Hi,

is this really an error? Don't think so. It just says, that https does not work.

Hi,

This is from Workflow, when the workitem is clicked R/3 transaction PR05 is to be shown. In this situation the error is coming. <b>This is from EP/UWL inbox.</b>

This should not come as the R/3 user and EP user are same.

I was able to supress the message by;

Run transaction SICF, go to BBPSTART, double click on BBPSTART, go to Error Page tab, Logon Errors tab, System logon [Configuration], click box "Do not display warnings" also change Protocol [X Do not switch]

i guess its due to port conflict i.e the port is being used ..

or might me because of GUI settings on the target setting ...

HI Boobalan,

This is infact not an error,it is just a warning that https is not enabled on your server.If you can enable https on your server this warning will disappear.This will not hamper your work otherwise.If you want to enable https on your server please go through the follwoing link.

Hello Boobalan,

I would check the PR05 GUI Configuration button in SICF. Please make sure that there isn't any login parameters specified. Also more sure that the logon procedure is what you expect it to be. Also, do other links from workitems work correctly to the same system that PR05 is on? Thanks.

Hi,

Actually any transaction called is showing this logon window.

even after giving the username / password it is not logging in.

Hello Boobalan,

There should be a real error message then. This is just an informational message. If supplying the logon details still does not work then you should look for an error message. If none is displayed on the screen you should look into the traces in SM50 or ST11.

Hello Boobalan,

Did you configure the profile parameter icm/server_port_# with "PROT=HTTPS, PORT=8443" or something similar?

Edgar

Hi,

icm/server_port_# parameter is also set in ther RZ10. but still it is showing the error.

Hello Boobalan,

I would recommend going through the steps in note 816973 to determine where the issue is first. If the issue persists you will probably need to do a further analysis of the issue with higher trace levels and double check that the configuration is correct for https. Good luck.

Hi,

Previously the port 8443 was not opened. but now it is open,

still i am getting the error whe i try to activate the HTTPS service for port 8443.

It is showing the Operation failed (rc=1).

Boobalan.

Hello Boobalan,

You'll have to elaborate on the steps you have done and what is failing.

Did you go through the note 816973? Does step 5 work (echo and ping tests)?

Please check if this port is already in use by other applications or SAP instance.

If you running on UNIX, you can use the command to check the port "netstat -an|grep <port_number>"
