EP 7.1 SSO with .Net portal

[Former Member]

Hi we have to configure EP 7.1 SSO with .Net portal, information on it as follows:

My portal is getting authenticated by the LDAP (Active Directory) credentails the .Net portal is also getting the authentication by LDAP (AD).

The requirement is that when a user enter's/authenticates this .net portal there is a link inside it which calls my EP (ESS)portal, as soon as the employee clicks on that link my EP portal logon page is displayed. Now the uid and pwd of the EP portal is the same and the user as to reenter the same thing again to access ESS.

How can i configure SSO between them, please if someone can expalin the brief steps to achieve the same or can provide any config doc for the same.

Regards,

Jack.

Hi Jack,

For some background information regarding SSO in SAP / Microsoft mixed landscape:

[Studying Single Sign-On approaches for SAP and Microsoft|http://williamvanstrien.blogspot.com/2009/07/studying-single-sign-on-approaches-for_17.html]

[Schematic overview of SAP enabling technologies for SSO|http://williamvanstrien.blogspot.com/2009/07/schematic-overview-of-sap-enabling.html]

In your situation you could also implement a simple / custom SSO approach: instead of an OOTB Links webpart, build a custom one. Upon clicking a link, let the webpart issue a request to the LDAP with parameter username to retrieve the LDAP password; and with these 2 setup an HttpRequest with authentication header containing the LDAP accountname + password.

Succes, William.
