Change portal URL and port number

Hello experts,
We are on EP 7.0 which is running on Solaris 5.10 and Oracle 10g.
Portal url is "http://hostname:50200/irj".
But we want to users to logon portal using "http://intranet" link.
How can we forwards portal default url to a different URL and port such as "http://intranet".
Steps should be followed in Visual Admin& Config Tool or in the Solaris system , in the network part?

The link pointed to how to change the default page of the Java engine to launch the portal. The example redirects to /irj/portal/anonymous - you just want to make it /irj/portal...
Setting up SAP Web Dispatcher is covered in SDN quite well - search for SAP Web Dispatcher in the search aree on the right. Basically it takes about 5 minutes to setup.

How Sap SDN do it? - navigation change Portal URL

Hi:
If you check SDN home page you´ll see that almost every link changes the url site but the content is display in content area ( do not change the page completly). I was wondering how that could be done as my EP has always the same URL.
I checked:
URL Generator Service
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7d/236cfa17034a37a439dc392ec59eb0/frameset.htm
Portal URL Aliases
Portal navigation
and ECPM stuff
I´m not quite sure if there´s a configuration at Visual admin/Portal that enables this behavior.
Thanks a lot for your time on this thread.
Rocío.

We can also create a unique url for every page or iview.
There is a property called Quick Link which exists for every page/iview
Let us say open a page as object and set the Quick Link property as 'abc'
Then you can access that page directly from the url // http://<yourhostname>:<portno>/irj/portal/abc
hope it helps you to some extent.

Our url like this 'http://host:448/irj/portal
here i want to hide the port number. instead of above URL i want to use below url 'http://host/irj/portal
My main aim is hiding port number in URL.
How to do this ?

Changing the portal URL of EP 6.0 SP 9

Hi,
our portal runs on an windowshost. At the moment we access the portal through the windows hostname. but we need to change the url to an internet address.
My question where can i configure the url the portal uses in his links? Where can it be set up or does it just use the windows related hostname ?
Cu

Hi Francesco.
You will have to use a reverse proxy such as SAP IISProxy or Apache to use a different URL then the one the portal uses internally.
If you setup a DNS record that points to the Windows server, you could run into trouble with SSO and KM.
There are many threads about this in the SDN, try to search for "external facing portal" or "reverse proxy".

Problem: Changing Language for Web Dynpro Java within NW Portal (i18n)

Hi Experts out there,
I hope all you had a nice Christmas and a big New Years Eve :)!!!
i got a challenge for you about WD Java and internationalization (i18n)
Here is the scenario:
We are using a SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 and my task is to implement some smaller Web Dynpro Applications.
These Applications must be i18n conform, so i just created (according to the corresponding WD Java tutorial) some ".xlf" files.
Okay...Everything is working fine. The user can log at the portal and the application is displayed in his language, which is "english" or "german". (the application is just a simple form)
So far so good...Now here comes the point where it's getting tricky...
When the user wants to change his assigned language (of the portal user) he can use the "personalize" button in the Masthead (-> change portal language). All the portal content should now be displayed in his new chosen language.
For example the user is logged into the portal with "german" as portal language and now changes his languages settings into "english". After this everything in the portal (navigation, portal iViews ) is displayed in the changed language (from english into german) ...
BUT: my Web Dynpro Java Application stays as the original languages setting was. That means the whole portal is now english, but my WD Java Appl. stays german .
Only if the user logs of and logs in again, the WD Java Appl. is displayed in the corresponding portal language...
VERY Strange?!?!
Can anybody give me a hint how to solve this problem?
I guess i have to re-initiate the Web Dynpro Application some how ...(like killing the application and restarting it ...) but is just a "weak guess"...
Any Help / Hint is more than welcome !!!
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
This correct see SAP Note [947081|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/947081]
If the locale for the Web Dynpro iView is changed in the portal (through portal personalization), this is not reflected in the running login session. The user needs to logoff and login again, in order to see the locale change in the Web Dynpro iView.

