Using SAML in Portal to Authenticate with 3d party website

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Community,

We are running a website where users need to be authenticated from the Portal.

Scenario:

User logs in into SAP portal via SAML Authentication. This user can view a link in the Portal he can click the link and will be transferred to a website on another domain. This domain will receive the a "ticket" and the user will be able to login.

Information from a friend:

If you have a setup that uses SAML, there are mechanisms to transfer that session between domains that basically rely on passing a ticket through the URL to the client from the authentication server, and that ticket is then passed to the site you want to authenticate against, which can use that to establish the identity of the user with the authentication server and establish the session.

Question:

Is this possible in SAP, if so can anyone provide me some documentation for this?

Kind regards,
Vincent
