Use

The URLs you make available for users can reveal information about your systems that others can take advantage of. We recommend you configure your system to prevent the unnecessary disclosure of information.

Host Name and Port

The use of an SAP Web dispatcher enables you to conceal the host name and ports of your application server. URLs include the host name and port of the SAP Web dispatcher. If you configure the SAP Web dispatcher to use the standard ports (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS), then the URL need not include the port.

For more information, see the SAP Web dispatcher documentation.

Use transaction SICF to create virtual hosts or external aliases to ensure that the client, language, user ID, and password do not appear in URLs that connect to your application server.
