trying to redirect to new SAP PI Adapter url with Authorization .

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

Debug off (0) , On (1)

 

set debug 1

 

 

SAP PI 7.3 standard RNIF Adapter uri

 

set pirnifuri "/MessagingSystem/receive/RNIFAdapter/RNIF"

 

 

If Inbound host matches the b2b hosts then redirect

 

if {[matchclass [http_host] equals pidxb2bhosts] and [HTTP::uri] equals "/RosettaNet" } {

 

 

inbound host and uri

 

 

if { $debug>=1 } {log local0. "PIDX:Inbound host and uri: [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"}

 

 

dev Redirect

 

 

if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "b2b0031" and [HTTP::uri] equals "/RosettaNet" } {

 

 

HTTP::header insert Authorization "Basic WElfQVgwMDFEVjAwOmxpdmU0ZnJlZTE="

 

 

set devsappihost [ class match -value dev equals sappihosts]

 

 

if { $debug>=1 } {log local0. "Redirecting to dev SAP PI"}

 

HTTP::redirect "http://$devsappihost$pirnifuri"

 

 

}

 

 

}

 

 

}

i understand HTTP::header insert will insert header to request toward pool member (server) but HTTP::redirect sends response back to client telling where the new location is. i mean they work in opposite direction.

Basic authentication is a base64-encoding of the username and password:

ex.

demoAdmin:demoAdmin = ZGVtb0FkbWluOmRlbW9BZG1pbg==

So to set this in a header, just do this:


set basicdata [b64encode "demoAdmin:demoAdmin"]
HTTP::header insert Authorization "Basic $basicdata"
