HTTPS with load balancing

Hi guys,
We have a portal system with instance 08, so we typically connect to the portal using port 50800 for HTTP, and 50801 for HTTPS.
We have just created a second server node for this portal (in the config tool).
When we connect to 50800, does this automatically load balance the user to the better server? From some reading on these forums, it seemed to indicate that load balancing will only occur if I connect using port 8109. (where 09 is the instance number for the SCS of our portal)
When connecting to port 8109, we are redirected to port 50800, as I'd expect.
Question 1 - do we need to use 8109 for load balancing, or can we still use 50800?
Question 2 - If we need to use 8109, which is a HTTP port, how can we achieve load balancing with HTTPS. Is there a different port we need to use to have HTTPS with load balancing?
Question 3 - Is the creation of a second server node the best way to accomodate additional users and load on the portal system, or is there a better way to do things?
Thanks,
Michael.

Better late than never.
The load balancing you describe through the message server has its limitation. It redirects you to one of the dialog server hosts which means that any bookmarks will always point directly to a dialog server which may be down at that moment.
Access directly to a dialog server on port 50800 will sort of load balanc on the java server instances that are on that server but not on other servers.
The general recommendation is to setup an external loadbalancer and SAP Web dispatcher is a good match if the load is not very high. SAP webdispatcher will then bind up the cluster address and act as a proxy towards the dialog servers of the portal. The user will therefore only see one address. This will also work for HTTPS.

  • System with load balancing server

    Hi All,
    We are having SAP NW 7.0 Portal and back end we have R3 implemented in a cluster environment.  The system object in EP have used "System with Load balancing" template; using the LOGON group and the other related parameters.
    But we have some problem with the ITS and WAS parameters; since we are using some Transaction iViews.
    Let me explain.. for the R3 cluster we have 2 systems PROD1.domain.ext and PROD2.domain.ext. Now in the system object in portal, how to specify the parameters for ITS and WAS parameters? Since the host name in these we need to specify a single server which defeats the basic purpose of having clustered environment.
    Can any one please help in resolving this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sravanthi

    Hi Sravanthi,
    Please check the below for finding ITS and WAS parameters from backend :
    For ITS - Go to SE37 >> Utilities >> Setting >> Click on ICON Right Top Corner in popup window >> Select Internet Transaction Server >> you will find the Standard Path and HTTP URL.
    For WAS - Go to SE37 >> Run FM - RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET >> Execute it >> you will find PRefix and PAth paramter for WAS.
    Please refer to this may help step-by-step : How-to create a portal system for using it in Visual Composer
    Hope it helps

  • Moving SMTP server to Azure with Load balancer

    How to

    Hi TechM,
    Base on my experience, Windows Azure Platform does not provide out-of-the-box mail server (neither SMTP nor POP3). You could use SendGrid to sent mail. About this issue, I recommend you could refer to

  • How to configure R/3 System with Load Balancing?

    Hello,
    I've created a Web DynPro Application and I would like to case an iView on  it. According to SAP tutorials I first need to configure an R/3 System with Load Balancing.
    My problem is how to configure the "WAS Host Name".
    According to the tutorial:
    WAS Host Name = <host>.<domain>:port (this corresponds to the Web Dynpro server location and the port on which it is running eg. PXYZ.wdf.sap.corp:50000.)
    I am using NW 04 and my portal is running on this address:
    http://ep6sp9test:50000/irj/portal
    When I set the WAS Host Name to ep6sp9test:50000 the Test connection fails (I have privildges and created an alias and User mapping). What should I put at this field then?

    Hi
    I think you have to specify the HTTP port og the WAS running the R/3 system. The 50000 port is the HTTP port of your portal - not the R/3 system.  You can see the HTTP port of the R/3 system using transactioncode SMICM - services in the R/3 system.

  • Recommended configuration for load balanced Portal with load balancer, multiple gateways and multiple servers.

    Does anyone have a recommended network, hardware and software configuration guide for a Portal installation running with multiple gateways load balanced (ie one URL) that talk to multiple servers?

