HTTP/HTTPS Port for Web AS

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our Web AS 6.40 + EP 6.0 installation is running on Solaris box. We want to change WebAS http port to 80 and https port to 443 so that end user doesn't need to give the port number in the URL while accessing the portal. I am able to change the same through visual admin tool but WebAS doesn't run on these ports after server restart. Reason is Web AS is run by SAP Admin user (created during installation) and no user except root can run services below port 1024. I tried to run the start script with root login but it gives error saying that only sap admin user can run this script.

Any thoughts on how to achieve this. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mayer,

Thanks a lot for your response.

Went through above note and tried implementing. Actually it is little bit confusing. It doesnot talk of exact steps in straight way. It is talking of setting one parameter called icm/server_port_<xx> which I couldn't find out. If you have tried the same, could you please list the exact steps.

Thanks,

Hi Chandra

You may try the following:

1. From SAPGUI, run rz10

2. If you haven't run it before, you need specify a instance profile, such as DEFAULE.

3. Add the parameter such as "PROT=HTTPS, PORT=443, TIMEOUT=9000" for icm/server_port_3.

You may use smcim->goto->parameters->display to check how many icm/server_port_<xx> already been defined and use next integer.

4. Save and activate the changes

5. Shutdown SAP system

6. go to c:\usr\sap\<sid>\SYS\profile, copy the changes from default.pfl to default.

7. Start SAP system.

8. Run smcim ->goto->services to activate the https service.

Hope it helps
