Configure ADF with HTTPS connections

Hello.
I am trying to deploy an ADF application with the protocol https.
When I write the url:
https://[my_domain]/[my_application]
The request is done, but the adf controller answers suddenly with the url i sent, but it writes instead of https http, and adds in the end of the url a lot of get parameters like the next sample:
http://[my_domain]/[my_application]/faces/[my_wellcomefile]?_afrLoop=2328230397945919&Adf-Window-Id=w0&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=14g97quz_327&_afrRedirect=2328230626510965
I don`t mind the get parameters, I suppose that they are needed for adf to work. But the problem is that I need the request to connect with https, not with http, because my apache has only opened the port 8080.
Please, anyone can tell me how to configure adf to disable this redirection, or to configure the redirection to point to:
If the request comes from http -> redirect to http
if the request comes from https -> redirect to https.
Regards

Thanks Chris,
But I don`t think the problem is related with WebLogic Server. The weblogic is already with a ssl connection configured and working. In fact, after the redirection to the second url:
http://[my_domain]/[my_application]/faces/[my_wellcomefile]?_afrLoop=2328230397945919&Adf-Window-Id=w0&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=14g97quz_327&_afrRedirect=2328230626510965
if copy and paste this url but changing the protocol https:
https://[my_domain]/[my_application]/faces/[my_wellcomefile]?_afrLoop=2328230397945919&Adf-Window-Id=w0&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=14g97quz_327&_afrRedirect=2328230626510965
it works! So, summarizing, the problem is in the first redirection made in a transparent way for me.
Refering to the post of Frank Niphus:
Switching Http/Https in ADF
you can understand my problem and we can see a workaround, but I want all the requests to go to https, not only some of them like is done in this post.
Regards

Errors with HTTPS Connection to external server

I am trying to establish a HTTPS connection to an external web site in transaction SM59, but I get ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED errors. I get the same errors from a bespoke ABAP program.
I know the request is getting to the web site, but the response is not getting back into SAP.
This is not firewall related.
I have installed and configured the SAPCRYPTOLIB software for SSL support and entered the necessary instance profile parameters.
I have configured STRUST.
SM59 is setup for type G (HTTP Connection to Ext. Server) and port no. 8443
I have started the HTTPS service in SMICM
I have noticed an odd entry in the SCICM trace file, but dont know how to fix.
<i>ERROR => Connection request from (-1/65535/0) to host: mms-sap.sapmms.com, service: 8000 failed (NIECONN_PENDING)</i>
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your comments.
I've tried everything in SM59.
SAP refers to both protocols as HTTP.
I think the error is with the response coming back into SAP. SAP doesn't know what to do. It might be DNS related or I might need to configure the ICM somewhere. Oddly the response comes back into sap on port 8000 (which is HTTP). It went out on port 8443 (which is HTTPS).

Channel login error with HTTPS connection

Hi!
I have developed a Flex application which relies on remote object invocations to BlazeDS. I have applied custom authentication to the AMF channel, so login is required to invoke remote objects over the channel.
Application worked perfectly in development environment but at production environment I cannot get channel sucessfully logged in. I have debugged application and no response is obtained from server after channel.login() invocation. Backend resides on Apache Tomcat that listens on port 80. Server is fronted by a Proxy Server that sets HTTPS protocol (https://domain:80/context is set at browser URL although I request http://domain:80/context).
At development environment requests where made with HTTP protocol so I wonder if this issue is related with the HTTPS protocol present in the new server.
Do I need to configure my channels to use secure (HTTPS) communications? Why am I not getting any error response from channel login operation?
I reviewed server logs and It seems login AMF invocation are been tracked but I cannot get any response.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you Alex.
I've set this configuration in services-config.xml. First I tried using SecureAMFEndpoint but then I got an exception on Server that said a secure destination was needed (as it was secured) but was not receiving a secured request. I saw a post in a forum that said AMFEndpoint must be used instead of SecureAMFEndpoint when SSL is applied to a proxy that redirects request to Tomcat, not to Tomcat itself, and this is my case.
<services-config>
    <services>
        <service-include file-path="proxy-config.xml" />
        <default-channels>
           <channel ref="amf-channel"/>
        </default-channels>
    </services>
    <channels>
        <channel-definition id="amf-channel" class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel">
            <endpoint
                uri="https://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf"
                class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint" />
            <properties>
                <add-no-cache-headers>false</add-no-cache-headers>
            </properties>
        </channel-definition>
</services-config>
After setting this, channel is succesfully logged in and a remote invocation that is executed inmediatly after channel loggin is completed works OK. But when later I call another remote objects, I get request timeout errors and server is not reached.
Any idea of the issue?

