Initial setup

Cloud Connector starts a handshake with SAP Cloud Platform and establishes a secure SSL connection with the server where your on-demand applications are configured.

To set up the initial configuration, enter the following:
  1. Landscape Host: Your SCP Host Name.
  2. Account Name: ID from SCP Account/Tenant.
  3. Account User: Cloud Connector Admin Username.
  4. Password: Password of the ID.
    No requests are passed from Cloud to back-end systems. To allow on-demand applications access back-end systems, Configure Access Control.
    Note: The internal network must allow access to the port. Specific configuration for opening the respective port(s) depends on the firewall software used. The default ports are 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS. For RFC communication, you need to open a gateway port (default: 33+<instance number>and an arbitrary message server port. For a connection to a HANA Database (on SAP Cloud Platform) via JDBC, you need to open an arbitrary outbound port in your network. Mail (SMTP) communication is not supported.

    To change proxy settings (for example, if the company firewall rules have changed), go to Settings menu. Some proxy servers require credentials for authentication.

Once the initial setup is completed successfully, the connection to the Cloud endpoint is opened.
