White list error message

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!

We have an issue when displaying originals(in DIRs) in PLM WUI, Portal.

The issue can be summarized like this:

JPG-Images or PDF files are stored on a shared folder. (Not in SAP System)

We then create an original in a DIR(document info record). We do NOT check in the original but only use file as a link.

(In our solution we will not check in the originals but the versioning will be controlled in the linked folder).

Example:

We create an original with the following link

sharedfolder\images\image01.jpg

Anyone can afterwards log on the system and click display original and the jpf or pdf is shown.

This procedure works perfectly fine when we are in SAPGUI.

But in the Portal the system acts different from case to case.

Case 1

When a colleague of mine has added an original in SAPGUI and I

then press display in Portal I get a security list error message, Wrong downloading server

(We have defined the white list, TCode wdr_acf_wlist, and downloaded it.

In this case we have tried
sharedfolder\images\ as downloading server for example)

Case 2

When I have added an original in SAPGUI and then press display in the Portal the image is shown

->Why do I NOT get the error message in this case?

Any ideas why the system works this way and how I can solve it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mikael,

I was led to this thread via search on SDN for "white list". We need to set up an external facing portal and need to set up reverse proxy plus white list. We have an OSS message running with prio very high but don't seem to get a helpful answer. Can you give info on how to configure the revese proxy (we aim at citrix gateway as reverse proxy) with white list? or can you describe your architecture with focus on white list? very kind regards, Matthias Kasig
