Is necessary WAS installed on Windows Server to use SSO w/ Kerberos V5?

[Former Member]

I read SAP Help docs, but I didn't found this information. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

It is definitely NOT necessary to have WAS installed on windows operating system. What SSO do you want to implement? SAP Gui SSO? Or Web / Portal SSO?

Because in SAP Help on topics <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/0ebf6c9b2b0d1ae10000000a114a6b/content.htm">Single Sign-On with Microsoft Kerberos SSP</a> and

This text let me think that central instance is installed on a Windows Server, but on SAP Help docs I didn't found the specific information that the central instance must be installed on a Windows Server.

Daniel,

well, if you want to use a Microsoft Kerberos it seems to be obvious that you have to use Microsoft Windows.

If you want to use Microsoft Software together with ours, its almot clear that this will be running on Windows.

What else would you expect?

Why do you think this could be necessary?
