NWBC 5.0 + SICF configuration "do not switch to HTTPS"

[christoph_ostrop]

using NWBC with a http-URL (in system configuration setup) -

to avoid these certificate-warnings,

we changed (in tc: SICF) for webservice /sap/bc/nwbc/ to option "do not switch to https"

but after this, we could not logon to nwbc-session anymore .......

.... only a blank NWBC-screen apears, without navigation and without menue

whats wrong ?  -

do we have to change option "do not switch to https" for more webservices ?

       - not only for /sap/bc/nwbc/

maybe for all services under tree /sap/bc/nwbc/

It must be something with your AS ABAP, I remember seeing several notes addressing bugs in the HTTPS switch functionality. I just tested it on EHP7 SPS05 and it works fine.
