Portal Logon URL

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am able to logon to the SAP Netweaver Portal using the URL: http://11.123.456.789:50000/irj/portal.

I want to logon to the portal with the URL: http://11.123.456.789. I dont want to logon with 50000/irj/portal in the URL.

I am using EP6 SP9.

Any help would be apprecited.

ThanksInAdvance,

Varma.

Hi

Number of options:

1) Creating a DNS entry forwarding request to http://11.123.456.789:50000/irj/portal.

When you type only the IP address, it looks for port 80 by default. Portal is installed on port 500000.

2) Other, option is to redirect using IIS as well.

I don't know how to configure redirect in J2EE Server.

Hi Rajendra,

1. You change the Port by opening the Visual Administrator and going to : Dispatcher -> Services -> HTTP Provider

Change there the "Ports" entry from (Port:50000,Type:http)to (Port:80,Type:http). Then go on "Save".

2. To remove the "/irj" from the portal URL you can create a index.jsp with the following content, and save it in the J2EE Documentation folder:

<Drive>:usrsap<SAPSID>JC<J2EE_instance_number>j2eeclusterserver0appssap.comcom.sap.engine.docs.examplesservlet_jsp\_default oot

<%

//Send the redirect using server redirection (not client script)

//This will also send the HTTP GET parameters

String queryString = request.getQueryString() ;

if (queryString==null ) {

response.sendRedirect

("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default") ;

} else {//redirect with HTTP GET parameters

response.sendRedirect

("irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?" + queryString) ;

}

%>

If you rather want do the configuration changes on the IIS, than take a look here:

Hope this helps,

Robert

PS: I would strongly suggest not to use the IP in the Browser URL, as this may lead to navigation problems.

Hi,

just assign a DNS alias as you would like to. That is the easiest way, because anyhow after moving to production, you will access the portal with DNS name.

Thank you

Rajendra,

If you do not want to use IIS or do not want to code any redirector JSP's then you can do as follows.

1. Do as what Robert said (step no 1)

2. If you are using NW 04 then logon to visual administrator and go to (on the cluster tab)

Server --> Services --> HTTP Provider

and onthe right panel in enter the value /irj/portal for 'Start Page'

Save the properties exit visual admin and restart J2E engine.

This is what I did today, if you face any problem let me know.

Hi,

At the moment, I can log into the portal (EP6) inside the server using the localhost link: http://localhost/irj/portal

But when I access the portal using the IP address and clicked 'Log on', the page seems to go nowhere very similar to a refresh.

Please let me know if you have an idea where I should check and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In the future you should create a new topic when you have a new question. This will allow you to reward those who provide answers to you questions.

The answer to your question is that you need to call the portal via it's fully qualified domain name.

Thanks and I will do that...
