Question

Is it possible to read the clients ip address in an SAP BSP Application? We’d like to save the ip for a later moment.

The connection comes via a WebDispatcher in our DMZ to the SAP WAS.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Here’s a quick example how to do this; create a controller and implement the DO_REQUEST like this:

method do_request.
  data remote_ip type string.
  remote_ip = request->get_header_field( `~remote_addr` ).
  write( remote_ip ).
endmethod.

Edit: I could not test this with a web dispatcher though.
