Hello,
We are attempting to implement encryption of communication between a user desktop (SAPGUI/SAP NWBC) and SAP ABAP Application Server (SAP ECC 6.0 EHP7).
We have tried the following:
1. Download SAP Secure Login Library and configure it on ABAP Application Server
2. Configure it as per guide available on help.sap.com/nwsso.
3. Setup SNC on SAP ABAP server as per the guide and standard SNC parameters.
4. Download SAP SNC Client Encryption software from service.sap.com/swdc -> Installs and Upgrades ->Browse our Download Catalog -> SAP Cryptopgraphic Software -> SNC Client Encryption 1.0 -> Installation (Note : We don't have license for SAP NW Single Sign on available in the path SAP Netweaver and Complementary Products as we don't intend to use SSO).
5. Installed SAP SNC Client Encryption
6. Configured SAP Logon pad (SAP GUI 7.3 being used) entries to respond to SNC details, however checked the box which says, SNC logon with userid/password (no SSO required).
Everytime a login is attempted, we get the following in our SAPGUI trace:
*** ERROR => SncPEstablishContext() failed for target='p:CN=CT054577@xyz.com' [sncxxall.c 3386]
*** ERROR => SncPEstablishContext()==SNCERR_GSSAPI [sncxxall.c 3352]
GSS-API(maj): No credentials were supplied
Unable to establish the security context
target="p:CN=CT054577@xyz.com"
<<- SncProcessOutput()==SNCERR_GSSAPI
There are couple of threads which point to similar issue, however one thread is unanswered and the other thread involves integration with Active Directory and hence may not be applicable for us. Since, we are not integrating with Active Directory (Kerberos Integration), nor do we want to use SSO, we simpy want to encrypt the communication channel between user desktop and SAP Application Server.
Not sure if we are doing the right thing and hence want to know if its possible in the first place.
Any help would be useful.

Siddhesh
