Wrong URL when running Web queries

Question

Hello all,
I'm running a query preview (Or any query which is added to my Favorites SAP menu) and I'm getting this error:
Logon failed
What has happened?
Call of URL http://sap-bw.nw04.com:8000/sap/bw/BEx terminated due to error in logon data.
Note
Logon performed in system BWD .
Logon performed for client 000, user tomer , and language EN.
What can I do?
Check that you have entered the client, user, and password correctly.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.
Error Code: ICF-LE-http-c:000-l:E-T:1-C:6-U:5-P:5-L:3
HTTP 401 - Unauthorized
Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team
If I would add to the URL &SAP-client=800 (which is the right client, the query would work). How do I change the default client for those URL from the BW side?
Thanks,
Tomer.

hi Tomer,
try transaction SICF, expand default host,
and right click 'sap', 'display service',
in next screen click tab 'error pages'
and 'edit' (pencil icon, beside V),
you will see ... 
/sap/public/bsp/sap/system/login.htm?sap-url=<%=PATHTRANS%>&BspLanguage=EN&BspLanguageVisible=X&BspChangePasswordVisible=X
&BspClient=000&BspClientVisible=X&BSPAccessibilityVisible=X
<b>change
&BspClient=yourclient</b>
oss note 498936-Logon/password change in Web with BW 3.0B or higher
Symptom
In the standard system, you log on to BW 3.0B in the Web using HTTP authentication, which does not allow you to enter the language or change your password.
Other terms
BW, Business Explorer, 30A, 30B
Reason and Prerequisites
You have installed BW 3.0A or higher and are using BW Web Analysis and Reporting.
Refer also to Note 517860.
Solution
SAP BW 3.5 and higher (SAP Web Application Server 6.40, Support Package Stack 12 or higher)
With SAP BW 3.5 and higher based on SAP Web Application Server 6.40 Support Package Stack 12 or higher, there is an additional option for executing a system logon.
You will find detailed documentation at http://help.sap.com -> Documentation -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver '04 -> English -> SAP NetWeaver -> Application Plattform -> ABAP-Technology -> UI-Technology -> Web-UI-Technology -> Business Server Pages -> User Concepts -> System Logon.
SAP BW 3.x and SAP BW 3.5 (SAP Web Application Server 6.20 and 6.40 prior to Support Package Stack 12)
The following solution describes the conversion in SAP BW 3.x and SAP BW 3.5 based on SAP Web Application Server 6.20 and 6.40 prior to Support Package Stack 12.
Documentation
For up-to-date documentation on the subject of logging on to the SAP Web Application Server, see the attachment to note 517860. The attachment is found under Note Administration, under the Attachments tab (which is beside Related notes and Attributes).
For more information, go to http://help.sap.com -> SAP Web Application Server -> SAP Web Application Server 6.20 -> mySAP Technology Components -> SAP Web Application Server -> Web Applications -> Web Application Server -> Web Applications and Business Server Pages -> User Concepts -> Logging onto BSP Applications.
You can find further information on the subject of security at http://service.sap.com/security.
Activation
You activate SAP logon via service maintenance for the Web Application Server (Transaction SICF). First select the default_host/sap/bw/bex entry and double-click to display and change it.
On the Error Pages tab, change the setting from "Explicit reply page" to "Redirect to URL". You must make an entry in the following format as a redirect.
/sap/public/bsp/sap/system/login.htm?sap-url=<%=PATHTRANS%>
The URL (including the text between the parameters at the end) cannot contain any blank characters.
The URL should be a relative URL, without a host name or a port. This is the only way you can use load balancing across several servers (if this  is set up, as described in Note 493475).
Activate the "Form field (Base64)" option.
Activate the "Standard" option on the register service data under Safety Requirements.
The possible additional parameters are explained below.
The setting is made on the Error Pages tab because the Web Browser should usually get a HTTP 401 error first (unauthorized) and should then execute HTTP authentication because of this error. If "Redirect to URL" is maintained, a HTTP 401 error is not sent to the browser but, in the above case, a BSP application is called, which performs a logon.
Deactivation
You can deactivate the SAP logon (for example, with BW 3.0B) by selecting the "Explicit reply page" option on the Error tab.
Calling BW Web Applications with Domains