How to change the URL of a URL-iView over Code ?

Hi all,
i am getting started with the Portal-Application-Developement and want to change the URL of an URL-iView on runtime with java-code.
i have read the context and can get the Property url with this statement.
endContext.getProfile().getProperty("url")
But if i change this property, nothing is done.
endContext.getProfile().setProperty("url", "http://www.yahoo.com");
Where is my fault.
Thanks for help.
Regards Jürgen

Hi,
the context is of Type IPortalComponentContext.
I cant find no method getParameter() at the context or the profile.
The methods to read the properties of the URL-iView are
context.getProfile().getProperty("url")
context.getProfile().getAttributeValue("url")
But if i want to set (change) this attribute, nothing is done.

How to Hide user & pass in PORTAL URL

Hi Experts,
I need a help on portal URL. We are using SSA (Spend Analytics) in Portal. One of the option in portal is that you can generate an E-mail Link of a report which goes to users.
Link looks like this for end user (They receive it via E-Mail)
http://Host:Port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtrootxapps.analytics.ds_par.inbounds?guid=CC1E61FF_7B3F_45CB_A3BE_B00F6BD487B7&objType=REPO&objId=0DA4575B_3C28_E6D8_66C5_04008115C625
Users should be able to view this link as soon as they click on it. If a user is already logged into portal and copy and paste the link, it works fine. However, if a user is not logged in and copy and past this link to IE, It automatically changes URL to something else and shows user & password
This is how it looks like. URL changes to the following link..
http://HOST:PORT/irj/portal?j_user=XYZ_USER&j_password=XYZ_PASS&submit_logon=true
So I'm not sure what is making portal to redirecting the link to (http://HOST:PORT/irj/portal?j_user=XYZ_USER&j_password=XYZ_PASS&submit_logon=true) when they enter generated link (http://Host:Port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtrootxapps.analytics.ds_par.inbounds?guid=CC1E61FF_7B3F_45CB_A3BE_B00F6BD487B7&objType=REPO&objId=0DA4575B_3C28_E6D8_66C5_04008115C625) and why is it showing user/pass and from where is it picking user & password.
I kindly request all experts to please help me in this. I want to hide users/pass and make sure the link works fine without getting redirected it.
Your help is much appreciated
Thanks in Advance!!

Portal URL's rename

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement from the client where we need to change/rename the current portal url's.
And also our's is federated portal where we use EP portal as SSO to connect to BI , SRM & ECC reports.
EP portal: https://ep.abc.uk.net to be changed to https://ep.def.uk.net
same way we need to change all the components urls.. like..
ECC portal: https://ecc.abc.uk.net to be changed to https://ecc.def.uk.net
SRM portal: https://srm.abc.uk.net to be changed to https://srm.def.uk.net
Please let us know the procedure if anyone has already worked on this.
Thanks in Advance,

Hello Angela,
you should find everything you need in :
- the pdk-java sample 'event form' (eventform.jsp and publicparam.jsp)
- the pdk articles
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/ARTICLES/ADDING.PARAMETERS.EVENTS.TO.PORTLETS.HTML
(explained source code of the event form sample)
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/ARTICLES/primer.portlet.parameters.events.html
(what to do in portal once your jsp-application is running)
For your jsps, you'll know how to create the events, th event's parameters, how to call the htmlFrormActionLink() method, and finally get back the params from the request.
Else, to create a link to a page, use the constructEventLink() in the EventUtils class (see API DOC deployed with JDPK on your OC4J)
Hope this helps.

