HTTPS communication with XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a scenario where we have to send and receive documents to/from our vendor via internet using HTTPS.

So far we planned to use SOAP adapter for this communication and web dispatcher as reverse proxy in our DMZ … but the problem is SAP is saying we can not use the web dispatcher for outbound communication …

What's the best way to approach this scenario?

Appreciate you help

Hi Dhiraj,

you can use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/79973cc73af456e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">plain HTTP adapter</a> instead of SOAP. The mapping is now responsible for the task to build the SOAP envelop instead of the SOAP adapter. The plain HTTP adapter allows <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/de/14/ef2940cbf2195de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">HTTP and SSL</a>

Hi,

You can use the HTTP adapter. Refer to following SDN TV demo of the HHTP adapter for details steps involved into it.

Hello Dhiraj,

a Reverse Proxy is used for incoming http(s) traffic. For outgoing traffic you can use you company's proxy, which is used for the browser's internet access.
