Adobe Document Services (ADS) require access to a credential (private key) in the SAP Application Server to assign usage rights to PDF forms. This is typically the Adobe Reader Rights credential. If you require additional credentials for certification or digital signatures, you can obtain them from a Certificate Authority (CA).
Only DER-encoded X.509 certificates are supported.
In any of these cases, you must install and configure the credentials in the ADS. For ease of use throughout the SAP system, the credential is identified by an alias. The alias is a unique text name, that represents the credential. If you need to install more than one credential on your system, use the default alias for the default credential and any other alias for additional credentials.
SAP applications certifying a PDF form must specify the name of the credential. Otherwise the default credential is used. The table below gives you an overview of the credentials (and their aliases) according to their use.
