user authentication (JSP) with knowledge warehouse 4

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am not sure whether I am posting into the right forum regarding my question but I'll go ahead anyhow :).

I need to add a link to the knowledge warehouse browser gui that calls a JSP. This JSP will finally call a function module on the R/3 KW, but needs to authenticate the user before being allowed to make the call.

I am wondering how user and password information are stored/maintained in a knowledge warehouse browser context. They are definitely not stored in a cookie, as far as I found out. Does anyone know if they can be found and accessed somehow?

This is a vital question for the project I am working on and therefor I am very thankful for any input on this!

With best regards,

Helga

Hallo Gregor,

I am sorry but the article did not answer my question. I don't need a to log on to a system different from SAP, moreover my starting point is a webbased SAP application (KW4.0) I need to get username and password from in order to call a function module from a JSP page.

I hope I have not confused you to much with my description. Thank you for your help anyhow!

Best reagards
