SAP Concur and AKAMAI whitelisting

0 Kudos

Dear all,

Our SAP PI team are making a test connection call to eu1.concursolutions.com from within our SAP PI 7.5.

We are using SOPHOS UTM 9 as our webfilter. So the connection route is SAP PI --> SOPHOS --> Concur Europe

eu1.concursolutions.com is in the trusted whitelist on the webfilter (SOPHOS) but the connection does not work.

Looking at the webfiltering logs we can see these ip’s being blocked.

"https://104.103.204.76/"

"https://23.198.64.104/"

which translate into

a23-198-64-104.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com

a104-103-204-76.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com

We know SAP Concur uses Akamai as a CDN (content delivery network) to provide better performance

Now if we add these Akamai IP’s to the whitelisting the connection works, but we are fully aware these could change.

Our questions are:

a) Why is SAP PI seemingly sending IP’s across to the webfiltering software rather than FQDN?

b) What have others had to implement on their web filters to allow all of the akamai ip range

Thank you

Andreas
