Reverse Proxy and SAP NetWeaver 2004S

Question

Dear Gurus,
I'd like to post a simple question.
I know that we can put a Reverse Proxy in front of SAP WebAS.
It can be Apache, SAP Web Dispatcher, etc.
I know we can proxypass like this:
http://reverse-proxy.abc.com/irj  -->  http://portal.abc.com/irj
However, is there a way so that we can proxypass like this (both AS-ABAP and AS-JAVA):
http://reverse-proxy.abc.com/xyz/irj  -->  http://portal.abc.com/irj
So far I've not succeeded in doing so, because the response I've got from SAP is always in the form of /irj/..... and not /xyz/irj/....
Is there any configuration in SAP to insert /xyz in front of /irj?
Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi Martin,
we do not have the answer yet, either.
I've read somewhere else, that it may be possible to do the proxy mapping, but we still can't change the root URI.
I believe this is what SAP calls reverse-proxy filter.
Example:
http://www.abc.com/irj/entry  -->  http://portal.abc.com:50000/irj/portal
So it's not really what we need.
I hope a guru from SAP will read this post and give an answer to us.
At the moment, we decide to dedicate another hostname for our portal.
regards,
Denny
