SSL / BOE 4.0 / (FWM 01009) error in Information Design Tool

[deb_nugent2]

This is more an F.Y.I. in case someone else runs into this problem.

We had set up SSL between our PCs and BOE 4.0. We then had configured SSL between our BOE 4.0 system and our BW 7.01 SP10 system.

Then, using Information Design Tool on our PCs, we were not able to create a session to our BOE system. The error we were seeing

in our logs:

Errors being seen in the .log file on the PC:

After a number of things we found SAP note 1391653 which suggested that some of the Java tools could be passed the information

about the SSL files instead of using the configuration that was set up using the sslconfig tool on the PC.

We found the file c:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\InformationDesignTool.ini.

We were able to add the necessary information for the SSL files to the end of the IDT's ini file. This then allowed us to create a

session within the IDT to our BOE system.

We had suggested our users house the SSL files on their PC in the directory c:\bossl and so added the lines were:

-Dbusinessobjects.orb.oci.protocol=ssl

-Dcertdir=c:\bossl

-DtrustedCert=c:\bossl\cacert.der

-DsslCert=c:\bossl\servercert.der

-DsslKey=c:\bossl\server.key

-Dpassphrase=c:\bossl\passphrase.txt

Since I had not found this documented anywhere else, I thought it would be nice to mention it in case someone else runs into the

same type of situation.
