http and https for portal content

[former_member184680]

Hello,

is there a way to configure a system for portal content (in this case SRM) with a connection type http and https? Now I use http and it works fine but if the user use https for the portal the connection doesn't work. I need both types of connections.

Thanks

Dear Patrick,

Please have a look at http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/Convertinghttpto+https for Converting http to https.

There is no way to configure both connection types?

In your case I have to configure the connection with https and forward any incoming http connection to https. Is that right?

Hello Patrick,

There are restrictions/incompatibilities already discribed in SAP:

#[945516|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/945516]: Web Dynpro ABAP in a portal environment

BC-WD-ABA component:

...

o Internet protocol: http or https

The portal and Web Dynpro ABAP application must run using the

same Internet protocol. Otherwise the portal and the application

cannot communicate, which means that portal navigation and portal

eventing do not work for this application. The check is carried

out in the same way as the check for the domain

...

1. Plan the system landscape of the SAP Enterprise Portal according to

the following convention:

o Allocation of addresses for Web servers and client applications

with at least 3-step hierarchy.

o As of the second hierarchy level the address must be identical.

The addresses may only differ in the prefix.

o Identical protocols for all addresses (http/https)

#[644377|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/644377]: EP6 Iview/Page ClientSide communication doesn't work

...

(Note that if an iview and the portal are really from different domains

(excluding machine_name), for example:

Portal on "machine_name.sap.com" and iview on "machine_name.yahoo.com.,

such client side communication will not work. such as autoheight ,

Adding tray options in runtime etc.

Further,

If the iview and the page are called using different HTTP schmes (I.E

http/https), the same restriction applies here as well. Always use the

same HTTP scheme to access both the page (the portal server) and the

iview (backend server)

#[1428066|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1428066]: Security Warning for Flash-Components in Internet Explorer

(BC-WD-UR)

...

The HTML needed to be changed in the way that the plugin is always

requested from a https url instead of http. It is allowed from a non

secure url to load content from a secure url without a warning but not

vice versa.

...

Proxy mapping:

Depending on the situation, your proxy is responsible to determine which

content must be transferred via HTTPS so, in order to check these issues

there is the SAP Note # 812903. The note refers to NW 04 but it is

applicable to latter releases as well.

Hope this helps,