Simplify Portal URL

Hello.
EP6 SP15. Our EP6 will soon replace our company's home intranet site which runs on MS IIS standard port 80. Currently, when users want access to our corporate intranet site, they can open a browser and type "sooners" and the site's home page displays. "Sooners" is an alias for the hostname of the web server in our DNS.
Is there a way to set up the same type of alias for the portal? Our goal is to keep the same alias and have users be directed to the Portal homepage instead of the current intranet site. A user would type in "sooners" and be directed to http://hostname.domain.com:50000/irj. It would also be great if this alias stayed in the address bar and the normal portal url (http://hostname.domain.com:50000/irj was never seen.
I believe I've seen this type of redirection using a (Apache) reverse proxy, but is this possible using just the portal on an internal-only windows domain or must a reverse proxy be used?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Progress. More configuration changes to the httpd.conf file have paid off. I'm now redirected to the portal login page AND the portal url is hidden. YEA! (this was due to the "ProxyPreserveHost On" line in the code below). One more step and I'm there.
The reverse proxy doesn't seem to be forwarding the /irj. In other words, I can type "sooners" in a web browser and I'm redirected to http://portalhost.domain.com:50000 (displayed as http://sooners in the address bar) which is the JAVA admin page. I can also type in "sooners/irj" and I'm redirected to http://portalhost.domain.com:50000/irj (displayed as http://sooners/irj in the address bar) which is the portal login.
I would like to type in "sooners" and be directed to http://portalhost.domain.com:50000/irj (the portal login page).
Here's the httpd.conf code I'm using:
#Enable reverse-proxying
ProxyVia on
ProxyTimeout 600
#disable forward-proxying
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPreserveHost on
#proxy / both ways
ProxyPass / http://portalhost.domain.com:50000
ProxyPassReverse / http://revproxy.domain.com
#proxy /irj both ways
ProxyPass /irj http://portalhost.domain.com:50000/irj
ProxyPassReverse /irj http://revproxy.domain.com/irj
#proxy /logon both ways
ProxyPass /logon http://portalhost.domain.com/logon
ProxyPassReverse /logon http://revproxy.domain.com/logon
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

How do I use Sun Web Server 7.0u1 reverse proxy to change public URLs?

Some of our installations use the Sun Web Server 7.0 (update 1, usually)
for hosting some of the public resource and reverse-proxying other parts
of the URI namespace from other backend servers (content, application
and other types of servers).
So far every type of backend server served a unique part of the namespace
and there was no collision of names, and the backend resources were
published in a one-to-one manner. That is, a backend resource like, say,
http://appserver:8080/content/page.html would be published in the internet
as http://www.publicsite.com/content/page.html
I was recently asked to research whether we can rename some parts of
the public URI namespace, to publish some or all resources as, say,
http://www.publicsite.com/data/page.html while using the same backend
resources.
Another quest, possibly related in solution, was to make a tidy url for the
first page the user opens of the site. That is, in the current solution when
a visitor types the url "www.publicsite.com" in his or her browser, our web
server returns an HTTP-302 redirect to the actual first page URL, so the
browser sends a second request (and changes the URL in its location bar).
One customer said that it is not "tidy". They don't want the URL to change
right upon first rendering the page. They want the root page to be rendered
instantly i the first HTTP request.
So far I found that I can't solve these problems. I believe these problems
share a solution because it relies on ability to control the actual URI strings
requested by Sun Web Server from backend servers.
Some details follow, now:
It seems that the reverse proxy (Service fn="service-passthrough") takes
only the $uri value which was originally requested by the browser. I didn't
yet manage to override this value while processing a request, not even if
I "restart" a request. Turning the error log up to "finest" I see that even
when making the "service-passthrough" operation, the Sun Web Server
still remembers that the request was for "/test" (in my test case below);
it does indeed ask the backend server for an URI "/test" and that fails.
[04/Mar/2009:21:45:34] finest (25095) www.publicsite.com: for host xx.xx.xx.83
trying to GET /content/MainPage.html while trying to GET /test, func_exec reports:
fn="service-passthrough" rewrite-host="true" rewrite-location="true"
servers="http://10.16.2.127:8080" Directive="Service" DaemonPool="2b1348"
returned 0 (REQ_PROCEED)My obj.conf file currently has simple clauses like this:
# this causes /content/* to be taken from another (backend) server
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/content" name="content-test" nostat="/content"
# this causes requests to site root to be HTTP-redirected to a certain page URI
<If $uri =~ '^/$'>
 NameTrans fn="redirect"
 url="http://www.publicsite.com/content/MainPage.html"
</If>
<Object name="content-test">
### This maps http://public/content/* to http://10.16.2.127:8080/content/*
### Somehow the desired solution should instead map http://public/data/* to http://10.16.2.127:8080/content/*
 Service fn="service-passthrough" rewrite-host="true" rewrite-location="true" servers="http://10.16.2.127:8080"
 Service fn="set-variable" set-srvhdrs="host=www.publicsite.com:80"
</Object>
I have also tried "restart"ing the request like this:
 NameTrans fn="restart" uri="/data"or desperately trying to set the new request uri like this:
 Service fn="set-variable" uri="/magnoliaPublic/Main.html"Thanks for any ideas (including a statement whether this can be done at all
in some version of Sun Web Server 7.0 or its opensourced siblings) ;)
//Jim

