Short URL with an alias

Hello!
I am facing a problem regarding a link with a short URL. We want to filter content using a new portal alias, the problem is that the links are "/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://8ec71a087447cddffd28f49468ded2cb" and when clicked it opens a new window using the standard desktop as if entering through the standard alias even if the user has accessed through the new alias.
The link is configured inside a page of Web Page Composer.
I have tried to remove the "/irj/portal" part of the link and then when it is clicked it does not display the header of the portal.
Could you please help me??
Lots of thanks!

Dear Eduardo,
Hope you are doing good. I think the issue is the same mentioned in [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EP/ChangePortalURL]
Check if the port mapping helps you:

Well,
it's up to you. The first part (Mcit-Project-ViewController-context-root) is the context root which you define in the view controller project. 'faces' is the name the servlet filter reacts on. You can't omit it but shorten it in web.xml. The rest is your directory structure. I'm not sure how to shorten this other as to move the jspx files back into the web root folder.
By the way an ADF faces app never uses the .jspx at the end of the url. If you specify '.jspx', you only render the page but don't start the work flow.

Navigation with Short URLs for T.Code Published in the portal()

Dear Expert
We have the following issue:
Requeriment:
We created a report ABAP in the R/3. For this Report, the ABAP Team created a t.code ZPORTAL. For this t.code we created a service ITS in the t.code SICF, the name of this service is ZPORTAL. In the portal we created an type of iView IAC for call this service and assign the Iview to a page. And the Page to a role customer.
In this moment the service work fine. The problem initial was that when the enduser press the button exit(Finalizar) the portal display the message Logged Off Successfully .
We write in the forum of sdn with the following link:

Any Security Problems with Navigation with Short URLs?

Hi ,
I want to use Navigation with Short URLs for my users to access the portal. But if the users give that Short URLs to other non-users , will the URL open?
I will give the role for the users only. Non-users will not have particular role.
Are these Navigation with Short URLs are safe to use?
Advise me.

Hi,
The iview have "EveryOne Role" and "Super Admin Role".
The portal will not allow any "anonymous" users, because it needs atleast "EveryOne Role" for the access.
Will this create any problem.
I think the "EveryOne Role" is there for the user, if the iview1 assigned for role1 but still in the permissions of iview1 have the "Everyonerole" , it is allowing user to access this right?
Then I need to remove the EveryOne Role from the permissions.

DNS Name to portal (short) URL

Hi folks,
we are going to integrate some webapplications via url-iview in our portal (2004s). The applications have there own dns-name within our domain-dns-server.
After the integration, my plan is that the dns will be resolved into a portal (short)URL. In IIS i can take the hostheader for this, but how is it possible in the portal?
best regards
Frank

Hi,
ok I finally got it
You will encounter the following problem:
If you configure your alias ABC to resolve to the IP Address of your portal there is no application associated with it (/xxx) so you will always call the index.html (J2EE Startpage of your J2EE)
What you can do here is modify the index.html to redirect to a specific destination using meta http-equiv="refresh"
e.g.
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/irj/portal/
Since it is just HTML you cannot disinguish and you will always be redirected to this destination when accessing the startpage or just http://portalhost
Now you have several ways to solve this:
1. I think that you can define Virtual Hosts in the HTTP Provider Service (Visual Admin / HTTP Provider Service) and Application Aliases (I've never done that but it should work). This means that you define a virtual host (e.g ABC) and map it to any application e.g /myAPP1 on your J2EE
see the following doc:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/e5/ac55423948b330e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
2. You can change the Directory Index of your Engine (HTTP Provider / Properties TAB / Infer Names Property) and add something like index.jsp to the list
Default Value is:
{index.html,index.htm,default.html,default.htm}
Then you rename your index.html to something like startpage.html and put the index.jsp in the directory instead. In your JSP you will then be able to parse the Request (e.g. parse the Request URL, Headers etc. and send an appropriate redirect that fits your needs.) In all other cases you just send a redirect to startpage.html so you will still be able to see the Startpage if necessary
You have to put this jsp in the following path:
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<InstanceNo>/j2ee/cluster/serverN/apps/sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root
Note that if you are just typing
http://ABC and ABC will be resolved to your portal IP you will have to bind your portal to port 80 in order to make this work (I would not do that because you will get into trouble when upgrading or patching) or you will have to provide the port e.g. http://ABC:50000
If you do not want to provide the port than you will have to put a Proxy (e.g. IIS on the portal host that listens on port 80 and does whatever you like (e.g. parses HTTP Header and sends redirect or whatever)
Hope this helps
Cheers

Short URL to Application?

Hello,
is there any possibilty to get the URL to the Java WD Application shorter?
Now it is: http://serverxyz:50400/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/temp~us_myapp/MyApp
I want to shorten the url (or to create a link, an alias or something like that) so that i can reach my application on:
http://serverxyz:50400/MyApp
for example.
Is there any chance to do this?
Kind Regards,
Thomas

Hi,
do you only want to have this for development or for a productive system.
If I don't want to type in this long URL I just set the Startpage of the J2EE Engine
to my application. But I think you should only do that on a local development Server:
ut you can do that in the Visual Admin "Server->Services->HTTP Provider" and then Startpage.
You also could create a small JSP with a shorter URL that redirects to your WD App.
I right now don't know if there is any easy or better way to change the URL of your WD App.
Best Regards,
Dennis

How can I redirect a URL with aliases or redirect?

Hi all,
I have this partially working on my servers, but am not 100% sure I am doing this corerectly.
Basically I have a Web site domain, let's call it product.com
In server admin I have a site set up called www.product.com under port 80 and another under port 443 for my SSL pages.
Here is my problem: If a customer types "product.com" in their favorite Web browser address bar, I would very much like the server to automatically redirect them (if that's the correct term) to "www.product.com" Currently they would end up on http://product.com/index.html when they key in the URL without the "www" I am concerned this is hurting my SEO and Google analytics as well as being an issue internally for PHP pages that are coded to the "www" addresses.
I also have a sign-in page for my clients at the address: http://www.product.com/lib/app/auth/authenticate.php. When a client types "signin.product.com" I want them to go to that long URL for the sign-in page. I have gotten this to work by setting up a new Site in Server Admin > Web > Sites named "signin.product.com" which then has a single entry on the redirect tab with the URL of the signin page above. Not sure if that could have been done on the core Web site (www.product.com) or if that was the way I should do it under Server Admin or if there is an easier way to do it.
Primarily I want to be able to handle redirecting any type of subdomain "xxx.product.com" to another address. The primary one I want to deal with now is the "product.com" redirecting to "www.product.com"..... Should I just set up another Web site in Server Admin with a redirect like I did for "signin.product.com"?
Any advice on doing proper redirection appreciated.
-- Jon

There are so many ways you could do this. You need to pick what's right for you.
Some of the options are available through the GUI. Many more are available once you get under the hood and drive Apache directly. Your skill and comfort level will undoubtedly influence which path you take.
At the first level, Apache groups sites together by the hostname used to access the site.
If you want 'www.product.com' to go to the same place as product.com you could create one site with an alias, so that Apache uses the same 'site' configuration for both hostnames.
If you want the two hostnames to do different things then you could create two sites - in this case 'www.product.com' has the full, normal site and 'product.com' has a redirect to the equivalent page on 'www.product.com'.
Within www.product.com you can also setup selective redirects to the HTTPS site. This will ensure that things like the login form are accessed securely. In this way your HTTPS site is another 'site' in Apache with the SSL configuration.
One caveat in your post is the use of 'signin.company.com'. You don't describe your network, but if you have only 1 public IP address then this is going to be an issue since you cannot easily run multiple SSL sites on a single IP address - you'll need a different public IP address for each SSL site. This is because the SSL negotiation occurs before Apache knows what site the request is for, and therefore it doesn't know which SSL certificate to use for the connection.
So, in general, you'll create one site for each variation in your web setup - one for 'www.product.com/port 80', one for 'www.product.com/port 443', one for 'product.com/80' (which redirects to 'www.product.com'), and so on.

