Add crossdomain.xml on the root of SAP Web application server

in this post I would like to resume all the steps required in order to add the crossdomain.xml on the root of SAP WAS.

First of all create a crossdomain.xml, I used this content:

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM “http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd”>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain=”*” secure=”false” to-ports=”*”/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain=”*” headers=”*”/>
</cross-domain-policy>

If you need more information about crossdomain.xml please refers to Adobe Cross-domain policy file specification

Then create a new empty BSP application as shown below:

Crossdomain 1

Import a new MIME object into the BSP application and select the crossdomain.xml that you have created:

Crossdomain 2

Then launch SICF and modify the default_host and set the default service:

Crossdomain 3

Open your browser and test the settings:

Crossdomain 4

Hope this could help you.

Ivan

Note: This is a solution but I’m triyng to find an other way in order to have not to modify the default_host properties.

Hi Ivan!

Thank you for writing this all down, great help actually! I started implementing it, but one thing is still missing: If I follow the steps above, I can create a file with path “/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zflex/crossdomain.xml?sap-client=800″ which is not really what I want, having the file in the root with no parameters added (“/crossdomain.xml”).
So maybe if you could add this information it would make this guide much better.

Regards,
k.

Hi k,

did you apply the changes to the default_host using the SICF?
Have you activated the service root?

Let me know.

Hello,

I have checked service default_host using SICF, double clicked on root element default_host, double clicked sap/bc/bsp/sap/zflex – still it doesn’t work. It says:
“BSP Exception: the BSP URL /crossdomain.xml Does Not Contain Any Application Entries”

rather strange for me

Thanks & Best Regards,
Gabor

Hi Gabor,

take a look to this OSS Note
Note 1260386 – ICF service link/alias to BSP/ITS service is incorrect

Hi,
In order to avoid the error message described in note 1260386, you can create a web page (with flow logic) instead of a mime object, name it crossdomain.xml and copy paste the contents in it.
Set it as the initial page for the BSP, and set up your default_host as described.

Hope this helps,
Kim

Hi Hwang,

I have not found any solution right now, what I could suggest you is to schedule a task at the restart of the system in order to auto reconfigure default host.

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed post.
I have a question.
I’ve followed the steps in my BW server and the xml is on the root of the BW server,
but I need it to be on the root of the portal!

How do I do that?

Regards

Shlomi

Hi Shlomi,

you do not need to put it on the root, it is enough to perform the last step as described (default_host into SICF)

Ivan

Hey,
first of all thank you for your first help.

But I have the followering problem that I have created a FLEX application which use extracted data from the SAP Business Suite and now if I put my application on my computer anywhere I’ve get the policy error message (attachement). This I can dissabled localy by using the Flex security setting. But that is not really a solution because it should also work anywhere without making this.
So I have insert the “crossdomain.xml” like you and made the same steps but the problem now is that I get a password request if I open my appl. on not local permitted locations. And my question is how I can avoid this because I do not can access it and after I cancel the password window (requested password from application server) it I get the same error message.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Franziska

Ps.:
1. Here the error message based on security policy

[RPC Fault faultString="Security error accessing url" faultCode="Channel.Security.Error" faultDetail="Destination: DefaultHTTP"]

Hi Ivan,

I have the same issue as K (post #3). I did apply OSS Note 1260386 but the issue was not solved, I got the same error message.

Before we upgraded to ERP 6.0, running WAS 6.20 (R/3 4.7), I followed the above steps and it worked fine. But with NetWeaver 7, I get the error message in post #3.

Please help.

Thank you,

Achille

I found this online http://www.asabau.com/2009/04/crossdomain-policy-file-in-sap-web-application-server/

It works better because you can reboot the server and it keeps working.

Upload your Crossdomain.xml to a directory on the SAP server, Open RZ10, edit your system (Extended Maintenance), add
a parameter
Parameter Name: icm/HTTP/file_access_0
Parameter Val: PREFIX=/crossdomain.xml, DOCROOT=E:\Path to your file on the SAP server\crossdomain.xml
