HANA System User type with no password ?

Hi there,

Wondering if there's a way to enable a SYSTEM type user on HANA studio. This would be a generic named user that is connected from BOBJ/WEBI BI for reporting info queries but cannot be logged into directly in HANA studio.  Trying to mimic  SAP ECC   where accounts can be  COMMUNICATION or SYSTEM types and cannot be dialog logged into directly.  in studio we have no SSL enabled, or SAML ?  all database users with passwords

Any thoughts appreciated

Hi Dan,

the distinction of dialog and technical user types does not apply to the database level.

To the database like HANA all sessions are similar in the way they process data.

So at least for the time being you cannot create a user can only logon with a specific client tool.

And as long as there are no user groups with different resource management options available in HANA it actually wouldn't make much sense either...

Thank you Lars, i guess was searching for an option to limit the direct login in HANA Studio with a generic system/service user. wanted to keep that isolated to BI  WEBI / universe/

Hi Dan,

You can accomplish that by architecting a proper security model with SSO between BOBJ and HANA.

HANA posses a pretty robust security model that you can implement to secure you data, view models, packages and actions performed on hana, and by using SSO you can apply that security to users when they run the BOBJ content on top of hana with their username.

Keep in mind that at this stage there is still a way to go on that, so for your Reporting Landscape II would suggest to check the supported platform documents for SSO support against HANA from the BOBJ tools. For example, Analysis for Office doesn't support SSO OLAP connections against HANA.

Hope this helps, although I see your post is from February.

Cheers.

Christian.