Can't use short URL

I tried the following fix last week after I kept getting publishing error messages and at first it seemed to work, but even after I deleted it in iWeb, the test page was coming up as the first page. I found it in a folder on my iDisk and deleted the test page there. My problem now is that my Website is only accessible from the longer URL. If I use http://web.mac.com/rksmelser all that comes up is a message that the page cannot be displayed. It is accessible from http://web.mac.com/rksmelser/iWeb/randykaty That wouldn't be such a huge problem, but we are now in America on a reporting trip and we have had brochures printed with the shorter link. Any ideas? I am afraid of messing the situation up more. I am still having problems with uploading changes, but right now I would be satisfied with being able to use the shorter URL.
This is what I followed to fix my problem:
Thanks for any help!
Hi geebee - bit long winded but this is the full fix
that I wrote up for someone else - it worked for them
so good luck.
1. To create a new login, open system preference
folder and open accounts. Unlock by clicking on the
padlock icon. Now click on the plus icon which will
allow you to create a new login name and password.
Tick allow user to administer computer. Lock the
padlock again and close window.
2. Go to apple logo top left of screen and logoff
your username - you will be prompted shortly with
choice of logins and choose the new one - you get a
fresh screen which looks like when you first switched
on the mac. You can test iweb here by publishing any
old template to see if it works. It should do.
Assuming all is ok, this next is how to publish your
existing site.
3. Go back to your normal login. Find the domain file
and copy it to dvd - domain file can be found as
follows: open finder > click on house icon (yourname)
click on library >click on application support
click on iweb and here you will find domain file -
copy it.
4. Log out and log on to new login again - find
domain file in this system and delete it then in its
place put your copy domain file from the dvd. When
you open iweb in this system you should see your web
files and hopefully you should now be able to publish
them. This is where I succeeded.
5. If successful I have since discovered that you can
do the reverse - ie. delete the domain file from your
main login - copy domain file from your new login and
put it back in the original system. I found this
shook off whatever the problem was. I have also
discovered since that I seem to have lost some
functionality in that the slide shows don't seem to
work now so I guess I might have to rebuild some of
the pages - but the important thing is it will now
publish.
Hope you can follow this and hope you have the
success I had. Let me know if there is anything else
I can help with, and let me know if it works.

I'm sure I had used "Publish All" when this problem started last week, but I just tried it again and it seems to be working now! Yesterday when I re-published I just clicked on the link that comes up in the pop-up box and it wasn't working, but today it worked!
Thanks for helping me not give up.

Keeping the right site tied to my short url on MobileMe

I have maintained multiple websites in multiple domain files, all published to MobileMe since iWeb first came out. I have one site which serves as an index page to all the sites I maintain. This index site is designed to be tied to my short url at MobileMe (http://web.me.com/username). That way from my short url I (or others) can access all the sites.
Prior to iWeb 09, I knew how to make sure that site remained tied to my short user name. Namely, I only published website changes using "Publish to MobileMe" and never "Publish All to MobileMe."
I recently bought a MacBook Pro, with iWeb 09 installed, and have shifted to using it to maintain my websites. But now, any time I update a website (using "Publish Changes"), that website "takes over" the short url.
Is there a solution to this? I did try searching the forums before posting, but my search turned up so many "false matches" I'm afraid I gave up slogging through them all.
kabing

With iWeb 09 the last published site is the one that the will be the default site when entering the minimal http://web.me.com/username URL. You can fix that using the method Wyodor posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10748607&#10748607 .
Or you can purchase a domain name for that entry site and use simple domain name forwarding with or without masking. The domain name would be pointed to the URL http://web.me.com/username/EntrySiteName/. Then it won't matter which site is the last published site.
My tutorial site, http://toadstutorials.info, is setup with the simple URL forwarding with masking. Then down side to masking is that visitors can only bookmark the first/entry page of the site.

Hi Sumanth,
Short URL is automatically created by portal.
So you cant make the short URL in the form of text message.Refer the following link

Error opening file/URL reference by alias and Administrative limit exceeded

Hello All,
Problem:
SMTP Error: 4.5.0 error opening file/URL reference by alias
and
Search failed with: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (11); Administrative limit exceeded
Here is my configuration:
Windows 2000 server (without Active Directory)

Iplanet Messaging Server 5.2
Netscape Directory Server 4.16
IPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Hotfix 1.09 (built Jan 7 2003)
We have a group which we use to flash messages to all the users of the mail server. Till last week it was working fine but now I am not able to send messages to this group <group-name>.
There are around 800 (Eight Hundred) E-mail id the messaging server and the flashed message is supposed to go to all 800 + users.
Note: I have another group of 300 users and I am able to send an E-mail to this group of 300 users.
I am using Dynamic Group for Members list.
The error message I get while trying to send message to this group is
SMTP Error: 4.5.0 error opening file/URL reference by alias.
The corresponding error in mail.log file is
30-Jan-2004 10:55:21.40 41c.7e4.1098 tcp_intranet J 0 <group-name>@domain rfc822; <group-name>@domain domain (localhost [127.0.0.1]) 452 4.5.0 error opening file/URL referenced by alias: <group-name>@domain
Now when I construct and Test the LDAP URL from Console, the error I get is:
Search failed with: netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (11); Administrative limit exceeded
I have increased the various limits but I still get the same error when I send mail to that group or do a LDAP Test:
The deafult and new limits are:
Sizelimit: Default 2000 New 10000
Timelimit Default 3600 New 3600

