Integrating SAP iView into .NET portal

[PrasannaGunji]

Hi,

I need to integrate an existing SAP iView into .NET based portal. I would appreciate if anybody can guide me with the prerequisites and procedure to do this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Prasanna,

Can you describe the iView a little more? If it's a simple transaction iView using SAP GUI for HTML, then your considerations are:

1. know the unique URL for that SAP Portal iView and call it wth a URL-based web part

2. get the SAP Portal to issue you a logon ticket so SSO to the SAP back-end system will occur seamlessly

Step 1 is easy. You can follow these instructions to derive the default URL:

or you can use quick links as described here:

Step 2 leaves you several options but I think your best bet would be find the HTTP header variable (session cookie) that's set by your .net Portal and then configure the SAP Portal to use the HeaderVariableLoginModule as part of your ticket login module stack and configure it to expect the .net variable.

Using Header Variable Login Module (written for NW04 but procedure is unchanged for NW7):

Good read regarding SECURE use of Header Variable Authentication:
