Hide Web dispatcher URL

[Former Member]

Hi,

we are looking for an option in web dispatcher Through that we can hide the re-directed URL completely.

Current behavior

Webdispatcher URL: - http://web.abc.com

After login :- http://web.abc.com/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/Fiorilaunchpad.html?

My query is that I want to completely hide the URL even after login also. after login it shows me complete URL ‘http://web.abc.com/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/Fiorilaunchpad.html?’

Please advise.

Profile parameter which is set.

Hi,

I am also looking for the same solution.

I know we can hide by creating the external alias in SICF. but it doesn't hide the entire URL.

steps:

1. tcode: SICF select Alias in "Hierarchy Type" . Press F8

2. click on new and create a new external alias eg FLP

3. In the Trg Element select the /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell

and save it.

you can then use the below URL .

https://hostname:port/FLP/shells/abap/Fiorilaunchpad.htm

Hi Devender, I still do not get why this should be achieved. For optical cleanup? There will always be URL parameters that will mess up optics.

If you want to achieve that typing in URL https://hostname:port/ in the address bar will launch fiori launchpad then this can be achieved by a redirect rule on ICM or SAP Web Dispatcher profile level.

What we did around this topic:

1. Define an external alias /fiori pointing to /default_host/sap/bc/ui2/flp according to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_uiaddon10/helpdata/en/c9/44dc71fc7d49b4a1239a4231563c80/content.htm to shorten Fiori URLs

2. SAP Web Dispatcher (or ICM) profile gets a line for redirecting root access to /fiori:

icm/HTTP/redirect_0 = PREFIX=/, TO=/fiori

3. To avoid that people continue to use the old FLP URL (without cache busting) the ushell service gets a redirect on logon error to /fiori

There are no complaints around fiori URLs anymore since then.

But perhaps you have different requirements? Please explain.

Hey Amit,

I've honestly never worried too much about the end part of the URL.

I have used DNS entries to mask the real hostname.  For our external facing SAP app, we use a web disp, but with an apache reverse proxy in front of it to worry about the URL.  Again, not so much for the "end" of the URL but for the hostname/port.  Sorry I'm not more help.

Hello,

As far as I know, there is no way to hide the URI path (everything after the hostname of the URL, the "/sap/bc/...").

Please advice how we can hide the URL. What should be the settings.

Thanks

Amit,

I know you said you wanted to "hide it".  But what would you rather it say?  A completely different domain name?
