Define a Portal URL Alias

Hi gurus,
Is possible to define an alias for my portal URL? I want to use an URL like http://myportal.com/irj/portal and I don't want to use an URL like http://server:port/irj/portal.
Thanks a lot!

Different Portal URL Alias

Hi
I have a portal and it is http://abc:50000/irj/portal.
I want to setup another Portal URL Alias http://abc:50000/XK03
When user access this URL http://abc:50000/XK03, it will redirect to a transaction iView in PCD.
Only this special URL http://abc:50000/XK03 will be redirected.
Please let me know if this is possible with configuration or development.
Thanks.
Regards
Mike

1. Does it have to be http://abc:50000/XK03 or is it also allowed to go for http://abc:50000/irj/portal/XK03
If so then you could use "Quick Links" see the following for details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/97/b0ef8b24a64ae884f0ab246e54cae5/frameset.htm
2. If http://abc:50000/irj/XK03 would be allowed then you could go for this solution:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/48/1d5d0171364269e10000000a421937/frameset.htm
(also mentioned by Mayank Mehta )
3a.If it has to be http://abc:50000/XK03 then you have to build a small web-application that is configured as /XK03.
(context root must be set, I guess).
OR
3b. You could also setup a SAP Web Dispatcher and configure:
- (SAP Web Dispatcher 7.01 and before) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/48/3d993fb08c72d1e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
- (starting from SAP Web Dispatcher 7.11 also the following) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/48/9266acaa6b17cee10000000a421937/frameset.htm

Portal URL alias

Hi SDN.
my portal version is Ep 7.0 SP 15, and our IE is 7.0 . I am creating an URL alias as described in the blog "Using Filter ID in SAP Portal unfortunately it does not work, when I tried login to my portal using "http://portal:1234/irj/portal/internal" its showing the login page and logging in And unable to pickup the desktop.
have noticed a strange thing when I tried logon as http://portal:1234/irj/portal/internal1 or http://portal:1234/irj/portal/internalsdfsdfsdf or if I use anything at the endof the alisas still it is opening the page and logging on. that was the reason I think am not getting the portal desktop .
does anybody have the same issue?can some body please check on your portals and suggest a solution please.

This should not be very difficult to get it working.
Did you make the changes in all the server nodes ?
/usr/sap/<SID>/<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/serverN/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf
Did you restart the portal after making the changes in web.xml file ?
In your rule collection, do you have the IF condition for the URL Alias = portal/internal at the top ?
Also, check the how to guide:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10da65ed-615b-2d10-efbc-ed07a5385633?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true

Obtain portal Url Alias in a DC

Hi all,
is there a way to retrieve the UrlAlias portal from a jsp (or java class) in an abstract portal component?
I can successfully retrieve servername, port and intercept if it is a http or https but I don't know how to recover UrlAlias.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Hi Balloni,
You can get the value of the portal alias in the logon page in this way:
String portalAlias = (String) request.getAttribute("PortalAlias");

Url alias for portal

Hi All,
I am new to this portal
Can anybody suggest me a way to create alias for my portal.
i want to access my portal using http://<servername>:<port>/sapportal without using http://<servername>:<port>/irj/portal
regards,
prasanthi o.

irj/portal will come as default with portal
if u want remove this irj/portal u can remove but u can't replace with sapportal
if u want to access certain iview or pages directly u can use quick links option
Quick links are shortcuts to iViews and pages. Each quick link is a string that you add to the default portal URL in order to navigate to a specific iView or page.
Quick links provide a meaningful name for iViews and pages to which users may want to navigate.
Procedure
1. Enable Short URLs
a. Go to System Administration-->Navigation --> Short URLs
b. Choose True (default) in the Use Short URLs drop list menu
c. Choose Save Configuration
2. Define Quick Links
a. Go to Content Administration --> Portal Content ->Folder --> iViews (i.e. Content Administration à Portal Content à My Folder à iViews à SAP News)
b. Double-click SAP News to edit the iView
c. Choose Navigation from the Property Category drop list menu.
d. Enter a name for the Quick Link. (i.e. News)
e. Choose Save.
f. Choose Close.
g. Add the object to a role if necessary.
h. Repeat steps a to go to create more Quick Links.
3. View a Quick Link or Short Navigation URL in the Portal.
a. Enter the link to your portal and append the Short Navigation URL or Quick Link. to the URL
(For example, http://myServer:50000/irj/portal/News)

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>
</cookies>
Can you advice what to do next?