New time capsule stops working with http connections

I have the latest 2TB Time Capsule. I've been getting a weird issue where my I can no longer can do http connections (i.e. browse the internet) but I can still use other internet capable services like Skype or Steam. It seems that traffic through port 80 just seems to stop working. All of my devices on my network experience the issue. I have even exchanged Time Capsules but the issue still presists.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you try using IF_HTTP_CLIENT~AUTHENTICATE method of class CL_HTTP_CLIENT.

FirstMidletServlet with http connection error

Ok so im quite new to midlets. Im trying to run the FirstMidletServlet which connects to a servlet using a tomcat server.
It builds fine and runs ok until i am prompted to us airtime in the emulator. Once i click ok it just comes up with "Error" absolutetly nothing else not in the console in the wireless toolkit or in tomcat server console window.
The servlet executes fine in the browser window so i know its not that.
Any ideas why? Heres the code below
Im running it on tomcat 5.5 and jdk1.5.0_14
import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.io.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
* An example MIDlet to invoke a CGI script.
public class FirstMidletServlet extends MIDlet {
    private Display display;
    String url = "http://localhost/Servlet/HelloServlet";
    public FirstMidletServlet() {
       display = Display.getDisplay(this);
     * Initialization. Invoked when we activate the MIDlet.
    public void startApp() {
     try {
            invokeServlet(url);
     } catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println("IOException " + e);
         e.printStackTrace();
     * Pause, discontinue ....
    public void pauseApp() {
     * Destroy must cleanup everything.
    public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
     * Prepare connection and streams then invoke servlet.
     void invokeServlet(String url) throws IOException {
        HttpConnection c = null;
        InputStream is = null;
        StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
        TextBox t = null;
        try {
          c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
          c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
          c.setRequestProperty("IF-Modified-Since", "20 Jan 2001 16:19:14 GMT");
          c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
          c.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-CA");
          is = c.openDataInputStream();
          int ch;
          while ((ch = is.read()) != -1) {
            b.append((char) ch);
            //System.out.println((char)ch);
          t = new TextBox("First Servlet", b.toString(), 1024, 0);
        } finally {
           if(is!= null) {
              is.close();
           if(c != null) {
              c.close();
        display.setCurrent(t);
    }

what do you mean, "prompted to us airtime in the emulator"? I don't see anything related to that sentence in the code you posted. Is there more code you aren't showing us? Where does it say "Error" at?
It promts you in the wireless toolkit that you are about to connect to an external connection. so you click yes then it trys to connect to servlet and get the "error" thats all it says on the wireless toolkit display!

Weird problem with http connection

hi,
i'm trying to implement a midlet that connects the mobile to an http server. i've downloaded several midlets and also tried the method given in the MIDP2 api documentation, but i doesn't work, it can't connect.
i tried it on several phones and some of them freeze during the Connector.open method, but the Nokia 6230i tells that i have to register to GPRS services before i can connect this way. :(
how is it that i can't connect with my midlet but i can do it through the wap function of the phone ? how can i bypass this problem ?
thanks.

i went to the parameters menu and changed "GPRS connection" to "permanent" but it didn't change anything. there doesn't to be any other paramter that could help with this. :(

