unable to view adobe form from portal

[former_member298251]

Dear All,

We have install SAP Enterprise Portal 7 ehp1 SP 7 standalone jave system on windows 2008 R2 oracle 10g

We have ABAP system as backend system seperately and Single sign on is configured.

when we access the portal with domain name line http://hostname.domain/52000/irj/portal, we are able to access the adobe form which is develope on abap system without any issue.

but our issue started when we are trying to access portal only with hostname as http://hostname:52000/irj/portal

we are able to login to portal but when we are trying to open the adobe form we are getting error

No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password

Could you please let me know any setting i have missed

Sincerely

Paresh

Hi,

You need to use Fully qualified domain name. First option that you are using is correct.

Prerequisite of configuring SSL is to use FQDN for generating certificate. But why you don't want to use FQDN in the link, is there any specific reason ?

Thanks

Dear Sunny,

Thanks for yoour mail.

Let me explain you the senario.

We have to view the portal from internet.

I have ask the network people to map the LAN Fully qulify domain name with public IP

But they say that they can only map the IP address.

So when they mail IP address we are able to ope the Portal from internet but when it try to open the adobe form (which are develope in backend server ) we are getting the error "No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password"

so that the reason i want to check wether we can configure the SSL with hostname

Sincerely

Hi Paresh,

I believe you are using direct ip address on internet and not an hostname to access the portal.

You need to register the domain and your alias of enterprise portal with your domain provider.

Once this is done, you can use the FQDN on the internet.

SAP portal does not function properly on IP address so FQDN is very manditory.

If you have to check this then, you can try access the LAN ip internally in your network rather than hostname, you should get the same switch warning.

Thanks,

You can configure SSL with hostname as well. And it will work. But recommended option is to use FQDN. Try with Anil's suggestion.

Hi,

As other folks said, we should use fully qualified name in SSL configuration as it's recommended by SAP.

As a workaround, we can use "Proxy Mapping" parameter in EP (Visual Admin--> Dispatcher --> Services --> HTTP Provider) to map http://hostname.domain/52000/irj/portal to http://hostname:52000/irj/portal.

Hope it helps you.

Thanks,

Hi,

How are you accessing your portal over the internet i.e. you have published your portal url on the web or any other method?

Thanks

Dear Sunny,

We have mapped the public IP with the LAN IP of the portal and backend server

When i am clicking on forms in portal from public IP it is trying to open the forms and after 1 min it is giving the error

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Hi,

From internet try to ping the public ip, then try to telnet the public ip with icm http port. if it work, then try to ping with hostname and then with hostname and port number from internet. let us know the result.

Thanks,

Dear Anil,

I am able to access the portal and i an able to login in without any issue.

Only while opening the adobe from we are getting the error

Adobe form are develop on ECC system and we have configure Single sign on between portal and ECC system.

Hi Paresh,

To begin with, SSL always requires FQDN. Can't be done without providing the domain name.

Furthermore, SSO as well requires FQDN. Hence even if u remove the https from your access URL, your BI system would prompt for Logon credentials.

Inorder to make it more secure, you can follow the below mentioned steps -

Say you want to access your portal via the URL http://abc.mycompany.com

a) make an entry in DNS pointing abc.mycompany.com to your EP IP address

b) open your Visual Administrator -> go to (<SID> -> Server_XX -> Services -> HTTP Provider)

c) Create a new Virtual host, Enter the name as abc.mycompany.com,

d) Enter /irj/portal in StartPage for this virtual host

e) Save it,

Now, go to <SID> - Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider

a) Select the parameter ProxyMappings

Create an entries as shown below

50000=(Host:abc.mycompany.com,Port:80,Scheme:http,Override:true),50001=(Host:abc.mycompany.com,Port:443,Scheme:https,Override:true)

Let me know if this resolves your issue.

Hi,

We have ABAP system as backend system seperately and Single sign on is configured.
when we access the portal with domain name line http://hostname.domain/52000/irj/portal, we are able to access the adobe form which is develope on abap system without any issue.
but our issue started when we are trying to access portal only with hostname as http://hostname:52000/irj/portal
we are able to login to portal but when we are trying to open the adobe form we are getting error 
No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password

Since you have configured SSL, I assume that this configuration is done with fully qualified hotsname. Hence the certificate is generated based on this hostname.

Now when you access your portal without typing fully qualified hostname, system is unable to locate a relevant certificate. Hence it lands up with a message "No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password"

Hope this answers your query

Dear Deepak,

Yes, i have done the same way,

But is it possible to confgure the SSL with hostname and not with Fully qualified domain name.

Because i have not give fully qulified domain name in any of the parameter.
