Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidance for implementing "Secure Storage in File System (AS ABAP)" (SSFS) for password storage of the ABAP database user across supported database platforms. It outlines the necessity of replacing traditional platform-specific password storage mechanisms with SSFS, thereby describing the standardized procedure to encrypt and store user credentials. The note specifies compatibility with various databases such as Sybase ASE and Oracle, alongside necessary prerequisites and detailed steps including system preparation and securing the file system. Further dependencies and additional recommended SAP Notes for successful integration and configuration are included.
