SAP BO Mobile App(for IPad) on HTTPS

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement to access the dashboards (on SAP BO Mobile App for IPad) via Internet. I need to know weather this IPad App supports "HTTPS" connection in order to create a SECURE Connection to the BOE(which will be configured for HTTPS too).

Does any one have come across such scenario before? Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Hi ALL,

I have achieved this by following this blog:

http://blog.davidg.com.au/2012/12/setting-up-ssl-for-tomcat-and-sia-in-6.html

Its a great blog for configuring HTTPS for BOE and its allowing IPAD to connect to HTTPS.

Hi All,

I have read the blog mentioned, and I want to configure only the Part 1 : 'User to Tomcat' communication using HTTPS.

I followed the below steps:

1. Generated the keystore file using the keytool.

2. Configured the 'server.xml' file as mentioned in the blog.

Now when I access BI launchPad using a different machine on the network, using HTTPS I get following two options :

-> Click here to close the webpage

-> Continue to this website (not recommended)

I can access the application if I click on the second option above' Continue to this website'. But when I try to access MoBI on iPad using HTTPS communication, it gives an error.

Is there something which is missing here ?

Hi Ayaz,

Below are the connection details and the error message which we get when I try to login using this connection.

Please note:

1. I have deleted the IP Addresses for security reasons.

2. The same connection works, if I change the port from 8443 to 8080 in Server URL

3. I can access the BI LaunchPad on iPad using Safari at port 8443

Thanks

Hi Robin,

Because  the server.prop u have given the http://<servername>:8080/

or when you instal the BO in your system is will ask for assign for port default it will be 8080 so may it is in default and 8443 may be not assign please check your setting once and revert us if still it goes wrong

Hi Vishal,

1. I have not configured the server.prop file and by default all the contents are commented.

2. During the installation the default port was 8080.

Should I make a change in server.prop file and will this resolve the issue?

Can you please detail the solution which is being proposed here.

Hi Robin,

if the case to link with server to client yes u have to make changes in server.prop and once seek the port number as u seen  in ur question that u are able to open 8443 in ipad safari but as part of using app port 8080 in server.prop is default once change according your port and again it this may get on ur ipad.

warm Regards,

Hi Vishal,

I am unable to understand your reply.

Could you please elaborate.

(Also I will make the changes in server.prop and test the application)

Thanks.

HTTPS is basic functionality and it is supported.
