Procedure documentation Setting Up the Web Administration Interface Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Prerequisites

Either the Web Dispatcher or ICM is installed.

You have package ICMADMIN.SAR. To find out where to find it or to get the latest version see Structure linkOperating the SAP Web Dispatcher under section Importing the SAP Web Dispatcher.

Procedure

...

       1.      Define the parameter Structure linkicm/HTTP/admin_<xx> in the Web Disaptcher/ICM profile in the line:

icm/HTTP/admin_0 = PREFIX=/sap/admin,DOCROOT=./admin,PORT=8888,HOST=ls3022 .

This sets the URL prefix for the administration to /sap/admin and the path for the ICP control files to./admin.

With this parameter you can further restrict access to the Web administration interface - to a port (e.g. SSL port), to a local host name (e.g. “local host“), or to an external host name (only from this host can the Web administration interface be accessed).

       2.      Specify this port with Structure linkicm/server_port_<xx> as the ICM port.

       3.      Create an administration user as described under Structure linkCreating Administration Users.The authorization file icmauth.txt will be generated.

       4.      Make sure that file icmauth.txt (the file name can be named something else in icm/HTTP/admin_<xx>) exists in the work directory. If it does not, generate the authorization file icmauth.txt using program icmon, by calling icmon -a.

       5.      Unpack package icmadmin.SAR with the ICP control files into a subdirectory with the name admin, by calling SAPCAR ‑xvf icmadmin.SAR.

SAP Web Dispatcher: Alternative

You can generate the profile file for the Web dispatcher sapwebdisp.pfl and create the authorization file automatically icmauth.txt (with user icmadm). The SAP Web dispatcher is also automatically started with the generated profile. If the files already exist, they are not changed.

For this purpose use the bootstrap option sapwebdisp –bootstrap, as described in Structure linkStarting the SAP Web Dispatcher with the Bootstrap Option.

The Web dispatcher bootstrap creates a user icmadm in group admin with a random eight character password, and outputs, for example, the following:

Web Administration user is "icmadm" with password "RdUAs27F"

Result

You can now use the Web Administration Interface.

In the logon dialog box enter (in the above example) user icmadm and password RdUAs27F.

You can now set up other administration users.

Recommendation

After the SAP Web Dispatcher has been installed you should change the password of user icmadm.

More Information

SAP recommends you use SSL with the client certificate to access the administration interface. For more information see Using the Web Admin Interface with Certificate X.509.
