Hi !

 

Just to add some more information to my otherwise obscure message please :)...

 

This is what we see:

 

 

Port 77 is the port defined on the Web Dispatcher for SAP & on the F5 too. This service (since it needs HTTPS) is using port 44321 (the SAP internal HTTPS port), thus resulting in a Page cannot be displayed message (since when it traverses through the Web Dispatcher it enters HTTP territory & the Web Dispatcher does not recognize HTTPS).

 

It should stay on port 77 & use the HTTPS certificate provided by the F5 instead.

 

Please help advise......

 

Thanks a lot for your help ! Happy Wednesday. saba.
