HTTPS Sender Configurations

Question

Hi All,
What are the configurations that are to be done in PI to accept an HTTPS request from an external system  and send back a response . The receiving side would be and SAP system - BAPI. So it is a Synchronous interface .
Do i have to get the certificate of encyrption used by  the sending system  and load it in XI BOX using the transaction STRUST.
Do i have to create a seperate service in smicm for accpeting an incoming HTTPS connection
How far is the URL going to different from that of a plain HTTP Connection
What else has to be done
Please give your suggestions
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul

HI Rahul
You need to have a service user that can post on the URL
You can use both HTTPS without client authentication as well as with authentication.
Posting to the URL don't need to install certificates.
URL will be similar to Plain HTTP
Queries entering the plain HTTP adapter must have the following syntax:
http://<hostname:port>/<path>?<query-string>
The query string contains the following data:
&#9679;      Sender namespace ?namespace=<namespace>
&#9679;      Sender interface &interface=<interface>
&#9679;      Sender service &service=<service>
&#9679;      Sender party (optional) &party=<party>
&#9679;      Sender agency (optional) &agency=<agency>
&#9679;      Sender scheme (optional) &scheme=<scheme>
If you do not enter values for agency and scheme, the following default values are used:
&#9675;       agency=http://sap.com/xi/XI
&#9675;       scheme=XIParty
&#9679;      Quality of Service (BE, EO, or EOIO) (optional) &qos=<EO|BE|EOIO>
