Component : SAP GUI for HTML -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1555523 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP WebGUI utilizes a redesigned Java applet to ensure safe local operations such as file uploads and downloads within the SAP environment. The applet requires the SAP cryptographic library, which must be installed on the SAP application server or ITS. Proper installation of the library is critical, as improper setup will trigger security warnings. The update introduces enhanced security features including protocol whitelisting and directory restrictions. Users must manually confirm trust for each new request from the system to the Java applet, and configuration is governed through specific white and blacklists within the “WEBGUI.CFG” configuration file.