Some of our installations use the Sun Web Server 7.0 (update 1, usually)please plan on installing the latest service pack - 7.0 Update 4. these updates addresses potentially critical bug fixes.
I was recently asked to research whether we can rename some parts of
the public URI namespace, to publish some or all resources as, say,
http://www.publicsite.com/data/page.html while using the same backend
resources.> now, if all the resources are under say /data, then how will you know which pages need to be sent to which back end resources. i guess, you probably meant to check for /data/page.html should go to <back-end>/content/page.html
yes, you could do something like
- edit your corresponding obj.conf (<hostname>-obj.conf or obj.conf depending on your configuration)
<Object name=¨default¨>
<If $uri = ¨/page/¨>
#move this nametrans SAF (for map directive - which is for reverse proxy within <if> clause)
NameTrans.. fn=map
</If
</Object>
and you could do https-<hostname>/bin/reconfig (dynamic reconfiguration) to check out if this is what you wanted. also, you might want to move config/server.xml <log-level> to finest and do your configuration . this way, you would get enough information on what is going on within your server logs.
finally,when you are satisfied, you might have to run the following command to make your manual change into admin config repository.
<install-root>/bin/wadm pull-config user=admin config=<hostname> <hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm deploy-config --user=admin <hostname>
you might want to check out this for more info on how you could use <if> else condition to handle your requirement.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gdaer?a=view
finally, you might want to refer to this doc - which explains on ws7 request processing overview. this should provide you with some pointers as to what these different directives mean
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gbysz?a=view
>
One customer said that it is not "tidy". They don't want the URL to change
right upon first rendering the page. They want the root page to be rendered
instantly i the first HTTP request.
please check out the rewrite / restart SAF. this should help you.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6599/gdada?a=view
pl. understand that - like with more web servers - ordering of directives is very important within obj.conf. so, you might want to make sure that you verify the obj.conf directive ordering is what you want it to do..
It seems that the reverse proxy (Service fn="service-passthrough") takes
only the $uri value which was originally requested by the browser. I didn't
yet manage to override this value while processing a request, not even if
I "restart" a request. Turning the error log up to "finest" I see that even
when making the "service-passthrough" operation, the Sun Web Server
still remembers that the request was for "/test" (in my test case below);
it does indeed ask the backend server for an URI "/test" and that fails.
now, you are in the totally wrong direction. web server 7 includes a highly integrated reverse proxy solution compared to 6.1. unlike 6.1, you don´t have to download a separate plugin . however, you will need to manually migrate your 6.1 based reverse proxy settings into 7.0. please check out this blog link on how to set up a reverse proxy
http://blogs.sun.com/amit/entry/setting_up_a_reverse_proxy
feel free to post to us if you need any futher help
you are probably better off - starting fresh
- install ws7u4
- use gui or CLI to create a reverse proxy and map one on one - say content
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6601/create-reverse-proxy-1?a=view
if you don´t plan on using ws7 integrated web container (ability to process jsp/servlet), then you could disable java support as well. this should reduce your server memory footprint
<install-root>/bin/wadm disable-java user=admin config=<hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm create-reverse-proxy user=admin uri-prefix=/content server=<http://your back end server/ config=<hostname> --vs=<hostname>
<install-root>/bin/wadm deploy-config --user=admin <hostname>
now, you can check out the regular express processing and <if> syntax from our docs and try it out within <https-<hostname>/config/<hostname>-obj.conf> file and restart the server. pl. note that once you disable java, ws7 admin server creates <vs>-obj.conf and you need to edit this file and not default obj.conf for your changes to be read by server.
>
I have also tried "restart"ing the request like this:
NameTrans fn="restart" uri="/data"
ordering is very important here... you need to do this some thing like
<Object name=default>
<If not $restarted>
NameTrans fn=restart uri from=/¨ uri=/foo.
</If>