SOAP with HTTPS Connection

Hi All,
For a requirement, I need to connect the PI with 3rd party Web server system for both inbound and outbound interfaces.
Currently, I am with SAP PI 7.31 single stack system. I was communicated as HTTPS without client Authentication option need to use.
As I read in some of the discussion, there is no need of using exchange certifications if HTTPS without client Authentication was selected.
My Basis team confirmed, we have installed the certificates in PI machine. I didn't see any option of selecting the certificate in the sender SOAP communication channel. we have already shared the SOAP URL(https://..... :HTTPS enabled port/.....) of the particular interface to web server team to trigger data. But in SOAP receiver channel, I have given the https:// based URL of the web server system along with the selection of HTTPS without client Authentication option.
When I pinged the Receiver Communication Channel, getting error as below.
What is the exact difference between the 1. HTTPS without client authentication
2. HTTPS with client authentication.
Can anybody explain the above questions in detail, particularly about the 1st once.
Regards,
Raj kumar.

Hi Harish,
Thanks for your reply.
Second link gave me the clarity on the with & without client authentication. Now I am clear about the Sender Soap Channel. Confirm me, I don't have to select any option, other than providing the https://... based URL of the webservice system at receiver SOAP Channel, right?.( If my requirement is https without client authentification)
Interface flow for my requirement will be
ECC --> PI --> Webservice system ( Do I need to choose any option?)
Webservice system --> PI ----> ECC.(Clear about this flow)
If no certificates are involved for without client authentication process, how much extent it will be secure by providing security at transport level only ?
Thanks,
Phaniraj.

Configuration update with Internet Connect and connection blockage

I have been having the same sort of problems (i.e., suddenly for no apparent reason, being unable to get or maintain an internet connection). I use an internal modem and Earthlink to connect, not dsl or cable. I ran across a discrepancy concerning configuration updates between the three places that allow me to select "Connect" (1) Sys Prefs-->Network-->can select from different configs/locations (2) Internet Connect-->can select from different configs, and (3) Earthlink's Total Access-->can select from different configs/locations.
I noticed that in Internet Connect the dots that represent my password were longer than that in Sys Prefs-->Network, but all Keychains contained the shorter, correct password. I can't change the password nor change or delete the configs in Internet Connect.
When I created a new config/location via SysPrefs-->Network, it showed up in Total Access, but not a peep of it in Internet Connect. Have tried trashing the prefs files for Internet Connect as well as deleting almost all keys in Keychain that relate to online access. No change.
I can now get and maintain a connection only if I connect using Network or Total Access. Any ideas on how to fix Internet Connect application?

I don't know if I can help much, but I think elko has the right idea about repairing permissions after an update. It's good practice to use Disk Utility to verify and repair if necessary both permissions and the disk. This will sometimes resolve the problem.
Another thing to check is all your settings for internet under system preferences. I have heard about things ending up too low in the heirarchy and not working properly for reasons that are unclear. You may be able to reconfigure it.
It is also possible you have an airport card that is failing intermittantly. You can try running the Apple Hardware Test and see if anything shows up in the form of an error code.
You could also try turning off the airport and seeing if you can connect by dial up using the internal modem. If you can, the problem may be with the airport. If you cannot, there is something else going on.
One long shot might be to turn the computer off and remove both the power cord and the battery for 30 minutes or so. You will have to reset the date and time after this. But sometimes things do "reset" and start working again.
As it happens, I have not had any problems on my iBook G4 following the latest updates, so it is likely not too common a problem. Your question has been out here for some time, and I hope someone more knowledgeable than I am will be able to suggest more things to try.
Please post back and let us know if anything has helped.
Good luck!

