Password visibility in communication channel

Dear experts,
is it possible to show the passwords stored in the communication channels?
As the XI access is limited to employees who have the right to see the access data for the other systems, it would be useful to see the passwords in the communication channels instead of ******.
Best regards,
David

is it possible to show the passwords stored in the communication channels?
Where you want to show the passwords?
You can write ABAP program to retrieve the password as it is stored in the PI DB. I am not too sure if you can use the Directory API to retrieve passwords, although I have used it to retrieve configuration data from the channels but never tried for passwords

  • JDBC adapter type  not visible in Communication Channel

    Hi All,
    I have deployed JDBC driver according to http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00b4a020-4ae6-2c10-5a95-fed4ad9a4b60?QuickLink=index&… .
    Driver deployed successfully and I have checked it in folder \usr\sap\xxx\DVEBMGS30\j2ee\cluster\bin\ext\com.sap.aii.adapter.lib\lib and it's found ok. But this adapter type  not showing in Communication Channel only RFC and SOAP are showing there. I have restarted the server also. Can any one tell me where the problem is?

  • CC not visible in RWB-Communication channel monitoring

    Hi All,
    Communication channel created in the directory is not visible in
    Communication channel monitoring of RWB. I refresh ABAP cache, SXI_CACHE,
    CPA cache. Still its not visible. Deleted and created again. Still no use.
    None of the communication channels newly created are visible in RWB. Could anyone suggest some ideas to resolve this issue.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Just to be sure a basic question to start with : You do activate your channels in the ID after creation ?

  • Runtime Communication Channel Password

    Hopefully, I am posting this in the correct Forum.
    We have a new application, Password Vault, where the company would like to change all passwords on a daily basis. Password Vault has a Java API that will allow me to obtain the password for a specific account. What I would like to know is whether there is a way in PI to create a module that will be called by the Communication Channle when it requires the password which will aloow me to dynamically pass the password to the Communication Channel.
    In short, I would like to step in front of all runtime password requests and push the current password to the Communication Channel.
    Is this possible and/or where can I go to find more information?

Everytime a Communication Channel needed a passwrod it would request it from Password Vault. We would not care if they changed them once a day or once a minute since we would no longer have any responsibility for managing passwords...we would simply use whatever password was the current one.

    Well, an even better approach is not to use passwords at all - but use SNC or X.509 Client Certificates (SSL) for authentication.
    As long as you are using passwords, there is the risk of password locks that will result from exceeding the number of permissible failed password logon attempts. Such failing attempts might not necessarily indicate a hacking attempt but could also result from a failure of your password provisioning solution. Especially in the case of inter-system communication the number of logon attempts per (small) time unit is fairly high. So, even if you run only shortly out of sync (regarding passwords) you might suffer from the resulting locks. So, better do not use passwords if it's avoidable.

  • Runtime Update of Communication Channel Password

    I posted this question in the Security Forum as well as here since I was not sure which was appropriate.

    Ok, we have conceded that until SAP makes a change that allows some sort of hook into the Communication Channel so that we can handle the password we will not be able to implement a "pull" type of change.
    We have code to extract and log Configuration Scenarios, Communications Channels and Interface Determinations. We also have some code modeled after what Bill Li has done to create a Change List and modify the Communication Channel.
    Mostly we need to be able to set a Communication Channel Inactive/Active and change the password.
    The part we are struggling with is the role of the Restricted Communication Channel and how to get the information from and existing Communication Channel into the Restricted Communication Channel which is the only thing we can add to the Change List.
    It seems like there should be some relatively simple way to do the following:
    1. Retrieve a Communication Channel using the API
    2. Build a Restricted Communication Channel object with all of the information in the Communication Channel...we know the password is always returned as null and can handle that issue.
    3. Modify whatever value we want modified
    4. Create a Change List
    5. Add the Restricted Communication Channel to the Change List
    6. Activate the Change List.
    We have no real problems with any of the above except for 2.. How do we build a complete Restricted Communication Channel from the retrieved Communication Channel?

  • Communication channel not visible in RWB

    Hello everyone,
    I am not able to view the communication channel in RWB. This is a HTTP sender . i have imported it but still it is not visible in  RWB. what could be the reason ?
    Regards,
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    In PI there are basically two types of adapter, adapter engine based and Integration engine based. Integration engine based adapters are HTTP, XI and IDOC. These adapters can be monitored from ABAP stack means from SXI_MONITOR and adapter engine based can be monitored from RWB. Due to this differentiation you HTTP adatper is not visitble in RWB. But you can monitor it from ABAP stack.

