HTTP and HTTPS (SSL) at the same time?

[Former Member]

Hi

In our company we will use SAP Portal as a external facing portal and as portal that uses authorisation and authentication (logon) . The question for us is: Is it possible to run the EFP without SSL and the “securede portal” with SSL? Where do I find documentation?

Thanks

Hi Christian,

yes, you can run the portal with HTTP and HTTPS at the same time - it's just a question of the URL you are entering in the browser...

<b>BUT:</b>

If you access your portal with HTTPS <b>all</b> content provided by the portal should be accessed with HTTPS too - otherwise you will get security warnings in IE and maybe some strange behavior of the integrated content. Session Management to SAP backend systems will not work also...

Vice-versa: if you access you portal with HTTP all content should be accessed with HTTP... obviously...

So if your content for the external facing portal is completely seperated from the internal content - yes you can access the portal with differen protocolls.

If it is not seperated - and that includes KM objects also - then better use one protocoll for both only!!

Hth,

Michael
