open our portal to outside world

[Former Member]

Hi,

We Installed SAP HCM and also SAP EP systems . Currently all the users are connecting using Http: and not https:(Secure)

In order to setup https and We are planning to open our portal to outside world.

I have few questions . Your answers are greatly appreciated.

1. In order to setup https connectivity do we need SSL

2. In order to use SSL do we need a web dispatcher. If Yes, is this something which SAP is recommending or it is must to use SAP Web dispatcher inroder to enable SSL in SAP.

Thanks

Yes, you need SSL for that.

Its not mandatory to use web dispatcher for SSL. But i will recommend you to use web dispatcher so that you should not expose your actual system IP and host to outer world and at same time security will be enhanced.

Thanks