Getting username and password with https connection

I have a webservice that will authenticate the user to run a http://localhost:8080/soap/services/myService, I would like to call this in a form when a user clicks a button. So I require HTTP/s authentication on the SOAP service, and this brings up a prompt:
Connection at http://localhost:8080/soap/services/myService requires authentication:
Username:
Password:
Now on myService, I want to verify the username and password they have entered in that security prompt within my orchestration. How can I retrieve the username/password from the Acrobat security prompt?
If I need to clarify, please just let me know.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Paul,
That's sort of what I assumed was happening, but I'm not actually wanting to authenticate for the webservice call it seems. I'm wanting to capture their username/password via acrobat prompt then push it along to the soap service. So I guess via script I would want to do:
1. prompt the user for username/password via acro-prompt (not sure how to do this)
2. capture their input in variables (again not sure from acro-prompt)
3. set up soap message (I can do)
4. send data ("")
5. receive data on LC side and use the user/password to authenticate in a database table I created ("")
6. modify a field based on authentication allowed/denied ("")
It doesn't necessarily have to be an actual authentication box, but I just want a username/password prompt so I can get those values.
Thanks,
Alex

Problems with https connection

Hi there.
I use java1.4 and tomcat 4.0.I have trusted certificate.
And my code is:
try{
URL url = new URL("https://localhost:443/index.html");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
String str;
while((str=reader.readLine())!=null)System.out.println(str);
It makes exception:
java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be <localhost>
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsClient.b(DashoA6275)
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsClient.afterConnect(DashoA6275)

What have I done to avoid it?
Thnaks for your answer.
Tomas

Some things you could check are: Make sure the value of CN in your certificate contains your host name and also make sure your host name in the Tomcat host aliases this might help: http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/doc/Admintool4.html#64446

Hi Andrey,
even with access to the delta buffer it would be hard (I think impossible) to implement a new lines check.
1. You would need the data the query has read, possibly by reading again the data the query has read (vial plan buffer access). This is in general not possible since the query has much more filtering featues compared to the plan buffer (e.g. restricted key figures).
2. You would need a delta buffer access (but this is not exposed via an 'external API'), but this is not enough since the delta buffer does not care whether a record is new or old. One does not know this in the delta buffer.
To implement a real new line check (only 'real' new lines are allowed) one needs the old result set; this is not even known to the OLAP since e.g. for drill-down only the needed data will be read, not the full grid the end user sees in the front end. In the 7.0 code line this information is simply not there.
With the new infrastructure shipped in 7.01, SP05 (cf. note 1358614) a kind of new lines check in the above sense would be relatively easy (for SAP) to implement. But one question is, what is a new line, think of zero suppression, conditions ? Should the system take records into account filtered out by the above featues ? Should a new line check by a query property ?

Http connection to ABAP problem

Hey Gurus,
I have a problem with the configuration of a http connection to an ABAP system (type H ). Due to the PI Development Book I shall set up a connection called "XI_Integrationserver".
The target host is: saptest8 , port 50000.
The path prefix is: /sap/xi/engine/?type=entry
client
user: PIAPPLUSER
When I test the connection I get an 404 (Not found) error. But it should be an 500 (internal server error). In transaction SICF the engine is started. I don't know how to solve this problem. Please help me!
I'm using PI 7.01!!!
Thanks for any reply.

Hi,
the name does not matter, but "XI_Integrationserver" is missleading because the target is an application system, better would be "INTEGR_ENG_SAPTEST8"
Assumedly the port is wrong. Did you put the port of the ABAP WAS? Transaction SMICM / GoTo / Services

Access http connection

Hi,
How do I configure to access http connection so that file can be retrieve dynamically?
Eg: Remotely I have Xml application, with some services (length conversion, space conversion, weight conversion etc etc).
Total number of services must be retrieve to create GUI using swing - 3 services in this case = 3 button and labelled as length conversion, space conversion, weight conversion?
How can I do that ? Anyone interested to provide some guide ?
Regards & God Bless, Edison

Hi,
Will the external image will be fetched by the user browser or by the SAP application server ICM ?
If you want to use an SM59 HTTP destination, the image will be fetched by the SAP server and you SAP server needs internet access which is usually not allowed in most companies...
