Experts:
I notice that SSL certificate uses RSA while self-signed ceritificate uses DSA.
I have searched the web but cannot find the explanation for this.
Is this because SSL certificate is not signed by the server itself?
Could you provide some threads/hints here?
Thanks!
Hello Joy,
As per my knowledge, for RSA keys the default is 2048 bits for encryption where as DSA must be exactly 1024 bits. Since SSL needs strong security/encryption, SAP recommends RSA. Self-signed certificates do not need strong encryption, so we use DSA.
Hope it helps....
Thanks,
Siva Kumar

Hi Joy,
The SSL certificate which uses RSA algorithm needs to be signed by CA.
