Wild Card certificate for Web dispatcher

Hi Folks,

We are setting up our new WD i.e. of release 741 in our windows 2012 server and now we have to activate https.

Now our Network team is saying they can provide the wild card certifcate (comodo) and that need to be import in the system. Can you please guide me with the steps in this regard.

I am confused now

earlier we used to follow the below steps, but as per the network team, as we have wild card certificate (.pfx) then there is no need to create the certifcate and send it to get signed. We just need to import the certifcate and create credentials.

Install the SAP Cryptographic Library on the SAP Web Dispatcher.

• Create the SAP Web Dispatcher's PSE(s) and certificate request(s).Create an SSL server PSE if the incoming connections use SSL. Create an SSL client PSE if the outgoing connections use SSL. Create both if both connections use SSL.
• Perform the following steps for each of the PSEs you created in the previous step.
  1. Send the certificate request(s) to a CA to be signed.
  2. Import the certificate request response(s) into the PSE.
  3. Create credentials for the SAP Web Dispatcher.
• For outgoing connections that use SSL, import the CA root certificate for the CA that issued the back-end application server its SSL server certificate into the SAP Web Dispatcher's SSL client PSE.
• Set the profile parameters according to the case you are using (see the figure above).
• Restart the SAP Web Dispatcher.
• Test the connection.

I would appreciate if you can help to get a clear step of configuratuion in this regard.

Thanks & Regards,
