• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ADM_BIN_MSG104 - URL is in HTTPS protocol. This is not possible in this scenario ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ADM_BIN_MSG104 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Enterprise Search (ES) system, specifically related to the use of HTTPS protocol. This error typically arises when the system is trying to access a URL that is configured to use HTTPS, but the current setup does not support it.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Configuration: The Enterprise Search system may not be configured to handle HTTPS requests. This can happen if the necessary SSL certificates are not installed or if the server is not set up to accept HTTPS connections.
  Incorrect URL: The URL being accessed may be incorrectly specified, leading to an attempt to use HTTPS when it should be using HTTP.
  Network Issues: There may be network-related issues preventing the establishment of a secure connection.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the Enterprise Search system is configured to support HTTPS. This includes verifying that the SSL certificates are correctly installed and configured.
  Check the settings in the SAP system for the HTTP/HTTPS configuration. This can usually be done in transaction SICF (Internet Communication Framework) or STRUST (SSL Server Standard Trust).
  
  
  
  Update URLs:
  
  If the URL is incorrectly specified, update it to use HTTP instead of HTTPS if secure communication is not required.
  Ensure that all relevant services and applications are using the correct protocol as per your system's configuration.
  
  
  
  Network Configuration:
  
  Verify that there are no firewall or network issues that could be blocking HTTPS traffic.
  Ensure that the server is reachable over HTTPS from the client machine.
