hi.
i need to connect from my android mobile to sap bi phone.
we published the ip address in order to connection to mobile bi on android device from external network,
for internal network by using the mobile server ip address works fine.. but after publishing the ip i get this error message ...
"Connection to server could notbe established; try again or conttact your administrator(MOB06031)...
is there any step by step guide for this?
how to configure for using on any network from external and internal.
mobile server URL:
<mypublishedadd>.< example.com>
CMS
<mypublishedadd>
Any Mobile application if it has to get connected to the internal corporate servers which are protected by firewalls cannot directly be accesse unless the ports for these servers are exposed to the external network directly or through a reverse proxy , It is exposed else VPN is the direct way.
1. In your case , the most easiest without changing your landscape , First connect to VPN over Mobile to your corporate network first and then try to login in. It should work.
2. Else, you can hosts a Reverse proxy server in the DMZ layer and expose to the external network. In the reverse proxy server, you can map the internal Mobile BI server details which again can as well help you.
3. Third is , you directly expose your Mobile BI server in the DMZ layer so that it is accessible to the external network directly , In this case , your IT has to as well manager the security since your Mobile BI server is directly exposed to external network.

We are too experiencing this same issue with our android mobile bi users. However, our iphone users can connect it with no issues. The network has a dmz and the server is exposed. I have even placed the mobile bi servers ssl cert on the android phones to test. Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks

hi Chris,
we configured the ssl cert on the bo server for accessing from external net
To set up SSL for all server communication, you need to perform the following steps:
Edite E:\SAP BO\tomcat\conf\server.xml as follows
<Connector port="****"
SSLEnabled="true"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
sslProtocol="TLSv1"
maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false"
keystoreFile="C:\SSL\urcetname.pfx"
keystorePass="passcode"
keystoreType="PKCS12"
/>
i hope this help.

Hello Beniam,
Were you able to make this work. Please convert this to answered if answers have resolved the access issue with the App.

Hey,
So what i understand is you are not able to access the tomcat page as well from outside network.
If that is the case then IT needs to help you to resolve this, if SAP BI is not able to connect and Safari works fine then could you please send across the logs in debug mode from the App.
Regards
Vikas
