• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SECC010 - Signature is from a test certificate ?

  The SAP error message SECC010, which states "Signature is from a test certificate," typically occurs when a digital signature is verified against a test certificate rather than a valid production certificate. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when dealing with secure communications, digital signatures, or electronic documents within SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Test Certificate Usage: The system is configured to use a test certificate instead of a valid production certificate. Test certificates are often used in development or testing environments but are not suitable for production use.
  Configuration Issues: The system may be incorrectly configured to point to a test certificate store or may not have the correct production certificates installed.
  Expired or Invalid Certificates: The certificate being used may have expired or been revoked, leading the system to fall back on a test certificate.
  
  Solution:
  
  Install Production Certificates: Ensure that the correct production certificates are installed in the SAP system. This may involve importing the necessary certificates into the SAP Trust Store.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that it is pointing to the correct certificate store. This can typically be done in transaction code STRUST.
  Update Certificate Paths: If the system is configured to use a specific path for certificates, ensure that this path points to the production certificates rather than test certificates.
  Verify Certificate Validity: Check the validity of the certificates being used. Ensure that they are not expired and are issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
  Testing Environment: If you are in a testing environment and intentionally using test certificates, ensure that your application logic or configuration is set to handle this appropriately, and that you are aware of the implications.
