SAP Web Dispatcher on a server with IIS

[former_member263346]

Hello,

I have a Microsoft Server Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition. IIS v 6.0 is installed on this server. I installed SAP Web Dispatcher x64 version (sapwebdisp_sp_519-20004013.sar), created and started a service for it. The results are that I get are:

The Page cannot be found

HTTP Error 404 - File or Directory not found

Internet Information Services (IIS).

If I look at the logs it shows that I am getting a 404.3, which means that it cannot find the MIME type for the URL that I am using. This is:

http://<server_name>/sap/crm_logon (where crm_logon is an alias to the location of the crm_ui_start service on the SAP server.

Within IIS I have created a new MIME type *, application/octet-stream, as I have read, for the website. I have restarted WWW Publiching service. It still does not work.

I would like to know what MIME type this could be looking for, or, if in fact, you cannot have IIS and web dispatcher on the same server.

I am ultimately trying to have an HTTPS URL arrive at the web dispatcher, switch protocol to HTTP and then carry on to the backend SAP system.

I am not well versed in Internet security etc, but all I am reading is telling me that I cannot enable SSL on a server to begin with unless I have IIS or Apache etc.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Hi Stuart,

as Samuli already said, this is the wrong space for this question, however as the error message states, this is presented to you by the IIS. Please make sure, that you connect to the webdispatcher. The webdispatcher is already the service providing HTTP  services, so the IIS should either be disabled or not run on port 80/443 for your URLs to work.

You can run both on the same server but not on the same IP-adress/port.

Hi,

What do you mean by above statement.

As you have a web dispatcher system that can take https traffic and do the SSL offloading and pass the traffic as http to the backend crm system .

Please read the below guide how to configure https offload on web dispatcher.

A How-to Guide about "How To Configure SAP Web Dispatcher for SSL" is provided on SDN at the following address: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/howtoguides under "SAP Web Application Server".

Hi Stuart,

to configure SSL for the web dispatcher, you can also have a look at the docs.

Also the SAP application server can be directly ssl enabled.

You can find the info on the help pages for ABAP and JAVA.

I guess you meant to post this to the space, I fail to see what this has to do with NWSSO. Maybe if one of the moderators can move this to the correct space?

You don't need IIS for setting up Web Dispatcher, not for HTTP nor HTTPS.
