Webservices with SAML

[Former Member]

We are PI 7.11, Iam trying out an synchronous scenario

Web Applicattion(SOAP) --> PI -

---

> ECC(Proxy)

We want to use SAML for the webservice. In the SOAP adapter, there is no option for 'SAML' in the security profile.

I have following questions:

1) Can we implement SAML for the webservices,IF so, then how?

2)If we cannot do SAML with SOAP adapter, then which adapter we can use for the webservices to use SAML.

Thanks

Soap adapter does not support SAML security option. Only WS adapter support this currently. There are few options.

1) Using Apache axis  open source in using java mapping to implement this. This is one feasible approach. But it takes more java effort.

2) I dont think even SOAP Axis adapter  support this. You might want to check SAP NOTE on this.

You might want to check this link for java mapping inside pi.

WS adapter can be used to integrate between SAP systems only. If your sender system in non sap, you cannot use this.
