Use

For communication with the health insurance funds using PKCS#7 and e-mail, you must meet the necessary technical prerequisites.

  • Signature and Encryption with PKCS#7

    The SAPCryptolib is used for the signature and encryption of data with PKCS#7. This program, which is uploaded from the SAP server, provides the functionality.

    The installation is described in the Customizing activity Set Up PKCS#7 Encryption.

    The certificates (key) required for the signature and encryption are created for each company number that occurs as the sender. An employer's certificate is permitted for the method if it is certified by the ITSG. This occurs using certificate requests. Part of the employer's certificate is sent to the ITSG. The ITSG authorizes the certificate and returns it to the employer. The certificate response is imported into the existing employer's certificate.

    A certificate list (file) with the public keys of the health insurance funds' receiving offices is also sent with the certificate response to the employer. This file is also imported into the existing employer's certificate.

    You manage the certificates (creating a certificate, creating a certificate request, importing the certificate response and certificate list) using the Customizing activity Create and Manage PKCS#7 Certificate.


    To manage the certificates, you must save the files containing the certificates to the application server. To do this, you use program-internal logical file paths. The associated physical paths differ depending on the server operating system and the server landscape. In the Customizing activity Maintain Logical File Paths, you create the links between the predefined logical file paths used for certificate management and the associated physical file paths.

  • Communication Server
    The Customizing activities under Communication Server describe how to set up the connections required for transferring notifications and collecting confirmations.
    For ELENA and the social insurance notifications (for example, DEUEV, paying office), there are two different communication servers that are set up separately.

E-Mail

The e-mail system for the SAP system is set up independently from the communication with the health insurance funds. The Set Up E-Mail Customizing activity lists the alternatives for the setup and contains links to the relevant SAP Notes and the basis documentation.
