CTS+ and SSO - Error retrieving JCO destination, no SAP logon ticket found

[Former Member]

I've configured CTS+ to transport objects from my ESR. When I set up the CTSserver RFC destination from the Java stack to the ABAP stack with a fixed technical userid (my own for testing purposes!) and password everything works perfectly. When I reconfigure it to use the "current user" via SSO, I get an error saying:

Error retrieving JCO destination

[EXCEPTION]

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No SAP logon ticket found

Either my Java stack is not issuing tickets at all (can't see why) or my authentication process for the ESR is not using a login stack which generates a SSO ticket.

I used the NWA Configuration Management->Security->Authentication process to find the Policy Configuration called "sap.com/com.sap.xi.repository*rep" and set the "used template" field to "ticket". However, when I look at the Policy Configuration Details properties it says "auth_method" = "basic".

Has anybody successfully used SSO to transport ESR objects with CTS+ and, if so, what have I missed?

Hello

The issue with SSO in CTS+ transport is a known limitation in CTS+ transport. This is documented in note #1003674 Enhancement for non-ABAP systems in CTS. See the second point, in section "General limitations (as of Support Package Stack 14 or 7.1/Support Package 6)".

As a work around you can use a configured user in the RFC destination. This can be done by disabling the aii property,

"com.sap.aii.ib.core.sso.enabled".

Thanks Mark.

I'll stop banging my head against this particular brick wall and try to find somewhere else to bang it! Disappointing outcome but at least I know not to bother trying to make the unworkable work.
