Is the system being used internally only or do you plan to expose it to the Internet? Based on my past experience I would focus on architecture design, security including vulnerability scanning, performance, interoperability (especially different browsers and browser versions) and usability (neither the BSP nor the WDA UI is that user friendly). Of course if the system is used only internally, the involved effort is smaller.

Is possible to change The URL of a SAP Portal ?

I have a large URL for a SAP Portal.
http://sikpbj.grup-sig.corp:52100/irj/portal
The end-user wants a short URL.    http://BI_Estrategico
I don´t have experience with Portals
Somebody could help me, pls,

Hi,
By default, URLs in the portal are shortened, with the navigation target converted (hashed) into a short GUID.
     http://myServer:54000/irj/portal
NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/every_user/general/eu_role/com.sap.portal.portal_personalization/com.sap.portal.persoUserMapping.
     A short version of the URL might be the following, with the navigation target hashed and shortened:
http://myServer:54000/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://b3d6d9ebac16a46574d62757803b05d4
     Go to SystemAdministration->Navigation->ShortUrls(it is in detailed navigation area)->from here you can select Short URLs for custom roles.
     Give the Shorturl as NavigationTarget.
Refer this blog
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2452">Short URL</a>
You can also use Quick links for iView and pages

SAP Portal Custom Themes to change ESS/MSS UI Look and feel , possible ?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the look and feel of the UI controls of the ESS/MSS applications have to be different - Jazzy
I know XSS homepage framework is for the customisation of Areas, Sub Areas. What I am more interested is only the look and feel UI of ESS/MSS applications.
If I change the standard theme of portal using Theme Editor and create a new custom theme with different back ground colors, fonts, sizes for all the UI controls,.Will the customised Theme apply on the standard ESS / MSS screens ? Also my doubt is we are using EHP3 and I am not sure how many are Webdynpro java based or webdynpro Abap based.
Will the theme apply to both WDA and WDJ application UI controls?
Any inputs in this regard will be of great help. thanks in advance.

Issues accessing keystore of SAP Portal

we need to configure an SSO from SAP portal and a third party website by passing encrypted userid as url parameters.
To configure the SSO I have received the public key of the third party and able to access it from server location. Now I have to access priavte key of the SAP Portal certificate and sign the UserId and pass it as url parameter. I have gone through many blogs and written code as below which is giving Invalid Keystore Format error.
My question is
1. What should be passed to FileInputStream?
As of now we are passing the .cer file which is stored as part of project.
Below code is throwing error at ks.load() method.
String fielPath1 = request.getPublicResourcePath()+"/SAPLogonTicketKeypair-cert1.cer";
FileInputStream ksfis = new FileInputStream(fielPath1);
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
ks.load(null, sPass.toCharArray());
BufferedInputStream ksbufin = new BufferedInputStream(ksfis);
ks.load(ksbufin, sPass.toCharArray());
PrivateKey priv = (PrivateKey) ks.getKey(alias, kPass.toCharArray());
Error is:
Invalid keystore formatsun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore.engineLoad(JavaKeyStore.java:633)sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore$JKS.engineLoad(JavaKeyStore.java:38)java.security.KeyStore.load(KeyStore.java:1185)am_sso_apc.doContent(am_sso_apc.java:132)com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.AbstractPortalComponent.serviceDeprecated(AbstractPortalComponent.java:213)
Please let me know how to pass the filepath to extract the priavte key .

Satish

Sorry to say: but that's a bad advise.
The usertype impacts not only the ability / requirement to change passwords (see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=622464">SAP Note 622464</a>).
A better advise might be <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=869218">SAP Note 869218</a>: if users need to have the option to logon to the ABAP backend systems by using UID/PWD but do not want to be prompted to change those backend passwords when accessing the backend systems through the Portal, then that note can provide some solution.
Of course: not using UID/PWD but some (other) sort of SSO would be the better approach. However, somethimes that is not possible (e.g. when it would be required to purchase an SNC partner product, according to <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=66687">SAP Note 66687</a>).

Integration of SAP Portal with Shibboleth based CUA?

