NWBC - I think I missed something.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Just started making some tests around NWBC.

I read and applied (I guess) instructions.

I installed and configured a client.

When I try to log in an ABAP system (ERP6 EHP 4) I got an error saying that ticketIssuer is not valid nor installed.

nwbc try to load : http(s)://myserver:myport/bc/sap/nwbc/TicketIssuer

In fact in SICF i only have bc/sap/nwbc and bc/sap/nwbc/testCockpit (this one give me a nice Hello World so I think it is ok)

In my opinion it looks like a sso trouble but don't have any idea about the way to solve it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Looks like you missed some of the server side preparation activities:

- Installation of SAP Cryptolibrary: OS Level activities, set system profile parameters and check tcode strustsso2

- Enablement for SSO2 tickets/cookies: set system profile parameters

- Configure ICM: strustsso2 and SMICM

Check link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/31/8dd113b8ba4832aeaafb4b756e1eed/frameset.htm

Especiall Point 4 Server Configuration.

That was my first idea.

But this 3 points looks OK.

https is up and working

logon tickets too

I've seen something on the link provided : no NWBC transaction and nothing else than testCockpit in /bc/sap/nwbc node on my system. But ERP6 EHP4 is like NW7.0 EHP1, isn't it?

Hi,

Yes EhP4 would be based on NW 7.01. However for using NWBC, the SP level should be 7 or higher to ensure proper functioning of NWBC.

In NW 7.01 SP06, the NWBC was only partially developed and hence is not useable. From the SAP help link:

In older versions of SAP NetWeaver, the NWBC runtime was already partially developed. However, this development was not completed, not released and not documented. Thus, it could be quite possible that the ICF node /sap/bc/nwbc does indeed exist, and even partially work.

Yes that's the point!

I've just found quite the same in the troubleshooting of nwdc SAP doc

Very specifically if this exception is raised on the startup URL (as used by NWBC for Desktop) of
/sap/bc/nwbc/TicketIssuer, it is a clear indicator that the ABAP system has only a beta
version of the NWBC runtime that is not officially supported.

Will ask for last SP implementation.
