Regarding http port of ECC

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are on ESS 1.0, EP 7.0, ECC 6.0.

Developed few custom applications in ABAP Webdynpro and integrated into Portal.

Webdynpro ABAP iviews only works if the http port of ECC (8001) is opened.

Now the ESS is supposed to accessed from internet - here the problem comes in.

We do not want to expose the http port 8001 of ECC to internet.

If the 8001 port is blocked it shows "Page cannot be displayed". Is there any way to make the applications work without opening the port ?

Please share your experience......Appreciate your help greatfully.

Regards,

Anil Kumar

Hello,

You can configure SSL for your ECC Application server so that you expose a HTTPS port instead of HTTP.

Read the concepts first and then goto the procedures.

Please check the link below:

Hi,

According to me without opening port its not possible to access the application outside.

Also check with firewal application regarding port.

Use a webdispatcher or a hardware load balancer. You can open the port 8001 between your webdispather/load balancer and your backend, but you only open 443 on your webdispatcher/loadbalancer to internet.
