Define SAP Web IDE as Communication Partner in S/4HANA Cloud

Navigate to Communication Systems tile to start the application.

Create a new communication system by clicking New.

By adding a system ID, system name and clicking Create, you are able to register a new communication system.

Switch to your SAP Cloud Platform cockpit, go to Services and select SAP Web IDE. Copy the link address of Go to Service, paste it to some text editor and remove https:// from that SAP Web IDE’s URL. This will be needed in the creation process of the communication system.

Switch back to the communication system maintenance in SAP S/4HANA Cloud system. Set SAP Web IDE’s URL without https:// that you got before as Host Name of the communication system.

Click + to add a user for inbound communication. Inbound communication means that the here defined system is used from a communication partner to call from external into the S/4HANA system. Doing this, the user that will be added next has to be used to get authorized.

Click New User to create one.

Enter a user name and description for your user. Give your user a password and click Create.

The new user will be taken as inbound communication user by clicking OK.

Switch to your SAP Cloud Platform subaccount. Open trust settings, copy all data from the Signing Certificate field ( in windows: click inside and press CTRL+a) and paste it to some text editor.

1. In the text editor file that you pasted SAP Cloud Platform subaccount’s signing certificate into before, add a line with value “-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----” in front of the <SIGNING_CERTIFICATE> and a line with value “-----END CERTIFICATE-----” after.

   Swift Copy

       -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
            <SIGNING_CERTIFICATE>
       -----END CERTIFICATE-----

2. Save your changes as .cer file.

Go back to your SAP S/4HANA Cloud system and open your created communication system draft. Edit your draft and enable it for OAuth 2.0 by checking the Enabled box. Then upload the certificate by clicking Upload Signing Certificate. Take the value of the CN attribute of the Signing certificate subject - that appears after upload - and enter it as the Provider Name. Click Save.

With this step, you’ve uploaded your certificate to your communication system. Now your S/4HANA system trusts your SAP Cloud Platform subaccount.
