The information mention in that doc is related to sap sso configuration on AS Abap.I configure AS ABAP to use X509 Certificate. After configuration server has no issue and is up and running.

But i am getting error when i am activating sap SNC in SAP Gui.

As per the error i have to setup  snc_lib at pc where sap gui is installed.

Is your issue solved. I read you have to install some security product which helps computer and AS ABAP to communicate?

If it works for you, let me know you made sso to work without installing anything for sapgui using x509 certificate. I know for browser just x509 cert in the computer is sufficient.

User Authentication and Single Sign-On - SAP Library

Prerequisites

•   To enable SAP GUI SSO with client certificates, users must possess valid client certificates. SAP GUI users can receive client certificates from an established Public-Key Infrastructure. 
•   The SAP GUI client computers and the AS ABAP systems must use SAP Single Sign-On or an external security product that enables the creation of a Personal Security Environment (PSE). The use of an external security product is enabled by Secure Network Communications (SNC).

Thanks Manjunath, but still I am not clear. If the user has x509 certificate in their computer, for sapgui to use x509 certificate for sso, is there anything that needs to be installed.

The link you sent too has mentioned about some product. So is some product needed for sapgui sso using x509 cert?

To use SNC for authentication, the product you use must be certified by the SAP Partner Program. For more information, see Secure Network Communications (SNC).
