Enable https port in NWA

Hi SAP experts, how are the things?

We upgraded our Enterprise Portal las weeked from 7.01 to 7.3 SP08 and it is running fine.

But we have some Webdynpro applications that runs outside our company, we we have a server configured in our DMZ, with Apache and Webdispatcher, to use the load balance and the ProxyReverse.

After the upgrade we saw that these webdynpro applications are not running in HTTPS, because the ms/https_port is empty in our NWA configuration.

What we made: Add the parameter in our SID_SCS_SERVERNAME:

ms/https_port = 8101

ms/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=8101,TIMEOUT=120,PROCTIMEOUT=600

This paramenter is default and exists: ms/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=81$$

But is not running fine and in NWA don't appear the parameter that we add.

What should we do in this case?

Thanks for your help.

Marcos.

Since you upgraded your AS JAVA version, you will probably have to reinstall & reconfigure SAP Cryptographic library. See the attached link on how to proceed. If it's still not working, send relevant work directory traces and defaultTrace as an attachment (not embedded in the message).

Hi Samuli Kashi, thanks a lot for your reply.

But we have here the latest libsapcryto here, because we updated our Enterprise Portal in November 2012, and it is with kernel 401 (720).

We only need to know how to configure our WEBGUI to use https throught SAP Webdispatcher don't change it to http.

In our Apache is all ok.

Have you any idea how to configure it?

Thanks.

Marcos.

It is not a question of having the latest SAP Cryptographic Library. Any SAP update will remove the SAP Cryptographic Library from the SAP kernel directory so that it needs to be reinstalled.

That is an entire different question. Create a new thread on it. Short answer: Web Dispatcher needs to be configured to NOT terminate SSL if you want to keep using HTTPS all the way.
