How to implement Single Sign On
No CommentSingle Sign-On (SSO) is a key feature of the SAP NetWeaver Portal that eases user interaction with the many component systems available to the user in a portal environment. Once the user is authenticated to the portal, he or she can use the portal to access external applications. With SSO in the portal, the user can access different systems and applications without having to repeatedly enter his or her user information for authentication.
The portal SSO mechanism is available in the following variants depending on security requirements and the supported external applications:
● SSO with logon tickets
● SSO with user ID and password
Both variants eliminate the need for repeated logons to individual applications after the initial authentication at the portal. Whereas SSO with logon tickets is based on a secure ticketing mechanism, SSO with user ID and password forwards the user’s logon data (user ID and password) to the systems that a user wants to call.
Single Sign-On with Logon Tickets :
Logon tickets contain information about the authenticated user. They do not contain any passwords. Specifically, logon tickets contain the following items:
· Portal user ID and one mapped user ID for external applications
· Authentication scheme
· Validity period
· Information identifying the issuing system
· Digital signature
In this article we will see how to implement the single sign-on (SSO) in step by step manner.
SSO enables the use of SAPLOGON TICKETS that bypasses the UIDPW logon method, this usually done in three parts
1) Retrieving Verify.der file from your portal.
2) Running Transaction RZ10 & STRUSTSSO2 in your backend that you want to connect.
3) Creating system & ivew in your portal.
We will see all of these step-by-step
Before starting please keep in mind that to enable SSO your portal user and backend user has to be the same.
