SSO and JSO

[Former Member]

In this scenario:

• IE as the Browser

• a Servlet application running on SAP JAVA WEB AS, communicating via JCO with SAP R/3

• SAP R/3 usernames are the same as windows accounts

we want the Servlet application to connect to SAP R/3 with the windows account of the machine hosting the browser, and we don't want the user to enter the windows domain username/password

How can we do this ? Can Kerberos be useful ?

Thx

Hi Umberto,

yes kerberos is a solution.

Check out these weblogs:

/people/vaibhav.dua2/blog/2006/04/24/kerberos-implementation-with-ads-made-easy

you don't need a portal for that because the functionality is integrated into the Web AS Java.

Thanks for help. I could easily obtain SSO between IE and the J2EE Engine, using Active Directory as a KDC.

My point is: JCO needs a username and a password (or a SSO Logon Ticket). How can I get them ?

Hi Umberto,

This should be done from the destination service of the J2EE Engine, as described here:
