Step by step guide
In your Subaccount > Applications > Subscriptions corresponding to your sandbox (pre-production), select the Web UI URL something like: https://xxx-xxx.xxx.xxx.hana.ondemand.com/itspaces
Step 1 – Add and deploy keystore
To deploy keystore, in SCPI Web UI URL, go to Monitor > Manage Security > Keystore > Add keystore (add an alias and select the ClearTax SSL certificate) > Deploy > Confirm.
Note: To perform above operation, you need to be a tenant administrator with role AuthGroup.Administrator.
Step 2 – Test connection
To check the connectivity with GSP, in SCPI Web UI URL, go to Monitor > Manage
Security > Connectivity Tests > TLS > Enter the ClearTax EWB GSP base URL without https (ewb-gsp-staging.internal.cleartax.co for sandbox and ewb-gsp.cleartax.in for production) and port > Send. The reponse
