  The SAP error message FINS_MAP005 indicates that a required client certificate was not provided in the HTTP request. This error typically occurs in scenarios where secure communication is established using HTTPS and client authentication is required.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Client Certificate: The client (which could be an application or a user) did not provide a valid client certificate when making the HTTP request to the SAP system.
  Configuration Issues: The SAP system may be configured to require client certificates for authentication, but the client is not set up to send one.
  Certificate Expiry: The client certificate may have expired or been revoked.

  Solution:
  
  
  Provide a Client Certificate:
  
  Ensure that the client application or user is configured to send a valid client certificate with the HTTP request.
  The certificate should be issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) that the SAP system recognizes.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  Check the SSL settings in the SAP system to confirm that client authentication is enabled.
  
  
  
  Update or Renew Certificates:

  Ensure that the certificate chain is complete and that all intermediate certificates are also trusted by the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Verify Trust Store:
  
  Check the trust store configuration on the SAP server to ensure that it includes the CA that issued the client certificate.

  Testing:
