SNC with arcplan application on Web with SAP BI 7.0

We´re developing a dashboard using the Arcplan Enterprise (5.0) and SAP

BW (7.0) technologies.

We´re connecting theses technologies using an Arcplan´s connector,

named SAP BW BAPI. This connector allows the user login by SNC (the SNC

connection is enable in our system).

When open the arcplan application on local system, we can start the SNC

login process to SAP, and this process let to validate users against

the NT domain automatically, without confirm the user and password.

When open the arcplan application on Web, we want user authentication

makes automatically, validating users against the NT domain

automatically without confirm the user and password (the same case that

on local system). In this case, the login is not successful.

Web application runs on Internet Information Server (IIS).

Is it necessary any specific set up for SNC access for this case?

Thank you very much and Best Regards,

Manuel

Hi,

I suspect you would enable Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS and then use SNC between IIS server and SAP ABAP AS server.

Can you confirm if the web application on IIS server is using SAP .NET Connector provided by SAP, or perhaps it is directly communicating with ABAP server using SAP RFC library ?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim:

It is directly communicating with ABAP server using SAP RFC library.

Arcplan application on Web uses the OLE DB connections to get information from BW Queries.

A lot of thanks for your help,

Manuel

Manuel,

If SAP RFC is used then this can be secured using SNC. You just need to install the SNC library on IIS server and configure the authentication in saprfc.ini file so that SNC is used instead of userid+password.

Also, as mentioned previously you will need to enable Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS and then the credentials of user at workstation will be used to authenticate the user to IIS and the same delagated credentials can be used to authenticate the user to SAP system over the RFC conneciton.

Thanks,

Tim
