SAP Note 1439348 - Extended security settings for sapstartsrv

Component : Startup Service - Host Agent

Summary :
The SAPControl Webservice interface of sapstartsrv allows certain methods to be executed without user authentication, primarily those not altering system or instance status, which includes access to system configuration and status information. However, these methods can expose details potentially useful for identifying vulnerable system configurations. To mitigate risks, the interface's protection scope is expandable via settings described in Note 927637. Default settings protect critical functions (e.g., start/stop), with additional protective measures available post-implementation of specific kernel or sapstartsr patches. Furthermore, support for Single Sign-On (SSO) using X.509 certificates is addressed, along with network access restrictions to minimize operational risks via ACL files.
