portal and ESS application running in same J2EE engine

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

We have ESS Leave Application integrated in Netweaver Portal 7 SP13 running. We are trying to understand the authentication mechanism between portal and WDJ application to fine tune performance of the application. Our question is when clicked on WD Java Leave application (sap.authorization = true) from portal how and what kind of authorization checks happens. Will this check also involved authenticating with UME (LDAP server) though both portal and WDJ are running on the same J2EE engine.

Please let us know details on this

Regards

Sudhir

Sudhir,

Generally all the WDJ application uses the default Authentication which is specified in the Authscheme.xml file

To find the Authscheme.xml

Login to ConfigTool and switch it to edit mode

goto cluster_Data | server | Persistent | com.sap.security.core.ume.service

Open the Authscheme.xml file and you can find the entry like

<authscheme -refs>

<authscheme -ref name="default">

<authscheme> XXXXXXXXXXX<authscheme>

</authscheme-ref>

Thanks,

Sreeni.
