Portal trying to fetch unnecessary url on every load

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing one issue that in our SAP Portal server, whenever we try to open the portal using the URL

https://devserv001:50001/irj/portal

then every time it trying to fetch third party URL for e.g. http://thirdparty.company.com:port

This thing I have noticed in HTTP watch.

Can you please give some suggestion to find from where this url is getting hit?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi, Kuldeep Verma.

One of the reasons of such behavior of AS could be that the portal is trying to authenticate just logged-in user in external systems. As I know, during the logon procedure AS exchanges some data by http with other servers from system landscape.

For example, if you have SSO with SAP BOBJ configured, when user enters the portal you can immediatly notice the connection session in CMS of BusinessObject server.

So, you need to observe the portal system landscape to find out what and why the URL is used.

Hope it could help.

Thanks Mikhail for your hint,

The entries of unnecessary url were maintain in visual admin in User Management Engine (UME) property ume.login.mdc.hosts.

So, every time it tries to send the some information to these url.

I removed the entries from the from ume.login.mdc.hosts and it works.

Thanks and Regards,
