Procedure

Configuring the SAP Web Dispatcher to Pass the SSL Connection to the Backend Server

If the SAP Web Dispatcher is to pass the SSL connection to the server in the backend, then, in addition to the standard parameters, set the following profile parameter in the SAP Web Dispatcher’s profile:

icm/server_port_<xx> = PROT=ROUTER, PORT=<port>, TIMEOUT=<timeout_in_seconds>

For more information about the SAP Web Dispatcher’s profile, see Structure linkThe SAP Web Dispatcher Profile Parameter.

       1.      Install the SAP Cryptographic Library on the SAP Web Dispatcher.

       2.      Set the profile parameters.

       3.      Create the SAP Web Dispatcher’s PSE(s) and certificate request(s).

       4.      Send the certificate request(s) to a CA to be signed.

       5.      Import the certificate request response(s) into the PSE.

       6.      Create credentials for the SAP Web Dispatcher.

       7.      Restart the SAP Web Dispatcher.
