Hello all,
I've currently configured a Web Dispatcher 7.40, following the "one web dispatcher, two systems" scenario. The web dispatcher is connected to a SAP Gateway 7.40 (MS_FIORI) server, and a SAP BusinessObjects (SAP_BO) server as well. This is my first attempt at it, so I kept my initial configuration as basic as possible. Here's the web dispatcher configuration I'm using:
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=8100,
wdisp/system_conflict_resolution = 1
wdisp/system_0 = SID=FIO, MSHOST=MS_FIORI, MSPORT=8101, SRCURL=/devcrm/
wdisp/system_1 = SID=EXT, EXTSRV=http://SAP_BO:80, SRCURL=/BOE/
To successfully access my MS_FIORI backend via the Web Dispatcher I use the following URL: http://SAP_WEBDISP:8100/devcrm/
Recently we configured and activated a new HTTPS port on my MS_FIORI backend system. Now when I connect via the same URL as before, the logon page of MS_FIORI redirects me to a new HTTPS URL, which might be a good thing, but that will not work for my purposes because it by passes the web dispatcher. For example:
1. As before, I attempt to logon to MS_FIORI via: http://SAP_WEBDISP:8100/devcrm/
2. And I get a response back is this: https://MS_FIORI:8443/devcrm/
Notice that the hostname is no longer referencing the Web Dispatcher and now its routing to the HTTPS port. As a test, I temporarily deactivated the HTTPS port on MS_FIORI via SMICM, and things went back to working as before. I'd like to move towards HTTPS, but not before I understand what's happening here. Any ideas? How can I keep it from bypassing the Web Dispatcher?
Thanks,
Jose
