External url alias

[Former Member]

Hi ,

We are not using portal. So I want to give the user the direct url. But when I run my webapp its like

http://host:8000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zsalesapp

So I have confiugred the external alias by going to this link.

Now How to run my app with external url?

Thanks,

Hi,

if I understand you right, your question is how you can call your application via the alias.

It should be like:

http://host:8000/youralias

Kind regards,

Hi,

i basically want to hide the host and port number. how to do that?

Hi,

so you want to use a domain name for that, right?

E.g. http://www.mysite.com/myapplicationalias?

Or do you have the possibility to include your application in a portal environment?

Did you set up the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in your server with param icm/host_name_full?

Have a look at these links:

I think you also have to do some domain configuration on your server depending on your requirements.

The only way to "hide" the port is to use to configure your application server ICM ports to run on the default ports: HTTP: 80, HTTPS: 443. All modern browsers are hard wired to assume these ports when no port is specified.

thanks thomas. Can you please elaborate on this.

Not really sure what to elaborate on. You would change the Instance profile to set to port specifications to the defaults:

icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=80

icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=443
