Portal :: JCO :: authentication with and without SSO

[Former Member]

Hi SCN,

we have an Portal Webdynpro application that uses an JCO connection to backend system using SSO credentials, but some users doesn't have the same userid in both systems, so, someone has an clue in how to achieve this "doble" authentication if SSO fails while connecting via JCO?

Even when authentication fails using SSO, the application doesn't gave an error, it simply show data fields without information.

best regards,

Hi,

If you cannot modify the problematic users to be the same in the portal and the back end system, you can try to use user mapping.

But it is not possible to have a JCO connection both with SSO and without SSO.

Even when authentication fails using SSO, the application doesn't gave an error, it simply show data fields without information.

Well, it means that the application is poorly programmed....

Hi Olivier,

but user mapping is only used for systems created into portal, how can we use it for JCO ?

thanks,

Hi Pedro,

Sorry, I don't know if it is possible. If possible this would be done in the backend system, betwwen the SAP Logon ticket and the abap user.

The best solution is definitively to have the same users on the Portal and the backend system.

This is the very reason why we chossed to use our ECC6 system as the UME database for our Portal.
