WebDispatcher to PI connectivity check list

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

There is a requirement where in SAP-PI is exposing web services to outsiders and for them to be able to access our webservices in a secured manner ,Web dispatcher has been used in between PI and outside partner .

The problem here is that web service is working fine with SOAP UI environment as http request .But when Partners are trying to access via https they face difficulties .The SSL certificates have already been validated and the partner is able to enter into our network. But not able to access the webservices.

Can anybody tell me what are the details to be shared with basis people apart from SOAP URL ? Do they(Basis) require WSDL also ? Please tell me check list of configuring web dispatcher for this requirement .

Format of URL shared is

https:// hostname:8020/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=NetworkPartners:NP_WO_BS:NP_WODetails_Sender_CC&version=3.0&Sender.Service=&Interface=%5E*

and this is working fine in SOAP UI.

Thanks,

Hi Amar,

We had the same scenario. A ticket was opened with SAP with this reply:

==========================================

Which documentation exactly are you using to build this enviroment? The SOAP protocol is not supported by web dispatcher. Take a look in the documentation.

==========================================

This of course shocked us because I spoke to another colleague doing the same thing with SOAP through their SAP Web Dispatcher. I need to follow up but I thought I should throw it out there and see if anyone else has any experience contrary to the SAP documentation.

Hi John,

Our project is a kind of Lift n shift (not a new implementation) .Such a scenario is already running fine in other landscape.As Mr.Francis said Https request will stop at Wedispacther and gets converted to HTTP and hit PI. SSL authentication will be done at firewall level .Would share my knowledge here ,if it works with my scenario.

cheers,

Hi,

Is the SSL is terminated in the webdispatcher (client to webdispatcher HTTPS and then from webdispatcher to PI just HTTP) or u are using end to end SSL? based on that check if the parameter wdisp/ssl_encrypt is set accordingly.
