SSL cert on Apache for SAP BI 4

[Former Member]

Hello!!!

I have the SAP BI 4 installtion including out of box tomcat on the Linux, and deployed the web application on the Apache and Tomcat using the split mode deployment. In order to use the https://, we did install the SSL digicert on the Apache.. But the https doesnt work...

Please let me know if you guys have implemented this ?

Thanks!

Implementing SSL on Apache web server has nothing to do with BI 4 or BOE in general.

What exact part doesn't work ?

Have you used http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ssl/ssl_howto.html or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/Apache_SSL_Howto ?

If you use KB search on SMP - there are more than 40 KB articles on Apache SSL....  do any of them help ?

Hi Denis!

Thanks for your reply!

When we did the split deployment, the apche web and tomcat app servers are inter related config.. After installing the SSL Digicert on the Apache, when I launch the https://hostname/BOE/BI, it gives page cant be displayed error message..

I tried modifying the SSL section in the tomcat/conf/server.xml file on the BI installdir.. but didnt help.

Am I missing anything here?

Please advise?

Best Regards!

did you enabled SSL on both Apache and Tomcat or on Apache only ?

Usualy, Apache is the only one you need to change.

can you get to http://apacheURL/examples and https://apacheurl/examples ?

We enabled SSL only on Apache.. I didnt enabled on tomcat yet...

FYI.. we are using the apche build being shipped by RedHat.. It's 2.2.x.. I am unable to acess examples..

Please advise?

in that case Apache forums and How To's will be your best bet.

You can start with links I provided earlier.

Hello!

I tried using the https://hostname/manual.. It works well..

But, when tried  /BOE/BI...It gives page cant be displayed...

I guess there is something we need to do on the tomcat as well.. as we did split deployment of war file using the following

./wdeploy.sh tomcat6 -Das_mode=split -Dws_type=apache deployall

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks!