    David,
    We've used Resonate (software) to load balance the gateways. It allows
    you to group all the gateways under 1 virtual URL and load balance the
    incoming connections over each gateway depending on the rules that you
    define in Resonate. Look in the SUN portal whitepapers there is one that
    talks about it specifically.
    As far as load balancing the calls to the portals, the gateways will
    automatically load balance across all the portals that they know about
    using a simple round-robin rotation. You may be able to use Resonate in
    front of the portals but you may need to activate persistance within
    Resonate to ensure that the user always ends up on the portal that he
    established his initial connection on (if you want that), check with Sun
    on this one.

    I have the same problem,and solved it following the steps provided by Bogdan Rokosa  :
    you must insert an entry for your R3 system
    (like: sapms<SID> 3600/tcp)
    in services file
    (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services) on Java WAS.
    I test the Jco successful without restart J2EE Engine.

  • Trouble in a SAP system with load balancing

    Hello masters:
    I had a trouble with workitems that came from a SAP system with load balancing. They doesn't receive the workitem ID in the UWL.
    I created another system in the portal as a "dedicated application server", and made the necessary configuration in order to replace the first one, and then my workitems worked fine.
    However, I would like to know what appened with the first system created as "system with load balancing". Why this system didn´t pass the workitem ID to the application (web dynpro abap) that execute the workitems?
    Thank you.

    I hope there was some missing configuration in the first case which was not replicating the workitem from SAP Inbox to UWL.
    Thanks

  • BM clustering with load balancing

    I want to implement BM clustering with load balancing according to AppNote written by Steve Aitken from March 25, 2005.
    It's clear that I need to use two private addresses (from the example, these are 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11). However, I'm not sure what are IP addresses 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.10.2 used for?
    Existing BM servers have two NICs: first defined as private and the second as public addresses connected directly to Internet (they are from different subnets).

    What do you mean "aren't able to get out through any of the ip
    addresses"?
    Do the addresses show up in any of the proxy nodes with display secondary
    ipaddress? Does the proxy console option 17 show the server listening on
    those addresses?
    Is the gateway timeout error a BorderManager (or Windows) error? If
    BMgr, then check that BMgr has a correct default gateway, DNS is working
    (option 4 on proxy console screen) and try dropping filters for a test.

    Got it working. I noticed that my dns setting in BM2 didn't coincide with settings in BM1. So, I made them the same and reinitialized the system on both servers. Of course, when I did that, it added the secondary IP addresses. So, I'm really not sure what was stopping it from working before, unless I have something misconfigured that's preventing the secondary addresses from loading. Go figure.

  • SSO with SAP R/3 with load balancing as backend over the Web AS

    Hi,
    we have Netweaver 2004 at this time and we have to connect the portal to a BSP application in a load balancing environment.
    We set user mapping for the user and set the connection type from SAPLOGONTICKET to UIDPW. This is running for a test environment with only one R/3 system without load balancing.
    Does anyone know the setting parameters for a load balancing environment (ok, the message server and...?).
    Thank you.
    Best regards
    Patrizia

    Hi all,
    run into the same problem. Setting up a mapping with UIDPW in a non load balanced WEB-AS enviroment for BSP or Webdynpro for ABAP works fine. But if I go to set it up in a balanced system I can see the following behavior. The http request is send to the messageserver. This request enclosed my mapped user and password. The messageserver responds with an HTTP 301 wich contains one of my applicationservers, so far so good. The client sends a new request to the mentioned applicationserver but this time without the UIDPW. So the user will not be logged in.
    I was wondering if my backend have to issue logonticket too, cause today it only accept tickets from the portal.
    Is this is a bug or a feature?
    Regards,
    Bernd

  • Https through load balancer breaks declarative security

    Hello,
    My desired setup is for a Jboss cluster serving requests behind a load balancer. Also I intend to use declarative security on the deployed units and have ssl client side authentication.
    I need someone to please confirm/deny the following statements:
    1) ssl has to be negotiated by the load balancer, whether hardware or software based (apache with mod_proxy/mod_jk).
    2) if using apache with mod_jk it is possible to configure it to send the client side authentication details (certificate) in such a way that jboss may enforce declarative authorization as if it had done the authentication itself. This also means that the programatic means to get the authenticated user identity described in the ejb and servlet specs will still work.
    3) there is no hardware load balancer that supports the behavior described in 2), which means that with a hardware load balancer it is impossible to use declarative authorization enforcement.
    After a whole lot testing and digging up for info, I'm quite desperate to solve this question, so if someone could help me I would be most thankfull.

