Java API to create/generate a SSO login ticket

[Former Member]

We are writing J2EE application which suppose to run on almost any Application Server.

The application has to connect to R/3 system using JCo and login ticket (because only user name is known).

We are looking for a security Java API which will generate a SSO login ticket which can be passed to JCo.

Is there any? What are requirements (public/private parts, etc..)?

Any examples?

Thanks in advance,

Igor

Hi Maksim,

Thanks for your reference. Which jar file contains this class? Will it work under any applications server like OC4J and WebLogic?

Thanks,

The aforementioned class is in tc_sec_jaas.jar. You'll also have to setup a runtime sharing reference to the applicable library (which is called security.class) that contains this jar file so you can deploy your application.

And no, this library won't work with other servers - these login tickets are specific to SAP. You'll have to construct a plugin architecture to get your application to communicate with the various vendor architectures.

Hi Ken,

Actually I need SAP specific tickets. I am asking will this jar work under other Application Serves and properly generate SAP tickets to connect to R/3?

Can you elaborate more on your phrase "You'll also have to setup a runtime sharing reference to the applicable library (which is called security.class) that contains this jar file so you can deploy your application."

Thanks,
