Configuring Logon Groups on AS Java

Use

Use this procedure to define logon groups using the AS Java administration tools, and then configure the HTTP URL that SAP Web Dispatcher uses to retrieve logon groups information.

Procedure

...

       1.      Define logon groups using the SAP NetWeaver Administrator. For more information, see Logon Group Configuration.

       2.      Define the special HTTP URLs, which SAP Web Dispatcher uses to send to the AS Java to retrieve the logon groups information. To do that, specify the URL using the wdisp/J2EE/group_info_location and wdisp/J2EE/url_map_location parameters in the SAP Web Dispatcher’s profile.

Make sure the URLs you specify with the two properties above do not start with the /sap/ string. In this case, SAP Web Dispatcher redirects them to AS ABAP rather than to AS Java, which is critical in an ABAP+Java system.

Make sure the URLs you specify with the two properties above do not overlap with a URL used to request an application on AS Java. In such case, the URL sent by the SAP Web Dispatcher is handled with priority; therefore, requests to your application are not served correctly.

       3.      To make AS Java aware of the special URLs that SAP Web Dispatcher uses for logon groups information retrieval, you must configure the GroupInfoRequest and UrlMapRequest properties of the HTTP Provider service running on server processes:

                            a.      Open the Visual Administrator.

                            b.      Open the HTTP Provider service running on server process.

                            c.      Add the corresponding URLs as values of the GroupInfoRequest and UrlMapRequest properties.

We recommend that you use the following value to configure the GroupInfoRequest property:

/JavaEE/public/icf_info/icr_groups

We recommend that you use the following value to configure the UrlMapRequest property:

/JavaEE/public/icf_info/icr_urlprefix

                            d.      Save the settings of the properties.

Be aware that when an AS Java receives a request containing this special URL, it returns a response with sensitive information, which contains data about your cluster setup.
