• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_WSP2612 - Ensure 'https' protocol is set when using X.509 SSL client certificate ?

  The SAP error message SRT_WSP2612 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the HTTPS protocol when using X.509 SSL client certificates. This error typically arises in scenarios where secure communication is required, such as when integrating with web services or when using SAP's Web Service Runtime (WSR).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The system is attempting to establish a secure connection using an X.509 SSL client certificate, but the URL being used does not specify the HTTPS protocol.
  The configuration settings for the web service or the service consumer are incorrect, leading to the use of HTTP instead of HTTPS.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Service URL:
  
  Ensure that the URL for the web service is using the https:// protocol instead of http://. This is crucial for establishing a secure connection.
  
  
  
  Update Configuration:
  
  If you are using a service consumer or a service provider configuration, make sure that all endpoints are correctly set to use HTTPS.
  In the SAP system, navigate to the relevant configuration settings (e.g., SOAMANAGER for web service configuration) and verify that the service URLs are set to HTTPS.
  
  
  
  SSL Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the SSL configuration is correctly set up in your SAP system. This includes:
  
  Valid SSL certificates installed on the server.
  Proper trust relationships established between the client and server.
  Correctly configured SSL client settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the connection again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Logs and Traces:
  
  If the issue persists, check the SAP application logs (transaction SLG1) and the HTTP trace (transaction ST01) for more detailed error messages that can provide additional insights into the problem.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  X.509 Certificates: These are digital certificates that use the X.509 public key infrastructure (PKI) standard to provide a secure way to authenticate users and devices.
  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.
  SAP Web Service Runtime (WSR): This is a component of SAP that allows for the creation and consumption of web services, often requiring secure communication protocols.
  
  By ensuring that the HTTPS protocol is correctly configured and that all necessary SSL settings are in place, you should be able to resolve the SRT_WSP2612 error.
