message server https port not working on portal

[Former Member]

The reason this is is an issue is i am trying to use ssl for metadata exchange with my webdispatcher. While debuging the webdispatcher i found my message server https port is not working. I can't find anything on this topic in oss or sdn excpet for a few others who did not post their answer.

In my java-only mw 701 portal i have 2 parameters in th SCS instance

ms/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=81$$

ms/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=44401

The http port works, but the second is not even defined when testing with

http://my.company.com:8101/msgserver/text/parameter?ms/server_port_0&ms/server_port_1&ms/server_port...

ms/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8101,TIMEOUT=20,PROCTIMEOUT=60

specified parameter = not found

specified parameter = not found

After looking at this for a few hours, I think i figured it out. the message server is in SCS instance and there is no ssl params defined in that instance and the sapcrypto files were not installed into that exe directory.

So posting this as a reference for the next person hitting this issue.

Hi,

Thank you for your interesting information.

When thinking about it, it is logical because the message server is an executable from the abap stack and the abap stack needs an ICM and transaction STRUST to enable https. With the SCS only, there is no ICM and STRUST...

It may become possible with next releases (7.2 or 7.3) where the java stack uses now the ICM.

It's interesting to see that more and more functionality from the abap stack are implemented in the Java stack to get more reliability and performance....

To make it clear.

you can make your message services to listen HTTPS.

by setting up this parameter in SCS instances if its jaca

ms/https_port =

you should mention all your ssl library info here including your .pse;s

Hi,

And where do you set up the X.509 server certificate for your HTTPS message server without an ICM ?

Try to set this values in the message server profile and restar the message server.

ms/urlmap_secure = 1

ms/urlprefix_secure = 1

After message server is up, look in dev_ms and see if it is listening at the https port o not.
