How to obtain the SAP Logon ticket from SAML token

[former_member1297295]

Hello Experts,

We are trying to implement SSO authentication for Workmanager 6.2. Since our client doesn't have SAP portal in their landscape, they want us to implement it using their existing SSO provided by Microsoft ADFS. They have implemented the same for their Fiori apps. However, Fiori apps works with HTTP and Workmanager does with RFC connections. Since RFCc don't accept SAML token, is there a way we can achieve this.

Thanks in advance

Hi Shobha,

can you provide more details. We have implemented authentication when user details are stored in MS ADFS but the customer had SAP Enterprise Portal which returned SAP SSO Token.

Hi Murali,

Thanks for your response. According to what SAP suggests, if we are having an enterprise portal, then connecting to the same using JAAS will retrieve us the credentials for RFC log on. However, the SAP Enterprise portals are to be decommissioned in the current system landscape. So, we can not use that. So, if we will receive the SAML token from the client's ADFS, how exactly we can authenticate the user for RFC log on?

Hi Shobha,

  As you rightly mentioned SAML is not supported with RFC/SAP GUI. AFAIK below are the authentication mechanisms supported for Agentry Applications (client authentication) in SMP 3.0

1. Basic Authentication (below are the possible authentication providers)

     a. http/https authentication

     b. Directory Service LDAP/AD

     c. No Authentication Challenge

2. Network Edge token based SSO (below are the possible authentication providers)

     a. Populate JAAS Subject from Client

     b. http/https authentication

3. SSO mechanism only basic authentication is supported

4. Kerberos SSO Any authentication provider (need to confirm I have not tried it)

I would also like to take inputs from (@bill can you please provide some comments and correct me if I am wrong and help Shobha)
