Setup Web and Database Server

ERP SSL/VPN

If the server environment running Sana and the server environment running ERP are not in the same network it is recommended to secure the data transfer between these environments.

You have two options, either set up SSL for the ERP Web service or VPN connection between the Web server and ERP server.

• If you set up SSL for the ERP Web service, make sure that you can reach the Web service via the port used by the Web service. If the SSL certificate is self-signed, make sure that this certificate is also added to the trusted root certificates on the Web server.
  
  
• If VPN is possible in the infrastructure, make sure it is a VPN tunnel.
  
       If the Sana web store is hosted on Microsoft Azure enabling a VPN connection from the ERP server to Microsoft Azure might cause operational issues. Therefore, if your Sana web store is hosted on Microsoft Azure we recommend to set up SSL for the ERP Web service.
