WebDispatcher - configuration.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a question, I have the portal EP 7.0 ABAP / JAVA, WebDispatcher installed on another server, and now I want to configure it so that users instead of the full address http:
portalep:50000\ir\index http:
portalEP\ entered.

How to do it ?

BR,

I think best thing to do is to have a look at [saphelp|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/48/8fe37933114e6fe10000000a421937/frameset.htm].

I also had to configure the Web Dispatcher and the documentation helped me a lot.

At first try to make a clean configuration of the Web Dispatcher. After that try to eliminate the /irj/portal.

Hi,

If you want to just eliminate /irj/portal, this can be done through EP Visual Admin as below

Login to Visual Admin - > Goto Server->Services->HTTP Provider

In this enter the start page as /irj/portal.

Now you will be able to open your portal as http://<portalep>:50000 rather than http://portalep:50000/irj/portal.

Then if you want to eliminate the port number simply configure the ICM port on the web dispatcher to run on default http port i.e. 80.

Now you should be able to access your portal with http://portalep

Hi,

Configure the parameter icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=80 on your web dispatcher.

hi,

I do not understand

ok, but if I add icm/server_port_0 = PROT = HTTP, PORT = 80 in my WebDispatcher (configuration_file.pfl) then the dispatcher runs on port 80, and I would like to run the portal EP 7.0 on port 80, how to set it up ? of course by web dispatcher.

Hi,

You configure your web dispatcher to connect to the portal to run on port 80.

Then you can access the portal using the URL http://<webdispatcher hostname> which will redirect to ur portal system.

Sorry for giving the wrong link in my first post where i said you can access portal with URL http://portalep i.e. hostname of portal after configuring the web dispatcher.

Hope this clarifies.

Again, thanks for help

I configured a redirect WebDispatcher and logging in to http://<webdispatcher_hostname>/ I was redirected to a server http://portalep:50000/irj/portal/ on EP 7.0.

but every time I enter a user name and password for the portal.

If you log on directly to http://portalep:50000/irj/portal/, not because I need an integrated login Windows AD.

what can I do to work an integrated login ?

Hi,

Please elaborate.

Login to the portal EP 7.0 is integrated with Windows Active Directory, or if a user log on to http://portalep:50000/irj/portal/ is automatically logged.

However, after configuring web dispatcher redirect (logon on the page http://<webdispatcher_hostname>), user must be given every time username and password, is not logged automatically.

Hi,

I am not sure as of now of the configuration if you are using AD. I will check and get back to you on that.

We have two options here.

1. Check the configuration of SSO AD if any changes are required if you use Web dispatcher.

2. Try to configure port 80 directly for Portal instead of using web dispatcher. You can configure the same using Visual Administrator -> Dispatcher-> HTTP Provider->Ports. Before you do this, i recommend you have a backup because your system may not start for the next restart. If you face any issues, you change them back through configtool. This step is a bit tricky and i do not recommend this.

So its better you check on the 1st option whether you need to do any changes on SSO AD configuration part.

Else wait for some other experts to throw light on this or till the time i get back with more details
