ms/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=444$$ in Portal's message server profile

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm configuring Web Dispatcher for SSL. I want to Web dispatcher send the request to Portal using HTTPS. So, I set ms/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=444$$,TIMEOUT=180 in Portal's message server profile and restart portal server. However, after the portal is running, I still could not telnet port 44402 ($$ = 02). BTW, I have also implemented HTTPS configuration for both Web Dispatcher and Portal.

FYI, I have also updated this parameter in Web AS ABAP. After restarting Web AS ABAP server, I can telnet to the updated port.

Pls help.

I have the same Problem, i set the Parameter ms/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=44300 on our PI (Java Only) in the SCS Profile. But the System Ignores this parameter completely. The port is also closed (netstat).

Any Ideas how i can access the Messae Server of the Java System through HTTPS from the Web Dispatcher ?

Just to clarify, I was confused by myself.

If it is SCS or ASCS it seems to be 444NN not 443!!!

Hi Hapizorr,

Expected results.

Try including two message server ports in the instance profile. i.e for both HTTP and HTTPS.

You can keep ms/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=81$$

Also enter ms/server_port_1=PROT=HTTPS,PORT=443$$.

If these two entries already exist, then try using an absolute port for HTTPS i.e 44302 instead of 443$$.

This configuration should work. If it still does not then enter the ms/https_port=44302 in the web dispatcher and try to start it.

See the log file dev_webdisp. If anything interesting please post the same.

Cheers.......,

Hi,

I have ERP with HTTP and I configure SSL with certificate from Symantec to test client -- server.

I connect with GUI HTML.

Should I set on ERP this parameter?  icm/server_port_<xx> = 8443

Also in SAP Web Dispatcher this one?

ms/server_port_1=PROT=HTTPS,PORT=443$$

icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS, PORT=8443, HOST=hostnameERP, TIMEOUT=900

Hi Hapizorr,

Do you have both ABAP+JAVA for portal ?

Have you entered in the port in the profile file <SID>_SCS<instno>_hostname ?

You should be able to reach both abap and java stack with the message server. Did you try with the default port i.e 81<SCS inst no> ?

Try with the default port and update the message.

Hi Raghu,

My Portal is only Java stack.

Yes, I have entered the port in the profile file <SID>_SCS<instno>_hostname.

The default port only work if ms/server_port_<x> = PROT=HTTP,PORT=81$$.

If I slightly change it to ms/server_port_<x> = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=81$$, it doesn't work anymore, meaning I can telnet to port 81$$ where $$ is instance number.

Hi, By any chance did you get this to work? I'm trying exactly the same thing and my ms/server_port_1 type https is not working.

Thanks Pat

Hi,

Instead of chaging the ms/server_port_1, you can mention icm/server_<xx>. The message server port can be default.

In this you need not change the ms/server_port_<xx> at the portal. Also you should be able to do a telnet on the ms server port from web dispatcher.

I believe you want to access portal through web dispatcher with URL https://<web disp>:44402/....

The above configuration should work.

If any other specific requirements, please revert.

Hi Raghu,

Yes, I want to access Portal via Web Dispatcher but not using port 44402. I have configured port 443 for Web Dispacher. I just want Web Dispatcher to connect to backend server using HTTPS message server port. By defaut, it connects to Portal's HTTP server port which we define in Web Dispatcher Profile as ms/http_port = 8102.

If I were to mention icm/server_port_<xx> = 44402 in Portal's message server profile, do I need to update in Web Dispatcher's profile as ms/https_port = 44402?

Pls help.

Hi,

You have use the parameter in the instance profile of the portal to change the HTTPS message server port.

ms/server_port_<xx> = PROT==HTTPS,PORT=<443xx> to mention ms/https_port=<443xx>

Hope this clarifies below question.

Hi Raghu,

As I said in my very first thread, I did enter ms/server_port_<XX> in the Portal's instance profile but still I could not telnet to the port number entered.

In ABAP instance, I can telnet the port after entering the profile.
