ABAP webdynpro in EP url are HTTP vs. HTTPs - popup errors - need to adapt F5 config

We've been live with F5 load balancing our SAP EP java traffic for 3 years now -

 

 

We introduced ABAP web dynpro to our customer EP and they now receive pop-ups; HTTP watch trace files show that the themes url built are HTTP vs. HTTPS. With that said, we've gotten recommendation from SAP to change our "Ports" and "ProxyMappings" configuration settings thru Visual administrator in the Dispatcher for the HTTP provider.

 

 

We need to

 

1) Configure the Ports parameter in the following way:

 

(Port:54100,Type:http)(Port:54101,Type:ssl)(Port:54102,Type:http)

 

 

2) Configure the ProxyMappings in the following way:

 

54100=(Host:hostname.com,Port:80,Scheme:http, Override:true),54101=(Host:hostname.com,Port:443, Scheme:http,Override:true),54102=(Host:hostname.com, Port:443,Override:true)

 

 

With this configuration, all the HTTP requests sent to port 54102 will be mapped on the Java dispatcher to the proxy server's host (hostname.com) and HTTPS port (443).

 

 

OK - so being a Basis admin techie --- we KNOW how and what to do on the SAP/EP side to make these changes - GOT IT

 

 

SAP has said "you need to adapt the F5 configuration" -- this is where we fall short and do not have the skill set to define what / how needs to be done to our F5 configuration; we've always contracted out our F5 configuration which to date has been basic enough that it didn't warrant a resource with both SAP and F5 skills

 

 

 

Any F5 / SAP guru's out there willing to talk this thru with us and perhaps get us to where we need to go?

 

 

Thank you in advance