    Hi,
    In the SOAP Receiver adapter, you can only store 10 userid/password combinations via Authorization Keys. These are called via Dynamic Configuration via technical name TAuthKey. In your case, for it to work, you need:
    1. 2 business components/2 SOAP receiver communication channels.
    2. 1 receiver determination with xPath for username to determine correct business component
    3. 1 interface determination
    4. 2 receiver agreements (one for each cc)
    Hope this helps,
    Mark

  • AS2 adapter not visible in Receiver Communication Channel (Adapter Type)

    Hi,

  • Process not visible in the Communication Channel Monitor

    Hi there
    I have a scenario where I create multiple text files with my message mapping. First I created the scenario with a single file and tested it. It worked so then I changed the Interface Determination to Enhanced and the necessary occurrences to unbounded in my IM and MM. Now if I execute the scenario it shows a successful status in the SXMB_MONI but does not create the flat file. If I go to my Communication Channel Monitor it does not show it there so it did not reach it. Is there some other ting I needed to change for this multiple file scenario?
    Thanks,
    Jan

    Hi again
    I sorted out the issue but now I'm getting something weird. In my source Message Mapping I have:
    Destination
    --Name (0-Unbounded)
    Payload
    --Details (0-Unbounded)
    And my Target mapping I have
    Main_Structure (0-Unbounded)
    --FileDetails (0-1)
    So the Destination determines the number of files and the payload goes to the File Details.
    This does not work for some reason but if I change my mapping to a fixed number of files it works. For example: If I create a UDF that creates 2 arrays and map it to my Main_Structure it creates 2 files but it I map my Destination node with X amount of lines to my Main_Structure It shows fine in SXMB but does not show at all in the component monitor for the receiver CC and in my message monitor it shows "On Hold"

  • Configuring a Communication Channel for an AE other than the default IS

    Configuring a Communication Channel for an Adapter Engine other than the default engine.
    See:  help.sap.com for Communication Channel http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1b/d5ef3b1ad56d4fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    It states under 'Adapter Configuration', that you can specify the Adapter Engine you want to use in the Adapter Engine dropdown box.
    I have activated the XI components on my ERP system using transaction SICF, but what do I have to do to make the other adapter engines show up in the dropdown list when configuring an adapter?
    Maybe some background would be helpful:  This is for a scenario that will send a file from an external system to one of the ERP systems in our landscape.  BUT, the system admins have decided to revoke our FTP accounts (because they have their reasons), so I need to create a File Adapter that will drop the file on the file system of that ERP system, due to visibility I want to use the integrated Adapter Engine that comes with the ERP system, but need to know how/what I'm missing in setting up this scenario.

    Hi Anesh,
    >>>>but what do I have to do to make the other adapter engines show up in the dropdown list when configuring an adapter?
    in order to use some other adapter engine you
    have to install it first by dafault only one
    (central) adapter engine is used and it is all
    most clients need
    if you'd like to use some other adapter engine
    (decentralized for example) have a look at thid guide:

    HI Siva
    Are you trying to send Email from any file send by system or Read by PI and send as Email.
    Please describe your Scenario.
    If your email is generated from the content provided by Integraton engine use Message protocol XI PAYLOAD instead of XIALL.
    Using Authentication you change from Plain to CRAM-MD5. then it might not give any error
    Your URL should be SMTP://mailhost.company.com
    For reference check Help URL

    Hi Vishu,
    Find out in what encoding the file is in. for that download Notepad++ and open the file with in.
    In Encoding tab you will see the encoding format.
    1. If its not UTF-8 or ANSI then you should set the correct encoding in Sender File channel.
    2. Check for BOM characters which will not be visible directoly.
    3. Use Notepad++ to convert the content to HEX and check for hidden values. i bet there will be some Encoding BOM in the file which is creating problem while picking the file.
    Since you are using SWIFT module: try to validate the XML file using Altova XML and check weather is correct.

    I want get response from webservice.Please help me.
    Thanks,
    Gopi.

    Hi,
    Make sure that you have specified the proper host and port values, in the text box that appears when you check the configure proxy check box(in receiver soap adapter).
    Looks like the webservice requires a proxy authentication.
    Select the check box "configure proxy user authentication"(in receiver soap adapter) and provide the correct username and password.

  • SSL in Soap receiver communication channel

    Hi,
    I have a webservices that works fine in Soap UI. The webservice provider uses the SSL, but works like a web browser, doesn´t need to install a certificate before access the webservice.
    But when i try to use SAP PI using the soap receiver communication channel, the soap adater return the follow message:
    "Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier"
    I read some thing about using axis to solve this problem but I can´t find anything to configure this scenario.
    If someone had this problem and solved it, i will apreciate the help.

    I Have 2 communication channel:
    1) This works fine
    Adapter Type: SOAP
    Receiver
    Transport Protocol: HTTP
    Message Protocol: SOAP 1.1
    Adapter Engine: Integration Server
    Target URL: https://gw-homologa.serasa.com.br/wsacheixml/wsacheixml.asmx
    SOAP Action: https://sitenet05.serasa.com.br/WSAcheiXML/WSAcheiXML/ConsultaAchei
    2) This doesn´t work
    Adapter Type: SOAP
    Receiver
    Transport Protocol: HTTP
    Message Protocol: SOAP 1.1
    Adapter Engine: Integration Server
    Authentication: Basic
    User/Password
    Target URL: https://treina.spc.org.br/spc/remoting/ws/consulta/consultaWebService
    SOAP Action: blank
    Both are https and the certificate is sent at communication time (There isn´t a certificate to install in the Key Store in Visual Administrator)
    I read that Axis manage this kind of integration with webservices, because the certificate must be installed at the moment of sending http request.
    I don´t know why the first interface works fine an the another doesn´t work, then I´m trying with Axis.
    In the SOAP UI both interfaces work fine.
    Thanks
