Our company has invested a large amount of time and money into a home-grown custom web application portal. This portal authenticates users with our internal LDAP system currently. What we'd like to offer is the ability for our users to continue to use the existing web framework we have, but automatically authenticate them to the SAP portal to take advantage of some of the features the portal offers.
One could simply subumit the "Login Form" data elements to the http://host:port/irj/portal URL; however, I would prefer to find a better solution as this would imply passing the password as plain text. I would rather see if there was another alternative.
Any thoughts?
hi chris,
you can go head with the concept of *FEDERATED PORTAL .
In federated portal we can integrate the sap portal with non sap portal. we can transmit data from one portal to other portal aswell ..
here are the some of the links for you to get the better idea in an organizations

Yes there are various ways u can authenticate external application with portal . One u have mentioned is user mapping technique . You can use logonticket authentication , if u r application generate any id after sending url request like event validation then u can parse this reponse and can validate user authentication , If u have java application then u can build the ear file and deploy it in portal and if same userid is maintained then u can hard use 3 line of code to get current portal user login and can run u r external application. ihave done all type of these sso with third party applications.
