Enable gateway proxy settings
Parameter Description
You can use this parameter to restrict the forwarding of requests from other gateways.
Requests can be forwarded to other gateways if the gateway options are defined for the RFC destination, or if load balancing is activated.
You can make entries in the file to specify whetherr requests from specific gateways are permitted or denied.
Each line describes permitted or forbidden connections. The line must have the following syntax:
P or D SOURCE=hosta DEST=hostb
The first character must be a P (permit) or a D (deny).
P: These entries indicate permitted connections.
D: These entries indicate denied connections.
For SOURCE and DEST, you can specify lists of host names, IP addresses, subnetwork masks, and/or domain names. These entries must be separated by a comma.
You can also optionally include a port number. If you do so, only requests from the specified system are accepted or denied. The port number must be the number of the gateway, for example, 3300 for the system with number 00. Wild cards are not permitted here.
Example:
P SOURCE=saphosta DEST=saphostb
D SOURCE=saphosta:3300 DEST=saphostb
D SOURCE=10.18.54.56 DEST=10.18.55.*
P SOURCE=*.sap.com DEST=*.sap.com
P SOURCE=*.sap.com,*sap.corp DEST=*
If a request arrives from another gateway and is to be forwarded, the file is searched sequentially and stopped at the first matching entry. The request is forwarded or denied in accordance with the entry.
If no entry is found, the request is denied.
If the file does not exist, all requests are forwarded.
