[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have applied new support pack on my system. But after that there is a new tab named SNC.

In this SNC tab there is some red mark like

SNC is not active on this application serve
Unsecure logon not allowed (snc/accept_insecure_gui)
Canonical name not determined

plz suggest.

Hi,

If you have applied the recent Basis patch, this tab would appear. This is part of SU01 screen.

If you have enabled SNC in your application server that warning will not appear.

You can ingore this.

pleas go thru Note # 999476.

P.S. Award points if useful.

Regards,

Hello Ankit,

You must have applied Basis package 12 or 14 I guess,it is after this that SNC tab gets activated.

SNC is used for secure network communications and u need to enable it

"SNC is a software layer in the SAP system architecture that provides an interface to an external security product. With SNC, you can strengthen the security of your SAP system by implementing additional security functions that SAP systems do not directly provide (for example, the use of smart cards for user authentication).

SNC provides security at the application level. This means that a secure connection between the components of the SAP system (for example, between the SAP GUI and the SAP application server) is guaranteed, regardless of the communication link or transport medium (see the graphic below). You therefore have a secure network connection between two SNC-enabled communication partners

"

u can find more info. abt SNC at

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/0a/0a2e0fef6211d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm

You might see in RZ11 the value of parameter SNC/ENABLE .

It will be 0

you dont need to enable it as this is not an errorr
