• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_TRANSIENT_LP005 - Only https is allowed for X509 authentication method ?

  The SAP error message SRT_TRANSIENT_LP005 indicates that there is an issue with the communication settings for X.509 certificate authentication. Specifically, this error occurs when a non-HTTPS (HTTP) connection is attempted for a service that requires X.509 authentication, which only supports secure HTTPS connections.
  Cause:
  
  Protocol Mismatch: The service is configured to use X.509 authentication, which mandates the use of HTTPS, but the request is being made over HTTP.
  Service Configuration: The service endpoint may be incorrectly configured to accept HTTP instead of HTTPS.
  Client Configuration: The client making the request may not be set up to use HTTPS.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change the URL to HTTPS: Ensure that the URL used to access the service is using the HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP. This is the most straightforward solution.
  
  
  Check Service Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP system where the service is defined.
  Check the configuration of the service in the SOAMANAGER or relevant configuration tool.
  Ensure that the endpoint is set to use HTTPS.
  
  
  
  Client Configuration:
  
  If you are using a client application to call the service, ensure that it is configured to use HTTPS.
  Update any hardcoded URLs in the client application to use HTTPS.
  
  
  
  SSL Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the SSL certificates are correctly installed and configured on the SAP server.
  Verify that the server is set up to accept HTTPS connections and that the necessary ports (usually 443 for HTTPS) are open.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the connection again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  X.509 Certificates: These are digital certificates that use the X.509 public key infrastructure (PKI) standard to provide authentication and encryption.
  HTTPS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of HTTP that uses SSL/TLS to provide a secure communication channel over a computer network.
  SOAMANAGER: This is the SAP tool used for managing web services and their configurations, including security settings.
  
  Additional Considerations:
  
  If you continue to experience issues after making the changes, consider checking the SAP logs for more detailed error messages that may provide further insight into the problem.