How to create an External Alias for a Portal URL ?

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody tell me how to create an external alias for a portal link(URL). Actually, my problem is i want to send this Portal URL(link) thru' a SendMail step to the user so that when he clicks on it, it will take him to his UWL(Ofcourse after signing-in). As this URL length is > 80 char(101 char), i am not getting the full lenght URL in my Outlook mail. THough we are on ECC 6.0,Basis Rel 7.0, as per the OSS note 559234, we should have this length extended to 132 bytes. But, for some reason, its not happening. And,in the same OSS note, it was mentioned that we can use external aliases to achieve this(shortening the URL length).
Can anybody tell me how to achieve this, either thru' increasing the URL length or thru' ext. aliases.
Please reply asap.
Thanks in advance

Not an issue as of now. I'll open up again if needed

Using URL Alias in "main rule" for a new portal desktop.

Hi
I am having a scenario :
I am having two different business functionality. For accessing them separately i have to create to different portal desktops. Each one will have there own iviews and roles.
BUT
They can have similar user ids.
I.e. same user can access both the deskops based on option selected by him.
Supposed Implementation which i am thinking :
i will create a html page with 2 buttons :
1st button : Application 1
2nd button : Application 2
I will map these buttons/Links to following URL.
Application 1 : irj/poral/application1
Application 2 : irj/poral/application2
On clicking either of these buttons/Links user will get a login screen for SAPNETWEAVER PORTAL.
After login which desktop to be displayed will be decided using following MASTER RULE :
Now i will create a master rule with "URL ALIAS" in IF condition.
My Master rule will look like this :
IF URLAlias = irj/poral/application1 THEN desktop = Application1
IF URLAlias = irj/poral/application2 THEN desktop = Application2
Now I am having 2 questions in mind :
Is this possible ?
How to create URL Alias for a desktop ?? (Or do i need to create a URL alias for desktop !!)
I cant try it until and unless i am sure !!
Please comment on my scenario....
Or tell me if there are some other options.........!!

Saurabh,
yes this should work, you have to create the aliases application1 & application2 in the web.xml (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/de/48/1d5d0171364269e10000000a421937/frameset.htm)
I think, the initial page with the buttons shouldn't be located in the portal, because then the users would be already logged on (but you can place it on the java-stack at the plain http anyway)
but keep in mind, that you have to create an alias in web.xml & a master rule for each alias you want to have.

Different links in the detailed navigation, based on URL alias

What I'm trying to do :
Based on URL aliases /irj/portal/individual or /irj/portal/business
I will dynamically add an UME group to the already logged in user.
Filter :
If clicking on /irj/portal/individual I will store "group=individual" in the context, and add UME group individual, if clicking /irj/portal/business I will store "group=business" in the context, and add UME group business and remove individual, and then redirect to the same URL.
Configuration
Each UME group has a one-to-one mapping to a Portal role.
I will place an ACL on the PCD content, based on group, hiding/showing aggregated folders, hanging under the roles.
Wanted end-result
Different links in the detailed navigation, based on URL alias.
My question is how you would implement the filter part, mentioned above ?
Portal app or J2EE servlet filter or something else ?

Hi sunil,
Create a JSPDynPage component(C) having 2 hbj:link whose hrefs point to these 2 iViews(A and B). U can get the href of the iView by previewing it(for A and B). Create an iview from the par component (C) and add it to the DLN so that it shows the links to ur iViews(A and B). U can make the Show Tray property of this iView (C) to false.

