Using https instead of http

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is it possible to set web dynpro for abap to run under HTTPS and HTTP protocol? There exists already a HTTPS service, but how can my WDA application take use of it. In the URL of ma WDA application I see a http address. How can I change it to a https address?

Best regards

Hi Stefan,

Here is how you can do it:

First, you need to know the port inwhich the HTTPS service is running. Here is how to find it:

1. Execute transaction 'sicf'.

2. Just click on execute (F8).

3. In the next screen, use the following menu options:

Goto->Port Information (ctrl + shift + F12).

You will get a popup window. In this window, you can see the port number of the 'https' service under the column 'service'. Note this number.

The last step is to replace this port number with the existing number in ur application's URL. Also, replace 'http' with 'https' in the URL.

For ex:

Normal app URL:

http://server.sap.corp:12345/sap/bc/webdynpro/xyz/xyz?sap-language=EN

HTTPS URL:

http<b>s</b>://server.sap.corp:<b>54321</b>/sap/bc/webdynpro/xyz/xyz?sap-language=EN

Thats it.! You can now, use the new URL for secure communication.

Hope this solves your problem.

Hi Stefan.

If you add a favourite to your SAP GUI Menu for your WD4A App you can choose to start with HTTPS.

Also you can go to the service (SICF) of you app and set Security Environmet to SSL in the Logon Data tab.
