Java GUI 7.20 and SNC on Windows 7

[Former Member]

Hello

Just trying out the preview version of GUI 7.20 on Windows 7 OS, and tried to setup a SNC logon. Error message is "Unable to load GSS-API DLL named "sncgss32.dll" ...

I've done a search and there is no sncgss32.dll file anywhere on the computer. I cannot find it in the installation package either.

Maybe it is not included in the preview version... Has anyone setup SNC logon functionality on Windows 7?

Hello

I made the same conclusion, that the gui tries to load a default library - sncgss32.dll , and it is not there. But I cannot find it anywhere on my computer, and the installation package comes as a jar file, and in it I also cannot find the library. I suppose I cannot use the dll from the GUI 7.10 installation?

thanks

Hi Aleksandra,

did you solve your problem with Windows 7 and SAPGui 7.20?

Thank you,

Hello

Yes, it is solved. I simply used the sncgss32.dll file from Windows GUI 7.10 i usually use.

Why it was not copied to my laptop during the installation od SAP GUI for Java, I do not know. I opened a customer message about this but received a vague answer

"for the SNC logon you need also a 3rd party snc software.

SNC software is not a part of the sapgui for java, also not in the

Sapgui for windows!"

which i did not understand, because the file I needed IS included in the windows installation.

Dear Aleksandra,

Try the msi package of: Note 352295 - Microsoft Windows Single Sign-On options

It worked for us.

FIX :

1. From your Windows Start Menu, go to SAP Front End folder and choose SAP Logon.

2. Highlight the desired SAP instance to modify (it may end with (SNC); i.e. D7C (SNC).

3. Click the Change Item button.

4. Go to the Network tab. NOTE: It takes around 1 minute to show this tab.

5. Uncheck the Activate Secure Network Communication box and click OK.

Hello,

SAPGUI for Java (and Windows) come(s) with a kind of plug-in infrastructure to use security products for Secure Network Connections, but not including a SNC product itself.

Did you install the library required for using SNC and are pointing to it using the SNC_LIB environment variable? The error message looks like it tries to load a default library, but it is not there.

You might want to read the information about SNC in general available at
