a problem about url filter of web dispatcher

[Former Member]

Dear experts:

I am puzzled about the url filter of web dispatcher. I want to use the parameter "icm/HTTP/auth_<xx>" to permit some IP address to access the application ,and I have read the help document ,but I don't know how to set the parameter and the permission table.

For example:

icm/HTTP/auth_0 = PREFIX=/sap/public/ping,PERMFILE=permissiontable.txt

the permission table :

#SAP Web Dispatcher permission table#

#----

---

P /sap/public/ping * * 192.168.. 192.168.88.*

D/* * * * *

192.168..----

---

client IP, 192.168.88.* -

---

server IP

I want to permit the IP address 192.168.. access the application and the other IP address are no permission to access the application.

Hi,

I use URL filters with the SAP Web Dispatcher successfully on a R/3 production system.

It can be a little tricky.

For example It took me quite a lot of trials and errors to get it working.

First the Permissiontable.txt file (contrary to the profile file) does not accept blank lines !

The parser stops reading at the first blank line.

So

P /sap/public/ping * * 192.168.. 192.168.88.*

D /* * * * *

is wrong but

P /sap/public/ping * * 192.168.. 192.168.88.*

#

D /* * * * *

is OK

I could never use successfully an URL prefix for the auth_0 parameter.

So with your example, I would try :

icm/HTTP/auth_0 = PREFIX=/,PERMFILE=permissiontable.txt,FILTER=1

#SAP Web Dispatcher permission table#

#----

---

P /sap/public/ping * * 192.168.* *

D / * * * * *

You also have to load the necessary libraries :

csi/SAP/csa_lib = sapcsa.dll

csi/enable = TRUE
