Which two certificates are required for trusted secure communication between the client and the SAP HANA database?

Trusted secure communication between the client and the SAP HANA database is crucial for ensuring data integrity and confidentiality during transmission. In this context, the X.509 certificate is essential because it is a widely accepted standard that outlines the format for public key certificates. These certificates contain a public key and are used to establish a secure connection through transport layer security (TLS).

Having an X.509 certificate allows the SAP HANA system to authenticate the identity of connecting clients and servers. This authentication helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures that the data exchanged between the client and server is encrypted and secure.

In addition to the X.509 certificate, another necessary certificate involved in establishing secure communication is the server certificate. This server certificate authenticates the server’s identity to the client, thereby providing assurance that the client is communicating with the correct database.

Together, the X.509 certificate and the server certificate form the foundational elements required for establishing trusted communication in an SAP HANA environment.
