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

We've finally determined that the bad (HTTP vs HTTPS) url's are contained within web pages vs. header. SAP logic is definitely generating absolute url's and that's the root cause.

 

 

SAP has recommended that we switch our protocol to be all HTTPS vs. HTTPS to the client and HTTP internally within our network. We don't want to do that as there isn't any reason that we need to run HTTPS internally.

 

 

Found a wonderful F5 resource who took the time to analyze the traffic and find all of the "where and when" url's were absolute. Then built configuration within the F5 configuration to look for specific patterns and when found change to HTTPS

 

 

We are quite surprised that this is not spoken of often within BLOGS / FORUMS ETC. as to date, we hadn't been able to find anyone else reporting of the same issue and responses to their solutions.

 

 

Thank you
