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.

Hi Denny,

we are looking for the same thing with Netweaver04 AS-Java and Apache2.

By now we couldn't make it because the logonServlet always redirects to /logon

I found some SAP notes for that but nothing really helpfull.

If not already done have a look at the notes 812901, 812903 and 791080.

May be you can also have a look at 833960.

But I don't like that note because it seems to tell me that it is not possible to do it

Any suggestions and ideas would be great.

Regards

Hi Martin,

we do not have the answer yet, either.

I've read somewhere else, that it may be possible to do the proxy mapping, but we still can't change the root URI.

I believe this is what SAP calls reverse-proxy filter.

Example:

http://www.abc.com/irj/entry --> http://portal.abc.com:50000/irj/portal

So it's not really what we need.

I hope a guru from SAP will read this post and give an answer to us.

At the moment, we decide to dedicate another hostname for our portal.

regards,

Denny
