SNC connection - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  SNC (Secure Network Communications) is a security protocol developed by SAP that provides secure authentication and encryption for communication between SAP systems. It is used to establish a secure connection between two SAP systems, such as between an SAP system and a client application. The SNC connection is based on the Client/Server Technology (BC-CST) component. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use SNC, you must first configure the SNC connection in the SAP system. This includes setting up the SNC parameters, such as the encryption algorithm and key length, as well as the authentication method. Once the SNC connection is configured, you can then establish a secure connection between two SAP systems. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring an SNC connection, it is important to ensure that the encryption algorithm and key length are set to the highest level of security available. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the authentication method used is secure and reliable.
