User ID executing ABAP WebDynpro Application

[Former Member]

Hello,

If we are running a ABAP WebDynpro application from a portal and we don´t want to create user ID both in portal and in SAP machine. Is it possible to have a system-user executing the applikation instead of the portal user ID ?

Many users will run this web Dynpro report and it would help a lot if they only needed authorization to the portal and not to the SAP machine.

Thanksful for your help.

Best Regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

it is absolutely possible to provide access to WDA applications from the portal using a specific generic user rather than a named SAP user. Within the SICF logon data tab for your application you can specify the user to be used.

However, be careful with this approach as it may breach the terms of your SAP license agreement - generally all WDA should be via a named user. That said SAP are normally quite flexible about this sort of thing - but I would be approaching your SAP client manager to discuss the particular situation and if they would be happy for you to do this. Especially given the description of your requirement I would be especially vigilant with getting prior approval from SAP, as this does look like the sort of situation where they would normally be wanting you to pay license fees for those users.

Good luck,

Chris

hi,

you can consider using the user mapping in the portal . When you define a system in portal you can choose what kind of logi n you can set up.

Find your solution in this direction (user mapping in portal ).

You can also try using the sicf transaction to influence the user authorization.
