SAP GUI HTML Public Access through a public IP

You have the option in accessing your SAP system via SAP GUI HTML using a public IP which will allow you to access your SAP system via public natting without the need to have a private VPN “Virtual private network”.

The way how I did was that I took

and gave it to the network team, and mentioned to them my private internal IP for my SAP system along with the port 8000 which I am using for http.

From the network team side, they linked “http://private IP:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui” into a public IP they have so when ever I put “http:// public IP:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui” it directs me to the SAP GUI HTML.

Hope this was helpful
