SAP Web Dispatcher Configuration (SSL, certificates)

Question

Hi all,
We're trying to configure the SAP Web Dispatcher for the use of SSL (terminated) and client authentication using x.509 certificates. All works (almost)fine. However, there's some strange behavior that I can not explain.
The following access point have been specified in the profile:
Description of the Access Points
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTPS, PORT=443, TIMEOUT=15
icm/server_port_2 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=83, TIMEOUT=15
icm/HTTPS/verify_client = 2
Basicly we only need users to access the web dispatcher using SSL. However, when I remove the line: icm/server_port_2 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=83, TIMEOUT=15
The Web Dispatcher returns an error upon accessing it using HTTPS:
Dispatching Error
Error: -26
Version: 6040
Component: HTTP_ROUTE
Date/Time: Tue Mar 14 07:19:38 2006 
Module: http_route.c
Line: 2383
Server: sapvm1_DVS_26
Detail: no valid destination server available for '!ALL' rc=13
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi KS,
Maybe you were right afterall I found a nice How to on the servce.sap.com (https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000073632&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202) and it seems you do have to add the HTTP server_port parameter in case SSL is being terminated (no re-encryption).
icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTPS, PORT=443, TIMEOUT=15
icm/server_port_1 = PROT=HTTP, PORT=0, TIMEOUT=15
However, the trick is to set the port to zero (0), that way you can still only access the Web Dispatcher via HTTPS.
All is working now.
