com.sap.portal.htmlb in SSL

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have implemented SSL on the portal platform (on the J2EE) and it seems to be working for the most part. We are using it with Kerberos authentication. We have noted that there are some issues and they mostly revolve around the com.sap.portal.htmlb "portalapp". Firstly, when using SSL on port 50001, items in the HTMLB component are being called without SSL VIA port 50000.

Also, we noted that there are a few files physically missing from the ../com.sap.portal.htmlb/jslib directory (for example: refresh.gif and pagerror.gif). When we manually created them, those particular errors have disappeared but we also see the:

"http://bnpdsapepc1d.corp.brucepower.com:50000/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.htmlb/jslib/emptyhover.html"

and

"http://bnpdsapepc1d.corp.brucepower.com:50000/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder/html/emptydocument.html"

In the trace - but we are using HTTPS for everything else...?

Is there something that points the HTMLB component to a static URL or to pick up the http with 50000? We have not made any custom changes here.

Any help would be humbly appreciated,

We seem to have figured it out. It turns out that the registration of the ktpass is very case sensative. We registered the FQDN of the host with the hostname part in UPPERCASE. Now the portal - Kerberos with SSL works fine when using the https://HOSTNAME.company.com:50001/irj. Otherwise, we receive "Action Cancelled" from the TLN and down. We checked the SSL cert and it looked lowercase so we checked the keytab and found the HTTP/HOSTNAME.company.com@CORP.COMPANY.COM - we will try to resolve the UPPERCASE by re-running that part of the process.

Thanks,

What is your EP Version ?Do you get security warning popup ?

Check this note note 872859, all popups should be gone with SPS16 and there are patches provided by SAP for this. So you can also open ticket with SAP to solve this.

We had similar problem not exactly same and there was hot fix provided by SAP.
