Authentication URL of SAP Portal Server.

[midhun_vp]

Hi,

I don't have much idea portal ( I am an SAP mobility consultant ) but I need to develop a mobile app that authenticate against the portal server. I had experience in developing mobile app authenticating against the SAP servers, I used the ping URL of SAP server ( http://********:8000/sap/bc/ping?sap-client=400 ) for this.

I need an authentication URL for portal server similar to the SAP ping URL. Could anyone please help on this ? The default login url of the portal didn't work here ( http://domain:50000/irj )

Thanks in advance.

How didn't it work? You weren't shown the logon screen? Is SSO enabled for the portal? If so and SPNEGO is used, you can append ?spnego=disabled to the URI to force authentication by credentials. If any other method of SSO is used, you will probably have to create a resource on the portal with a custom login module configuration so that authentication by credentials is always enforced.

Hi,

Try this if you get some reponse.

http://domain:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/

or

Call the message server port.

http://domain:8101/msgserver/text/logon?version=1.2

thanks

first url comes like that but second should work with all the port in response.

Check if the port are open if firewall is there.

Thanks Rishi

Hi Rishi,

As you mentioned it is getting me the below response for the URL http://domain:8101/msgserver/text/logon?version=1.2

but it is not satisfying my requirement. I need a url that can be used exactly like the ping url of SAP

( http://********:8000/sap/bc/ping?sap-client=400 ).  If I am  executing this  url in the  browser the response looks like this,

I am searching for a similar solution. When I am trying with the given urls for portal server I am getting this error while configuration in Sybase unwired platform (SAP Mobile Platform). "The server at the specified URL is not setup to authenticate the user".

Hi,

I thought that you need a service where you dont want to do authentication check. If you want to do authentication check then why dont you ask a developer to create a url iview and call the same ping service from the backend using portal or use the suggestion provided by  Samuli,

Thanks

When you say developer, may I know who is responsible to develop this?

Hi,

Developer on portal who can create iview and map it to user and backend service.

Thanks
