Reverse Proxy and SAP NetWeaver 2004S

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I'd like to post a simple question.

I know that we can put a Reverse Proxy in front of SAP WebAS.

It can be Apache, SAP Web Dispatcher, etc.

I know we can proxypass like this:

http://reverse-proxy.abc.com/irj --> http://portal.abc.com/irj

However, is there a way so that we can proxypass like this (both AS-ABAP and AS-JAVA):

http://reverse-proxy.abc.com/xyz/irj --> http://portal.abc.com/irj

So far I've not succeeded in doing so, because the response I've got from SAP is always in the form of /irj/..... and not /xyz/irj/....

Is there any configuration in SAP to insert /xyz in front of /irj?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

For your requirement :

If you use the SAP Web Dispatcher as you reverse proxy, you can use the redirect functionality. Check the icm/HTTP/redirect_xx parameter in help.sap.com.

If you use Apache as your reverse proxy, check the URL rewrite functionality.

As far as I know, the SAP Web Dispatcher redirect module can't satisfy my requirement.

I am not an expert with Apache, but so far I have not found any solution on URL Rewrite on this.

Can you give me clearer example, please?

Thanks.