If you install this logon option, note that the logon application requires you to enter the domain in the URL because the BSP runtime needs it for cookie management.
Therefore, the URL you call must have the following form:
http://<server>.<domain>.<extension>:<port>/sap/bw/bex
for example:
http://ls0028.sap-ag.de:1080/sap/bw/bex
For more information, see Note 434918.
Explanation of the redirect parameters
bspchangepasswordvisible
With =X, a switch for the password change is displayed.
bsplanguagevisible
With =X, a text field for entering the language is displayed.
bspclient
This parameter specifies the client. If 'auto' is specified, 'sy-clnt' is generated. If nothing is entered or bspclient is omitted, an InputField appears with sy-clnt as the default value.
bsplanguage
This parameter specifies the logon language. If 'auto' is specified, 'sy-langu' is generated. If nothing is entered or bsplanguage is omitted, an InputField appears with sy-langu as the default value.
bsptermsofuse
This parameter displays the 'terms of use' switch, if bsptermsofuse is specified. The value of bsptermsofuse then corresponds to the URL that should display the 'terms of use' (the URL must be programmed by the application).
bspforgotpass
This parameter displays the 'Forget password?' switch if bspforgotpass is specified. The value of bspforgotpass then corresponds to the URL which describes the follow-up actions (what must the user do now) (the URL must be programmed by the application).
bspsysidvisible
This parameter specifies the system ID. If nothing is entered or if bspsysidvisible is omitted, no SystemId is displayed. If bspsysidvisible is not initial, this is displayed.
bspdontshowhttpswarning
You can use the bspdontshowhttpswarning=X parameter to suppress the warning that HTTPS is not set up. However, for safety reasons, we recommend that you install HTTPS to transfer passwords securely (see below).
Example with all parameters
/sap/public/bsp/sap/system/login.htm?sap-url=<%=PATHTRANS%>
  &bspchangepasswordvisible=X
  &bsplanguagevisibe=X
  &bspclient=000
  &bsplanguage=de
  &bsptermsofuse=/sap/bc/bsp/sap/lib/termsofuse.htm
  &bspforgotpass=/sap/bc/bsp/sap/lib/forgotpass.htm
  &bspsysidvisible=x
Profile parameters
If you want to use the SAP logon, you must activate Single Sign On (SSO) with the following profile parameters:
login/accept_sso2_ticket=1
login/create_sso2_ticket=1 or 2
icm/server_port_...=PROT=HTTPS ...
To change these profile parameters, you need to reboot the server.
It is absolutely imperative that you activate SSO (or SSO2). However, you can also change your password without HTTPS, although this is not recommended for security reasons.
Note the remarks above on the BspDontShowHttpsWarning parameter under Explanation of the redirect parameters.
To activate SSO/SSL, you need to do more than just set the above profile parameters. You must also install the corresponding security libraries on the application server. You can find a description of how to install it under http://service.sap.com/security -> Security in Detail -> Infrastructure Security -> SAP SAP Web Application Server Security (Release 6.20) -> Configuring the SAP Web Dispatcher to Support SSL.
You do not need to install SSO software on the client PC.
Message server settings
If you are using a message server, the settings should already be implemented, as described in Note 493475. To use HTTPS, you also need to maintain the following profile parameter on the message server.
ms/https_port
The HTTP(S) port of the message server (for example, 1090) cannot be identical to the HTTP(S) port of the application server (for example, 1080) on which the message server is running.
Consider the required SAP kernel patch, as described in Note 517860.
Application server settings
No additional settings are required for the application server Consider the required SAP kernel patch, as described in Note 517860.
BW Web Intelligence settings
No settings are required in BW Web Intelligence. Business Explorer tools such as the Web Application Designer, Query Designer or SAP Easy Access Menu automatically generate URLs with the message server and port if this is defined by the profile parameters above.
Adjusting the layout
Information on adjusting the layout is available at http://help.sap.com -> SAP Web Application Server -> SAP Web Application Server 6.20 -> mySAP Technology-Components -> SAP Web Application Server -> Web Applications -> Web Application Server -> Web Applications and Business Server Pages -> User Concepts -> Logging onto BSP Applications -> Enhancements, Layout changes section.
