SAP Business One B1i SSL Integration Installation (Details)

See my video on the B1i installation process including my AutoSSL tool by clicking here.

Main SAP Note 2019275 (click for link)
NOTE: This article has been adapted from the main SAP note and expanded upon based on several installations.

Prerequisites

  1. You need to have B1i installed
  2. You need the current .keystore password located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One Integration\IntegrationServer\Tomcat\conf\server.xml
  3. Search the XML document for the keystorePass attribute. Default that I have observed has been sapB1iP
  4. You need a domain name associated with your raw IP address. IE, mobile.lhimports.com as an example. This must resolve to their static IP address with an A record in the subdomains DNS.

SAP Business One Has a Really Well Thought Out EFT System

Changing Menu Titles SBO

Since when can we change the menu titles in SAP Business One??  I was doing some document numbering and I found this field called “Change Menu Names” in the document numbering form.  Occasionally I had a reason to change these names and it wasn’t really possible before without B1UP or SDK.
