how to disable / skip logon screen

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is it possible to run a BW Web report from outside of Portal without Portal logon screen popup (pre-setup logon userid/pw)?

Thanks, Jin

That's called "Single Sign-On". It's not based on passwords but (e.g.) on SAP Logon Tickets (or X.509 Client Certificates).

I'd suggest to have a look on the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/1c/1368a5a588ff4a8bedc4039c03c40f/frameset.htm">Security Guide for SAP NetWeaver BI</a> -> <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/d1/b2f59ea671fc4b8ae74bda16648f88/frameset.htm">Authentication and Single Sign-On</a>.

Thanks Wolfgang for the info. I know the Single Sign-On works when you are in Portal. Does Single Sign-On work when you are Not in Portal? I want to trigger the BW web report from IE and don't want to stop on logon screen. Is it possible?

Thanks, Jin

I assume I understand what you are looking for:

You want to logon to the BI system (to trigger an BW web report) using your browser - without being prompted for userID and password, i.e. using SSO.

Well, that's possible if using X.509 client certificates.

However, ABAP systems do not support SPNEGO (-> "Windows Integrated Authentication"). That topic has been discussed multiple times in this forum, e.g. in .

Does this answer your question?
