F5 LB Url https://SERVER/webdynpro/dispatcher... gets page cannot be displayed

 

 

Hi Brian,

 

 

thanks for your reply.

 

 

Please let me give some more info,

 

 

I have been running HTTP Watch trace and this is what I see in the trace...

 

 

1, Open Internet Explorer run the url: https://F5LB-VIP/index.html I get the SAP WAS page

 

 

2, Click on WebDynPro, the page opens:

 

https://F5LB-VIP/webdynpro/webdynpro.jsp

 

 

3, Click on Content Administrator:

 

 

and this is the important part, it is at this point that

 

the SAP WAS REDIRECTS to a logon screen, and crucially, for some reason, the REDIRECTION to the Logon Screen happens

 

in HTTP protocol and NOT the HTTPS like before

 

 

it seems the LB is not open for HTTP

 

 

but the questions is, where is the protocol change happening when the REDIRECTION happens to the logon screen ? is the LB changing the Protocol, or is the Portal changing the Protocol ?

 

 

 

If I logon directly on the hostame and do the same, during the REDIRECTION for the SAP WAS logon screen, there is no PROTOCOL change.

 

 

 

Does that mean for some reason the LB is forcing a protocol change ?

 

 

Thanks and regards,

 

 

John.
