connection.
  Causes:
  
  Missing SSL Certificate: The SSL certificate required for secure communication is not installed or configured in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The SSL configuration in the SAP system may be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to locate the certificate.
  Expired Certificate: The SSL certificate may have expired, and the system is unable to use it for secure connections.
  Profile Issues: The instance profile may not be correctly set up to point to the SSL certificate.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Install SSL Certificate:
  
  Ensure that a valid SSL certificate is installed in the SAP system. You can obtain a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) or generate a self-signed certificate for testing purposes.
  Use transaction STRUST to manage SSL certificates in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Verify the SSL configuration in the instance profile. Check the parameters related to SSL, such as icm/HTTPS/verify_client, icm/HTTPS/ssl, and icm/HTTPS/ssl_pse.
  Ensure that the correct paths to the SSL certificates are specified in the profile.
  
  
  
  Renew Expired Certificate:
  
  If the certificate has expired, renew it through the CA or generate a new one and install it in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Update Instance Profile:
  
  If the instance profile does not point to the correct SSL PSE (Personal Security Environment), update it accordingly. You can do this by editing the instance profile using transaction RZ10.
  
  
  
  Restart the SAP Instance:
  
  After making changes to the SSL configuration or installing a new certificate, restart the SAP instance to apply the changes.
