Exposing Portal over Internet

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have implemented SAP modules like SRM, BI and HR in our landscape and Portal is the single point for accessing all the available functionalities. Now, we want to access the portal from Internet WITHOUT MAKING OTHER SYSTEMS accessible because of security reasons. With this, I am not able to access SRM applications because it tries to connect to Web AS of SRM system as configured in System Object of Portal.

Please let me know the way or method used in accessing Portal over Internet.

Thanks,

Hi Iftekhar,

The ideal scenario should be configuring a reverse proxy which can be place in a DMZ zone. The Reverse proxy will be use to write the rewrite rules.

Also to ensure the security a SSL implementation is highly recommended.This can be through out the landscpe or from the internet cloud to the reverse proxy depends on the requirement.

You can find a tons of material in SDN for configuring reverse proxy and SSL in the landscape.This could be starting point for configuring reverse proxy.

and for SSL you can follow this []

Hi,

Read about Reverse proxies (like Apache or the SAP Web Dispatcher). That is what you need.