File System URL alias

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement wherein the files processed by a sender and receiver file adapter need to be "downloadable" from a http url
So for example the File sender directory is C:\inbound and File Receiver directory is C:\outbound the XI http url will be like this http://hostname.com/50800/DownloadDirectory
the /DownloadDirectory acts like an alias..
and opening this page will show a clickable link for the contents of C:\inbound and C:\outbound file systems, and the processed messages being downloadable like any other web link
How can we do this on an XI 3.0 system on Windows and Unix?

Hi
thanks for the reply
but i am looking for non-scenario based solution
i want it to be done using some configuration in XI WAS settings, or something similar
the way we define the IS URL in sxmb_adm, im looking for that kind of solution whether configuration in abap level or os level?

Portal URL aliases

Hi, I want to configure portal alias. before doign this I want to clarify some of the below things
1. Whats the diff between Quick link and URL alias?
2. As per the below URL I can understand that if I do the change in web.xml file with the new alias http://<url>:<port>/irj/portal/mydetails(ex) it will take me to mydetails page directly(acts like quicklink)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/6e/8590f1d6d349c9adc34c6a8085189b/content.htm
3. I want to create URL alias for an iView(ex : ESS iView) is this possible? If posible how to do this?
Thanks

In that case you can configure desktops based on the role that the user has .
If role = abc , then desktop=desktop1 .
1) If user is not having above role then you can assign him a dummy role with entry point no and again set desktop based on dummy role and take him to a page saying that you do not have this role or privileges .
2) If you want all the users who do not have role abc to be displayed a specific role then all you need to do is set entry point of the dummy role as yes .
3) Another option would be placing all those users who do not have role abc under one group and configure desktop based on that .
This is how you can use desktops to achieve your requirement . Another option would be to code in TLN and check if the user is not having role abc then take him to a page showing custom message .

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.

Url alia to guest user

Hi experts,
A guestion:
I have made another anonymous user, then the standard guest, the other is called guest1. I also made another anonymous url alias for the guest1 user, this url is called http://yourportal/irj/portal/testurl.
What i want, guest needs to log in (automatically) to the url http://yourportal/irj/portal/anonymous, that works. But for the other url alias (http://yourportal/irj/portal/testurl) i want guest1 to automatically login. How can i achieve that? Because now, the standard anonymous guest user login.
Tnx!

Hi Erik,
Yeah I already got the anonymous users (custom) working. But the problem was, that I have 2 anonymous users, with 2 different url alias. So that guest1 goes to <a href="http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/ anonymous">http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/ anonymous</a> and guest2 goes 2 <a href="http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/alias">http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/alias</a>. But when I go to the last link, it logged in with the first guest1 user not the guest2 user.
But I have 'solved' it for now with [url]http://www.portal.com/irj/portal/alias?guest_user=guest2[/url]
tnx!

Issue with filet id /url alias

Hello All,
We are trying out the option of using filter id /url alias to segregate few roles related to a specific application.
We maintained the filter id in all the required roles/entry points, adjusted the web.xml file , created new desktop with the same filter id and set up a new desktop rule (like if url alias = xxxx , then desktop= < desktop pcd location>)
The setup works fine with our dev portal , when we use the url alias it only shows the specific roles with filter id same as the one in desktop.
But when we moved to quality , the thnigs are not as expected. Though we use the url alias, it bringing other roles also which dont have the filter id set in it.
web.xml file is good, the desk is created newly in qa and the rule is also created again, still the url alias is not working as it is supposed to .
We are on NW 7.0 , SP 18.
Please let me know if you ever faced this issue and found any pointers.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks
Arun

Hello,
This blog is indeed very good. The Singleton process will be in a waiting state forever the moment you initiate. The idea is that the Singleton process (the invoke) listens to any message that have the same correlation set. This is done using the singletonId. Check in your Singleton Accessor if this signetonId is the same as in the Singleton process for which the invoke is responding too.
If I were you I would start with a more simplified example. See:
http://java.net/projects/oraclesoasuite11g/downloads/directory/BPEL
Then download: bpel-305-InboundCorrelation
