Using webgui with HTTPS protocol

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have a WAS 700 (abap + java) where I have activated:

- webgui

- SSO

Webgui works fine on port HTTP (8000) but now I want to use HTTPS protocol.

I have tried to change the instance parameter icm/server_port_0

from

PROT=HTTP,PORT=80$$

to

PROT=HTTPS,PORT=80$$

but unfortunately this is not sufficient or is completely wrong!

After this change webgui do not work anymore !!

Any suggestions ??

thx in advance

Hello,

To HTTPS enable your application server

Follow the steps provided here:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/65/6a563cef658a06e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

That should get HTTPS working in SMICM.

Also,

After the above configuration, you would also need to enable HTTPS in SICF for your webgui in

SICF ->navigate to /default_host/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/

Right click on the service and click on Display element, you should see a window where you can specify the service details.

Switch to service data tab (which is normally the first tab selected) on this tab , there is a security requirement box.

Select SSL over here.

Hi!

THX for your answer.

I'm following the instruction you give me (in the above URL)

In this URL at point 3.c it says:

"Send the certificate requests to a CA to be signed."

Due to fact that I'm testing the process (on a test installation). It is possible to configure and use HTTPS webgui without send the certificate to CA ??

let me know

Hello,

You could insert a self signed certificate.

Or you could use SAP's own test CA

https://service.sap.com/SSLTest

Ok,

I have used the SAP test certificate.

and....

something is working but I have to force the use of HTTPS port in the URL (I have to use the HTTPS port in the url)

Otherwise, if I goto the standard HTTP (webgui) URL, working on port 8000, it says:

" Logon not possible; none of the active logon procedures is possible "

Is it possible to switch in auto on HTTPS port when you go to HTTP URL ??

Hello,

Use the parameter icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx> to setup a redirection.

Hi,

I have modified the instanc eprofile with:

icm/HTTP/redirect_1 = PREFIX=/, FROM=/sap/bc/gui/ , FROMPROT=http, PROT=https, HOST=my.test.host

unfortunately, even after a SAp restart no switch is made, when you reach the old https URL to the HTTPS.

Is it correct ?

What's wrong or missing. ????

THX