We are running SAP Portal NetWeaver EhP1 on LINUX RH-EL 5 with ORACLE 10.2.0.4. We are interested in integrating authentication to the SAP Portal with our web single sign-on system, which is based on Internet2's Shibboleth software. We would like to use our Shibboleth CUA to authenticate users and give them access to our SAP Enterprise Portal as well as to the SAP ABAP systems.
Has anyone done something similar and if so, what were the results or limitations encountered?
What is the underlying web server / product on which the Portal is based? Specifically, is it Apache httpd? If so, which version?
Can it support the use of third party Apache modules, e.g. the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) Apache module for authentication?
If not, is it possible to run the portal fronted by Apache httpd? (Note that the Shibboleth SP software requires the use of Apache httpd on Linux servers.)
Can the portal be configured to honor the REMOTE_USER setting passed by the web server/container for authentication, instead of requiring a username/password to be entered?
If the portal cannot support the use of the Shibboleth Service Provider software for authentication, what are the other possible configuration options for authentication (besides username/password)?
What support, if any, is there for SAML-based authentication?
Will the portal interoperate with a Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP)? Can you point us at documentation for this?
Thank-you,
Deb Nugent

Hi,
interesting questions. Portal is running on top of Netweaver platform (Java stack). Hence no Apache web server. I doubt that it supports any Apache modules. You can use Apache as reversed proxy in front of SAP portal. Check note 480520 with attached configuration guide. I don't know answer for your question regarding REMOTE_USER setting.
SAP portal supports all standard [authentication methods|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8a/cb136e68592f478266d19bb2b89766/frameset.htm] supported by Netweaver. Probably the only possible way is to use [SAML|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/94/695b3ebd564644e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]. [Here|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/tivoli/library/t-cssosap/index.html] is a how-to guide how to set up SSO based on SAML between Tivoli and Netweaver applicaiton server.
Also search on net. I found links to interesting presentations (e.g. [this one|http://www.switch.ch/aai/support/presentations/ws-sap-2010/ETHZ_AAI_SAP_SAML_Artifact.pdf]).

Java App from SAP Portal - SSO2Ticket call - java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError

Hi
I am facing a problem in trying to call a java application from SAP portal.
*Cause:*
This java application is built on Unix (AIX) server. Previously it was running fine. Then there is a Tech Upgrade on SAP side in our company. After that I have been told to test whether the Java Application is getting called correctly or not.
Error:
I am getting the below error
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com/mysap/sso/SSO2Ticket
Also when I am checking the log entry all I am able to see, there is error in SSO2Ticket.verify() method and the error is
Error during initialization of SSO2TICKET;       com/mysap/sso/SSO2Ticket.init(Ljava/lang/String;);
Effort:
I checked all possible aspects what ever came to my mind and found in this forum so far.
1. com/mysap/sso this package is there.
2. SSO2TICKET class defined in that package
3. The JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH are defined correctly ( I guess so)
4. Even the "libsapsecu.o" file is present
I am not sure why still this error is coming. Am I missing something here? Or what ever I have mentioned above 1-4 I am not getting them correctly.
I am new to this kind of native call technology. Please help me on this.
My concerns are :
1. Is the package com/mysap/sso should be in a specific location, which I am missing.
2. Do I need to revisit my CLASSPATH set up for JAVA?
3. Is any change required to the libsapsecu.o file?
4. Most of all what on earth can I do to overcome this?
5. After Tech upgrade do they need to do some sort of thing to make the Java native call available, which they might have missed? Does any one aware of any such thing?
Please let me know the answer asap.
Thanks
Santanu
Code:
I am also attaching the code snippet from JAVA
public class SSO2Ticket {
static {
          if (System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Win")) {
               SECLIBRARY = "sapsecu.dll";
          } else {
               SECLIBRARY = "libsapsecu.o";
          try {
               logger.debug("java.library.path - "+System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
               System.loadLibrary(SSO2TICKETLIBRARY);
                logger.debug("SAPSSOEXT loaded.");
          } catch (Throwable e) {
               System.out.println("Error during initialization of SSO2TICKET:\n"+ e.getMessage());
               logger.error("Error during initialization of SSO2TICKET:\n"+ e.getMessage());

          //System.out.println("Ticket: "+ticket);
          //System.out.println("PSE: "+pathToPSE);
            logger.debug("Ticket: "+ticket);
            logger.debug("PSE: "+pathToPSE);
          String[] ticketContent = null;
          logger.debug("The value for initialized is -

               try {
                    init(SECLIBRARY);

