How to enable HTTPS port with CE

Former Member — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 01:51:40 GMT

Hi experts,

We are using CE 7.11, now our CE portal can be access via HTTP with port 50000, what we want to do is access it by HTTPS with port 50001.

But now the port 50001 is not opened, when we access it from https://ourserver:50001, it reports "can't find server". I remembered the EP 7.0 the https port is opened by default, is CE different?

If we need to configure CE https port manually, how to? I've read the help documents from SAP, it say we need to configure the icm server port parameter in the profile file, but I can't find any ICM port setting from the profile file. So how to configure this?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Yang

Hi,

CE system is basically Netweaver AS with Java stack only. Hence you need to follow [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm] for J2EE engine.

Cheers

Hi Martin Voros,

Thank you for your reply. I've read this document, but my question is :

The port to use for SSL is set with the Ports property in the HTTP Provider service on the dispatcher. The default port is 5<instance_number>01. (See J2EE Engine Ports.)

Where can I set the port in the HTTP Provider service on the dispatcher in CE?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Yang

Hi,

it's written in that [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/52/46f6a089754e3a964a5d932eb9db8b/frameset.htm]. You need to set up HTTP provider. All services can be managed from Visual Administrator which is a basic tool for J2EE engine configuration.

Then probably this [presentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80212ef7-d9c9-2b10-02bf-a2d1c1ed0290?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] will help. BTW I guess that all these things are documented. So if you have s logon then you can use it to access installation guides on service.sap.com.

Cheers

Hi Martin Voros,

Thank you for your reply.

But I still can't find out:

Where can I set the port in the HTTP Provider service on the dispatcher in CE?

Could you specify?

Thank you and Best regards,

I can't be more specific because I don't have access to CE7.11. But have a look at slide 12 of that presentation. There is a mapping table and you can see that HTTP provider was split into three different sections: /nwa/http /nwa/logon-groups /nwa/virtual-hosts. I guess that the basic config is in first URL. You need to change property Ports.

OK, not everything is configurable from new web UI. It looks like you need to directly configure profile file as it is described [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/09/392712944fc6478c9f1ff198b6b0a7/frameset.htm].
