Portal access in apm no rewrite

We have few applications like sap portal application which is being rewritten by default behavior of apm and breaking lot of functionality.a

 

Is it possible in apm to say don't rewrite for those application URL ? This used to be possible in fire pass.

    Hi

     

     

    It is possible to disable rewrite --via -- APM - Portal Access -Rewrite Profiles -- (edit the rewite profie and add URLs to bypass)

     

     

    Bypass List - Directly accesses the URL and leaves the URL unmodified. Use this option to speed up serving public sites. Type a URL match pattern for URLs to be accessed directly, bypassing the Access Policy Manager's reverse proxy engine, and click the Add to Bypass List button.

     

     

    Having said that .... 2 things

     

     

    1) You could try disabling caching on the portal app to see if it fixes the broken portions. Also you can try disabling chunking, and compression.

     

     

    2) Working with F5 support wil be the best path to resolve this. The data that support will need is:

     

    -- Http watch trace of accessing the app directly, not via rewrite. Be sure to clear browser cache first.

     

    -- Qkview and what virtual is being used.

     

    -- Screenshot of the error.

     

    -- Exact steps taken during the httpwatch.

     

    -- Web engine trace (sometimes not needed, but often helpful)

     

     

    Support can generally reproduce and then fix the error if they get this data.

     

  • Thanks mate.would this split tunnel bypass list work for internal URL ?

     

    The sap application which has issues is an internal URL not public URL.

     

    The app URL is like:

     

    Https:// sapportal.company.com/irj/portal

     

    and https://sapicm.company.com:8443

     

    what pattern uri do I put for this?Do I put wild card .