Portal is blank after modifying com.sap.portal.layouts.framework

Hi Experts,
Using SAP EP 7.0 SPS 18 and NWDS 7.0.18
I downloaded the par file com.sap.portal.layouts.framework because I wanted to increase the width of the detailed navigation panel. I imported it into NWDS and in the WAandNavPanel.jsp I modified this line
<hbj:page title="Portal Page">
     <hbj:gridLayout   id="GridLayout1" width="100%" cellSpacing="2">
     <hbj:gridLayoutCell rowIndex="1" columnIndex="1" width="20%" verticalAlignment="top">
          <lyt:container id="navPanelContainer" />
     </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
     <hbj:gridLayoutCell rowIndex="1" columnIndex="2" width="80%" verticalAlignment="top">
          <lyt:container id="workAreaContainer" />
     </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
     </hbj:gridLayout>
</hbj:page>
To this:
<hbj:page title="Portal Page">
     <hbj:gridLayout   id="GridLayout1" width="100%" cellSpacing="2">
     <hbj:gridLayoutCell rowIndex="1" columnIndex="1" width="25%" verticalAlignment="top">
          <lyt:container id="navPanelContainer" />
     </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
     <hbj:gridLayoutCell rowIndex="1" columnIndex="2" width="75%" verticalAlignment="top">
          <lyt:container id="workAreaContainer" />
     </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
     </hbj:gridLayout>
</hbj:page>
I then selected 'Quick PAR Upload' from NWDS and selected 'Include the source code of the portal application' and 'Deploy PAR' checkboxes and then deployed.
Now when I login to the portal, its just a blank screen. What did I do wrong, and how can I fix this please?
Regards,
Marshall.

Hi Marshall,
Just a couple of notes for you:
Changing the SAP namespace to your own/client namespace is a good idea, though you'll need to copy all referenced Portal objects if possible. In addition, every support pack or patch will require you to recreate this PAR file using the original SAP source as the underlying code may have changed.
All that said, the easiest way to check out a change is to make a change directly to the PAR file and upload. I do this when working with a local Portal install (not the development one).
Another point, make sure when you upload it via System Admin/Support/Runtime Tools/Administration Console (or something like that); that you get a valid version number when you upload. If you don't, that indicates something is wrong with the PAR file.
Maybe a test for you would be to take the existing PAR file, and upload it again without modification to see if there's a problem; then do it again, but this time just adding some space or something to the file (no code changes). Keep baby stepping till you work out what code is making the screen go blank for you.
Regards,
Matt
ps. I hope you've solved this by now...Otherwise ask your friendly SAP expert (who may be handy) how to do it. Alternatively, publish exactly the change you're making and we can review it.

Integration of Fiori Launch Pad in SAP Portal

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to integrate the Fiori Launch Pad into the SAP Portal? Any Ideas, Links to Documentation,...?
Thank you!
BR, René.

Hello ,
I am trying to integrate Fiori Launchpad using the iview integration approach as you mentioned in this blog (http://scn.sap.com/community/enterprise-portal/blog/2014/07/17/sap-fiori-launchpad-on-portal-sample-content-for-administrators) .
My Portal version is SAP Netweaver Portal 7.31 SP12 and the requirement I for normal Desktop category and no Mobile requirement.
My steps:
1)Created URL Alias for Fiori Framework Desktop
2)Done Rule Collection and Device Group Manager Updates.
3) I copied the "Fiori Launchpad Categories" iView template to my personal folder.
4) For the Category01 ID - provided the Fiori Launchpad URL , Order = 1 and Title
5) Assigned this iView to Workset and Role with as Entry point.
6) I did not import - OOB_Admin.epa as I already had the iView "Fiori Launchpad Categories"
7) I have also set the property in iView , No of Levels in Top level Navigation = 2
8) In the point # 4 , it is mentioned about setting the 6 properties , Where do I find these properties to set ? I do not see these properties in the "Fiori Launchpad Categories" iview.
9) Also , I cannot preview the iView ( for FFP) as I assume this may not display in AFP is Default Framework Page for 7.31 . With all the above steps , I just see a small SAP Logo at the Right hand side and nothing else , no Top level Navigation. And at the bottom Left I see the Text " Remove Tile".
Please advise what other extra step I need to configure.
Many Thanks, Richa

Why did the developers @ Mozilla drop SAP portal Compatibility?

A company I used to work for (and the company I work for) both use SAP over the internets, one for international work at the office, and one for working from home. According to both, Firefox 3.8 is the last known compatible version - and when contacted, the SAP developers said that there is nothing they can do.
I realize that I can use compatibility modes for the place I work for now, but there isn't time (it's a bother and a pain) at my old workplace to fuss with it. So, my question is, what's the big deal? I would like the long-winded, official version, if it is possible...

I assume the Mozilla developers don't use and have no knowledge of the details of the SAP portal. If they removed or changed something needed by the portal, they probably had no idea it would affect SAP's portal. So it is a mistake to consider it an intentional decision.
To find a solution, we need input from SAP or someone with intimate understanding of SAP's portal. If the developers can say "it no longer works because Mozilla removed features x and y" then someone can research why features x and y were removed and see whether there is a workaround. Otherwise, there's no way to answer your question.

SAP Portal - what´s possible ?
