Using HTTP instead of HTTPS

[MauricioMiao]

Hello,

Is that possible to set web dynpro for abap to run under HTTP and not HTTPS protocol?

How are you launching the WDA? Via SE80 test?

And what about if you type the URL (with port 80) directly from the browser?

Maybe the switch is occuring during the Logon Page?

Did you checked the SICF global parameters about Logon?

Try to explain better...

Hello Sergio,

I tried via SE80 and also manually, I tried to change to port 80 but I've got the error: "Page cannot be displayed".

Yes, the switch is occuring during the logon page, but I am not asked to inform my user and pass.

I checked the Logon parameters of the webdynpro services I want to execute, where are these global parameters in SICF you are talking about?

Thanks,

Mauricio

In my Blog /people/sergio.ferrari2/blog/2007/04/06/bsphowto--customizing-the-design-of-system-logon-page-in-netweaver-04 you will find how to get to the screen where you can set a lot of Logon Parameters.

I suppose you have "Protocol" set to Switch to HTTPS, could you verify?

In add, in SMICM - > Services (3rd icon) what kind of PORT can you see?

Check also system parameters (RSPARAM, RZ10).

Especially verify the redirect parameter: icm/HTTP/redirect_<xx>. It could redirect all incoming requests to HTTPS.

Thanks Sergio, the System Logon was something I had not studied.

But I am wondering if I need to change all my Web Dynpro for abap applications to do not switch to HTTPS?

I guess the answer is to set the system parameter you pointed, this would set the global definition to do not switch to HTTPS to all my applications, am I right?

Currently my icm/HTTP/redirect_0 is set to blank.

Something I think is strange also is that I have BSP applications running on this server also and They do not behave like the Web Dynpro for Abap applications, I mean, They do not switch to HTTPS, do you know why?

Thanks again,

Regards,

Mauricio

BSP runs OK and Web Dynpro not...

Hi Mauricio,

Let's try to investigate deeper about System Logon.

So you had found how to see the parameters in the SICF.

The global settings works in this way:

- select one Web Dynpro node

- open the System Logon Configuration (in the Error Page Tabs)

- set Define Service-Specific Settings

- change the parameters (expecially the Protocol)

- and Press the button Sava as Global Settings

In BSP you can choose to use System Logon, Web Dynpros always use the System it.

Just to see what happens, maybe you could try to activate the System Logon for one BSP.

Hi,

yes, of course, in transaction SMICM. See the section on ICM under Initial Configuration Settings in the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/e86de5008b4d9ae10000000a155369/frameset.htm">documentation</a>.

Hello Heidi,

I followed the documentation but it still being loading through HTTPS:

https://<server>:8443/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/wdr_test_ui_elements

After the message "Log on is being prepared" I ve got a page cannot be displayed error.

Do you have other idea?

Regards,

Mauricio
