Unable to access Webdynpro abap application externally

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have created a WebDynpro ABAP application,it is a simple application talking to the ECC.

We are able to run this application on our portal within the network,but when we try to access the application from an external network it says Internet Explorer page cannot be displayed.

We are not using any Web Dispatcher.

Thanks

Mayi

You need to talk to your network administrators. Probably your ECC system is within your corportate network and behind a firewall that doesn't allow requests in for these servers/ports. You need to work with your basis team and network team to open the appropriate ports and IP addresses in the firewall. However you should also still provide protection for your ECC system with some forms of reverse proxies as already suggested. This is a security process you should perform with your local admins. This isn't really a Web Dynpro ABAP related process or inquiry.

Hi Mayi,

You have to configure a web dispatcher or a reverse proxy (eg. Apache). In standart wda runs in 8002 port. You have to configure reverse proxy on running 8002.
