Hi,

You can loinn through telnet via saprouter. You have to add the following line in your routtab file.

1. SNC - connection from SAP to local R/3-System for SAPtelnet*

KP "p:CN=sapserv2, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE" IP adress 23

IP Adress- IP of the sever in which you want to open telnet session.

Thanks

Hi,

Please add this entry to your saprouttab file.

KP "p:CN=sapserv2, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE" <IP adress of the server> 23

whenever you will execute telnet command it will automatically connect you to that server i.e.

telnet <IP address of the server>

Please do not forget to award points if it works.

OK, this for SAP support.... but I would like to connect from my house through my saprouter to a my SAP server.

After the two SNC answers i got curious and did some research. According to this message here, SAP does indeed have a special telnet client to handle router strings:

they have saptelnet.exe
same thing-y like sapftp.exe,
but you can't find it in a standard GUI instalastion 

[SAP Fan Club - Telnet through SapRouter|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=318063]

I suggest you ask the next SAP consultant you see if that is true. Or one of the SAP employees here confirms this.

Quite interesting indeed.

An SAP notes search for the string "saptelnet" will result in several notes with this string mentioned under keyword "Other terms". But none of them has any further reference.

Are we tracking down a conspiracy here?

I don't think it has anything to do with a "special" telnet.

I remember that in the early days there were some scripts on sapserv3 (they are gone) who are used by the support people. Basically those were perl scripts opening a listening descriptor on the local machine and whatever application can connect to that and be forwarded. So those perl scripts were acting as "proxy" for the saprouter. Otherwise non-open source programs (such as PCanywhere, VNC) couldn't work.

Just found this, so I thought to update here as well :

SAProuter as Port Forwarder

SAP NetWeaver Security Guide - SAP Library

Basically it explains how to setup port-forwarding using the SAProuter so you can use Telnet, HTTP and whatnot over a SAProuter connection.

Cheers!
