EP Implementation in DMZ

[Former Member]

Hi, We currently have a requirement of allowing our business partner to access our EP. We currently have an EP for our internal user. May I know if it is advisable to have our current EP placed in the DMZ so that our business partners can access it too? Or we can put another EP inside the DMZ for the our partners to use? Thanks.

No need to put EP in DMZ. You can have Reverse proxy (Apache or ISA) in DMZ and portal behind the fire wall .

The simplest thing is a SAP Web Dispatcher in the DMZ accessing the portal inside the inner firewall..

Hi Guys,

All your replies were very helpful. But I think, Michael's suggestion on deploying the web dispatcher is the simplest approach.

Big Thanks! Cheers!

Hi,

A common approach is to put a reverse proxy in the DMZ which forward the request to your internal portal. It is not advisable to put your internal portal outside of the firewall.

I agree with Erwin. That's what we are trying to do, put a reverse proxy in the dmz and the portal in the internal network.

You can use the same portal to other groups also.

The only thing requred is proper authorizations to the user groups.

You need to assign only the relevant roles to the user/group of users.