The corresponding error entry in access log of slapd is:

My search for Administrative limit problem and error opening file/URL error in Sun forum and other groups did get some hits but that did not solve my problem.
I will appreciate any suggestion/comments.
Thanks and Regards,
Maneesh Bisht

Thanks Jay.
My problem has been fixed.
Your suggestion was to increase the lookthrough limit. As you would have noticed in my posting that I had increased this limit to 6000 but that did not solve my problem. Today I increased this limit to 10000. And after that I did not get "administrative limit exceeded" error. Also I do not get "error opening file/URL reference by alias" error while sending E-mail to a particular group of 800+ ids.

"short" urls and multiple domain files

"If you have separate sites with separate Domain files and published separately to .Mac, they will be listed on your iDisk in alphabetical order and your short .Mac url will point to the one at the top of the list on the iDisk."
I'm thinking about splitting my domain file, as my sites are growing large and it is time consuming for iWeb to recreate all the pages when I've only changed one site. I'd like to keep a particular "site" (consisting of one page with links to my other "real" sites) at the top of the list so it is always what appears when folks go to my short url. Are than any non-alphanumeric characters that I can use at the begin that won't cause problems for browsers?
Does this mean that if my preferred "top site" is in domain file A and I publish domain file B after I've published domain A, the "top site" will still be the site at the short url?
Also, can somebody please remind me again how to use a link in the forums here but have text other than the full url show up? I think I've done it before, but I've forgotten.

I spoke too soon on this and a correction is needed. When you publish to .Mac using individual Domain files, your short url will point to the most recently published index.html file, which will then take you to your most recently published site. I tested this just prior to that last statement in that post and my browser cache tripped me up here.

I don't think that's necessary; you can keep a copy of the index.html file which points to your preferred site and place it back on your iDisk after publishing any site to force your short url to point to the site of your choice.
Does this mean that if my preferred "top site" is in
domain file A and I publish domain file B
after I've published domain A, the "top site"
will still be the site at the short url?
Again, the short url will point to the most recently published index.html file in .Mac. Sorry for the confusion.

Short URL in the browser address bar

Hi we are using Robo Help product. we launched it on Apache Tomcat server.
When we publish a project in an area and try to view that, the URL in the address bar is displayed very long with % characters and other junk.
can anyone please let me know how to customize the URL? a user friendly URL in place of the long URL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Colum,
can you please explain these 2 points from your posts. I am very new to Robohelp so I am not able to understand some of these terms
1. When the help is called (e.g. through an API call) the end user sees a much shorter URL along the lines of what Mayank has provided.
2. If you are wanting to shorten the actual URL that is returned by your browser, why would you want to? I wouldn't even go there as it will depend on the browser being used.
I am attaching the screenshot which explains you clearly about my requirement in a sequence.
1 st screenshot shows you the login screen
2nd screenshot shows the projects window where in if we click on that displays the projects
3rd screenshot shows the project 'CCC' and when we click on View Project opens 4th screenshot
If you see the URL in screenshot it contains lot of % characters and other junk. I want a user friendly URL in place of that. can you please help me? I have to put this in place Friday, anyhelp on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for looking into this.

Navigation using Short URLs

Hi,
I need to navigate from one page to another using short urls. I have a page P1 with iView V1 in it. I have another page P2. The hierarchy is as folllows:
Role R1
..|__ page P1
........ |__ iView V1
..|__ page P2
By clicking on a link in iView V1, i need to navigate to page P2 using short urls.
I am passing the long url of page P2 (ROLES://portal_content/.../roleR1/pageP2...) as a iView property to V1.
Can someone provide the code as to how to retrieve the short url(hashed valued) from the long url and how to navigate to page P2.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Melwyn.

Hi Romano,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried the code snippet you gave me.
However the method getNavigationNodeHashedName() is not appearing in the list of methods.
I am only able to see the methods getInitialNodes(), getFirstNode(), getNode(), getNodes() and getNodeByQuickLink().
Following is my import statement.
import com.sapportals.portal.navigation.INavigationService;
The jars that i am using are com.sap.portal.navigation.api_service_api.jar and com.sap.portal.navigation.service_api.jar.
