SSO variants within the EP framework
SSO with SAP Logon Tickets
 Without User Mapping (preferred, when possible)
 With User Mapping
SSO with User ID and Password
 SAP Österreich GmbH 2007, Andreas Lindenbauer, Karl M. Falb / ‹#›
SSO variants outside the SAP Portal Framework
 X.509 digital certificates
 SPNego ( Kerberos Authentication )
 SAP Österreich GmbH 2007, Andreas Lindenbauer, Karl M. Falb / ‹#›
What are SAP Logon Tickets?
 They represent the user credentials
 They are implemented as a non-persistent cookie in
the client web-browser
 They are sent with each request of the client to a web
server in the same domain as the portal server that
issued the ticket
 They can be used by connected external systems to
authenticate the portal user to those systems without
any further logons
 SAP Österreich GmbH 2007, Andreas Lindenbauer, Karl M. Falb / ‹#›
The SAP Logon Ticket contains
 Portal user ID and if required, one mapped user ID for
external applications
 Highest authentication scheme of the user
 Ticket Validity period (default value = 8 hours)
 Information identifying the issuing system (the unique
credentials of the portal)
 Digital signature
 The Portal Server issues a SAP logon ticket for the
Internet domain or the Internet sub-domain of the Portal
Server only.
