GUI 7.40 P3 saplogon.ini via http

Hi,

I want to provide a centralized saplogon.ini on a webserver. I don't want to use an unc share because this will cause serious problems with user credentials in my special case. I've checked notes 1426178 and 1541648.

So I've added registry entry HKLM/../ConfigFileOnServer: "http://server/SapLogonTree.xml"

In SapLogonTree.xml you see this:

File type="Connections" name="saplogon.ini" - saplogon.exe displays an empty window (of course)

So I changed to this:

File type="Connections" name="http://server/saplogon.ini" - this also results in an empty window, but I can open the URL in my browser without problems.

I also tried this:

File type="Connections" name="\\server\share\saplogon.ini" - this works well, but as I said it is no option for me.

Now I'm lost. Did I misunderstand note 1541648 and you cannot specify saplogon.ini with an URL at all?

Thanks a lot

Frank
