URL types into reverse proxy for BO Mobile Server

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we're just trying to get our reporting available to our mobile users both with laptop and tablets. In both cases we expose the BO Mobile and Web Server thru reverse proxy (ISA Server). For security reasons we would like open this internet traffic to the only URLs strictly required for the connection via browser or SAP BI App.
Knowing that we need to accept the internet traffic for URL type https://<publicaddress>/BOE/BI, but we're going to block https://<publicaddress>/BOE/CMC, which are the others to be opened (for example, is https://<publicaddress>/BOE/Portal* required?).

Thanks for your feedback

Run fiddler/http trace of all the workflows your users use and see for yourself all the URL's product is using.

Denis, thanks for your answer and sorry for the delay I'm back to you. Actually on browser (desktop)  side it's quite easy to debug the network activity and the following has been detected:

- <servername>:8080/BOE/BI

- <servername>:8080/BOE/portal*

Problem is still with the app. for this I should install some debug app requiring the device to be rooted/jailbroken...but I'd like to avoid this.

It's quite amazing that this info is not included in any Mobile Server installation guide...this should be something known by SAP. Or maybe it's my fault bcz I didn't search in the right places...

Thanks
