Configuring SAP Web Dispatcher

The following is to give you an example of how to configure your Web Dispatcher.

1 SAP Web Dispatcher as proxy to map in and outgoing requests for different
systems
1 SAP NetWeaver Gateway server (optional if using external gateway)
1 Front-end system

In the example below SAP Web Dispatcher listens at port 443 and transfers:

all requests which start with /sap/opu/odata/ to the Gateway system

all requests which start with /sap/public/bc or /sap/bc to the front-end system

Configuration Settings for SAP Web Dispatcher

When configuring the SAP Web Dispatcher define the example values below according to
your requirements. To implement your configuration you can copy the source code below
and adapt it according to your business requirements.

#https settings
ssl/ssl_lib = <sapcrypto dll>
ssl/server_pse = <pse>
icm/HTTPS/verify_client = 0
ssl/client_pse = <pse>
wdisp/ssl_encrypt = 1
wdisp/ssl_auth = 2
wdisp/ssl_cred = <pse>
wdisp/ssl_certhost = <host name>
icm/HTTPS/forward_ccert_as_header = true

# SAP Web Dispatcher Ports

icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTPS,PORT=443,TIMEOUT=120

wdisp/system_conflict_resolution = 1
wdisp/add_clientprotocol_header = 1
wdisp/handle_webdisp_ap_header = 1
wdisp/add_xforwardedfor_header = true

# Configuration for Gateway Server(For example, SAP Business Suite

wdisp/system_0 = SID=<GW SID>, MSHOST=<GW MSHOST>, MSPORT=<GW MSPOR

# Configuration for Front-End Server:

wdisp/system_1 = SID=<FE SID>, MSHOST=<FE MSHOST>, MSPORT=<FE MSPOR

Note
If you want to use the Web GUI applications on the front end servers then you have to
append this additional path /sap/public/icmandir/ to the SRCURL of the frontend server.
