PI - Reading subject from certificate

[former_member185171]

Hi,

we want to publish some webservices and make them available to our endusers who have limited access to the data in out R/3 system. This means we must be able to control their authorizations based on their userid.

How can extract this userid out of the personal certificate they have?

Maybe I clarify: when I take a look at my SDN passport, in the "subject" I notice my SDN-user as "CN=S00000...". For our own users we can put their own id in there.

But how do we get it out again? Should we build some mapping and use this in the incoming interface? Or is there another solution to this?

We do not want to use basic authentication, because we do not want userid and password in the url.

Thanks for any help.

you dont need to have userid and password in the URL (sap-user, sap-password). You can use the PI user (with PIAPPLUSER) in the sending application (in their tool like it is done for SOAP UI).