    After further research, I think the best course of action will be to create a VLAN for the zone behind the BigIP and then create the corresponding interface in the vlan and zone. Using this links as my references in case anyone is interested. I'll post what I come up with.

  • X.509 certificate based authentication with load balancer

    I've been asked to implement certificate-based authentication (CBA)
    on a weblogic cluster serving up web services. I've read through
    Chapter 10 (security) and understand the "Identity Assertion" concept.
    Environment:
    Weblogic 8.1 cluster fronted by a load-balancer that handles SSL and
    uses sticky-sessions.
    Question:
    If the load balancer is used to handle SSL, do I still need to turn
    on SSL on the weblogic cluster in order to use CBA? Is there another
    way to request the client's certificate?
    If the above is yes, what is the minnimal level of SSL? Does it have
    to be two-way?
    If SSL has to be turned on is there any reason to use the load
    balancer's SSL? Is there still a performance benefit?

    Hi George,
    If you want the client's cert, the server has to ask for it and this
    implies two-way SSL. Normal one-way SSL the server provides the cert to
    the client and the client decides if it wants to continue the handshake.
    If the client is OK with the server certs and two-way SSL is configured
    on the server, then the server will request the client send it's certs.
    If the client certs are OK, then the pipe is established.
    Concerning the load balancer I'm assuming it is simply providing a
    tunnel, but I don't have the experience to comment and it is something I
    would suggest that you that you seek guidance from our outstanding
    support team [1] or drop a note in the security newsgroup [2] for the
    experts to review.

    After running autoconfig, I still get frontpage for http://ebs1.oracle.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin & http://ebs2.oracle.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin  which eventually redirects to http://ebslbr.oracle.com:8000/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=28716&resp_id=-1&resp_appl_id=-1&security_group_id=0&lang_code=… but which is wrong (there is no load balancing at all)...as my local desktop system32\drivers\etc\hosts file have following entries,
    172.18.0.101    ebs1.oracle.com
    ebslbr.oracle.com    ebslbr
    172.18.0.102    ebs2.oracle.com
    ebslbr.oracle.com    ebslbr
    so,
    ebs1.oracle.com:8000 -> ebslbr.oracle.com:8000 (It will always go to 1st node only)
    This can be also proved  by,
    [applmgr@ebs1 ~]$ telnet ebslbr.oracle.com 8000 (telnet to ebslbr always going to 1st node on ebs1)
    Trying 172.18.0.101...
    Connected to ebslbr.oracle.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    [applmgr@ebs2 scripts]$ telnet ebslbr.oracle.com 8000 (telnet to ebslbr always going to 2nd node on ebs2)
    Trying 172.18.0.102...
    Connected to ebslbr.oracle.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    This should be round robin fashion...
    Can you please help me, what is going wrong here ?
    your help would be much appreciated ...

  • Help: AM Agent working with load balancing AM Server

    Hi,
    We are trying to set up the policy agent to work with two AM Servers behind a load balancer.
    The agent deployment document said that in the AMAgent.properties we must set
    com.sun.am.loadBalancer_enable=true
    According to the AM deployment guide(http://docs.sun.com/source/817-7644/appE_loadbalancerconfig.html),
    we also set in the AMConfig.properties something like
    com.iplanet.am.lbcookie.name=server1
    com.iplanet.am.lbcookie.value=server1
    The loading balancing just does not work. Can anyone explain how AM agent works under such an deployment
    environment? Some people say the agent can find the real server using the naming service, but the not
    much explanation can be found.
    More info on our two machines:
    The two AM servers are named server1.domain and server2.domain. The virtual LB name is server.domain.
    The two AM servers were installed using the host name server.domain. We added the servers' real name
    in the AM's fqdnMap. At the agent config file, the name service is pointing to the LB.
    Really appreciated any advices.
    Regards,
    Henry

    Thanks for your reply.
    We figured it out lately thanks to help from Bernhard.
    1) use each machine's name to install the AM servers using the same LDAP server.
    2) In AmAgent.propeties, set com.sun.am.loadBalancer_enable=true
    3) In AM server platform, add in all machine's names
    4) In Organization alias, add in two machines' name
    5) In fqdnMap, add in load balancer's name
    6) In LB, set cookie stickiness based on cookie JSESSIONID
