Automatic Switching from HTTP to HTTPS

[Former Member]

Dear Team,

We have already enabled SSL in Enterprise Portal successfully through Visual Admin Tool (since we installed Java stack only)

I have a couple of queries regarding this.

1) How to block HTTP and what other things needs to be changed after blocking this HTTP port.

2) How to make automatic switching when end user trying to access link through HTTP to HTTPS.

Thanks

Hi Mehul,

You may need to configure port mapping.

Please refer to the configuration steps as described in link below

Converting http to https - Portal - SCN Wiki

Hi Deepak,

I have gone through the configuration steps in link provided above.

There are couple of query,

1) Can I use same proxy port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS shown in document.

2) Two mapping option given as single and multiple; which option is appropriate.

Thanks

Hi Mehul,

1) Can I use same proxy port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS shown in document.

Default http port = 80 and https port = 443.

So no issue in using these ports

2) Two mapping option given as single and multiple; which option is appropriate.

You may go with multiple option as it includes entry for https port as well. It will facilitate user request with http as well as https.

Thanks Deepak,

I have already made entries in "Proxy Mapping" with multiple values but when I tried to open link with HTTP, it does not automatically convert it in to HTTPS as it normally does for other sites like google, yahoo etc.

Is any other configuration is required apart from above?

Thanks

Hi Mehul,

Please check certain restrictions and relevant notes under this thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/2100502

Hope this matches to your scenario.

Secondly,

Do you have reverse proxy setup done for https ?

Hi Mehul,

This can ve achieved thru the use of Apache Reverse Proxy.

Your network team needs to setup 2 virtual server viz. one for ABAP server and another for JAVA server with the help of Apache Reverse Proxy scripts.

Provide them HTTP and HTTPS port number which you must maintain in SMICM and RZ10.

And get two seperate URLs from network team. say  : https://ABAPserver.com and https://JAVAserver.com

Please let me know if this is already done. Then will let you know how you can achive the task of automatic switching from HTTP to HTTPS.