SSO is not working for an Alias URL but is working for original portal URL

Hello,
We have a BSP running inside the portal and expects authentication.
When I run this BSP using the portal regular address everything is working OK and SSO is working after logging into the portal.
At next step, we have configured an alias for the portal URL at the DNS Server.
When activating the BSP from the alias URL it asks for 2nd authentication. Meaning, SSO is not working after logging into the portal.
I have activated an HTTP trace in order to see why and it seems like when running it from the alias name it recognizes it as a different domain and I assume this is why the authentication is coming up.
I would like to suppress this for the alias URL but don't know how.
I found this UME property on the server:ume.logon.security.relax_domain.level
This UME property controls the amount of sub domains to remove from the server name to obtain the domain for which the logon ticket is valid.
I have changed this property from its default value 1 to 3 (and restarted the server of course) which, in our case, leaves only ourCompany.com for the ticket in the original server URL. Yet, the authentication pop up is still not supressed when browsing through the alias URL.
Any idea what can I do next?
Thanks,
Roy

Hi Dezso,
I found the 401 let me know if I look on it right:
I have an entry node with two subnodes: request and response.
The response has:
<responseStatus>HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized</responseStatus>
And the request before that doesn't have any MYSAPSSO2 in it, all it has which is related to cookies is this:
<header name="Cookie">UserUniqueIdentifier=1174345919524; alreadyLogged=1179560552416</header>
<cookies>
<cookie name="alreadyLogged">1179560552416</cookie>
<cookie name="UserUniqueIdentifier">1174345919524</cookie>

Can you advice what to do next?

The portal url appears in external links in XML Forms

Hi,
I have created an XML Forms application that should contain a link to an external webpage.
In the Edit view I have created 2 text fields.
1 for the url and 1 urlname for the name of the link.
In the Show view I have created a link (Lable) with:
Hyperlink property: /DataSchema/DataModel/url
Schema Reference: /DataSchema/DataModel/urlName
Style : Function Link
When I run the application It renders the link as a link with the urlname as the name of the link.
Great !! ;0)
...but when clicking on the link it open up a new window with the portal URL + the specified url:
E.g.
Test data:
Name: Google
URL: http://www.google.com
Result:
http://<portalurl>:58000/irj/portal/http://www.google.com
Why does this happen? And what can I do in order to open up the new window with just the url that I have provided (http://www.google.com)
Thanks for any help !
Best regards
Rasmus

Hi All and thanks for all help
But..
The thing is that it has nothing to do with the application.
E.g. I have tested the SAP_APP_FAQs forms application delivered by SAP.
This forms application has an external link called Read more When I test this forms application everything is OK. It opens up the target URL in a new window e.g. http://www.google.com
This is exactly what I want so I make a copy (save as) of the project. I run the application and believe it or not I got the wrong result: http://<portalurl>:58000/irj/portal/http://www.google.com
I have not made any changes of the application!!
Can any tell me whats wrong?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Rasmus

Do restart ur portal for the changes to take effect.
Revert back if changes have taken place or not?
In addition,
U need to restart portal server ( logoff will not help)
