Error: Remote access to the NetWeaver Administrator is forbidden?

[chandrababu_katta]

Hi,

We completed the installation of SAP NW 7.3 ehp1 on windows server and after completion of the installation i tried to access the portal by using http://hostname:50000/nwa" getting an following error "Error: Remote access to the NetWeaver Administrator is forbidden:See SAP Note 1451753 for details"

I followed the not and did the same as below

"

• If you do not want to restrict access to the administration requests to certain clients, remove the lines from the file or turn the lines into a comment:

            #if %{REMOTE_ADDR} !stricmp 127.0.0.1 [AND]

           #if %{REMOTE_ADDR} !stricmp ::1

           #RegIRedirectUrl ^/webdynpro/resources/sap. com/tc~lm~itsam~ui~mainframe~wd/(.)*$ /nwa/remote_access_error [QSA]"

And restarted the server but no use, getting same error.

Regards,

Chandrababu

Hello,

Check the file icm_filter_rules.txt and see if there is break line before the condition and the comment (#). If so you have to delete the entire content of the file and restart the system.

Hi David,Srivastava&Benjamin,

I did the following in \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\security\data\icm_f ilter_rules.txt

"# ICM Rewrite Rules for NWA (restrict access to local host)

#if %{REMOTE_ADDR} !stricmp 127.0.0.1 [AND]#

if %{REMOTE_ADDR} !stricmp ::1#

RegIRedirectUrl ^/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tc~lm~itsam~ui~mainframe~wd/.*$

/nwa/remote_access_error [QSA]"

If we want to delete the content which has to be deleted? I mean from where to where?

Regards,

Chandrababu

Like I've said put an empty file and restart SAP system and check.

Yeah, Thanks Benjamin,

  Its working by putting an empty text file in the specified location.

Thanks,

Chandrababu

Hash# out the rules or remove them correctly.

Also remove icm/http/mod_0 parameter from profile and restart.

Have you followed the SAP note 1451753 - Filtering administration requests for AS Java ?

Remove the contents of the \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\global\security\data\icm_f ilter_rules.txt and restart the Java stack.
