Accessing SAP externally through secure remote access gateway

We are trying to setup secure remote access for the SAP application using SUN JES Secure Remote Access Gateway.

The infrastructure is working fine when I access it through internally.

If I try to access the URL through externally (internet), the pages related to SAP backend applicaion (ICH - Inventory Collaboration Hub) are not getting displayed properly.

The SAp enterprise portal runs on 51200 where we have installed the Policy Agent. The backend ICH is running on a different port 1099 on https.

The contents from 51200 (SAP enterprise portal) are displayed properly even from externally. But the contents from backend 1099 secure port are not getting diaplyed.

Not sure if this is something to do with the reverese proxy / rewrite rules.

I see similar problems posted with respect to Apache reverse proxy because it is not able to forward the /sap(sap session cookie)...

Can any one help me if you experienced similar problem?

Please make sure below things

1) If firewall exists between gateway and portal server then open up ports 51200, 1099 in the firewall

2) In the default gateway profile (psconsole) , add the URLs for SAP backend as well as front end with proper ports.

3) Enable"Rewriting of all URLs" in the default gateway profile (psconsole)

4) Restart the gateway.

Not sure, but this might solve the problem to some extent

Thanks for the response.

We did all those steps... but having the same behaviour.

The problem I am seeing is, at some point of time the URL is passing
