User Authentication in WDA

Former Member

Hi everyone,

When developing applications in WDA there is an automatic popup asking for login parameters when a WDA component is triggered. Can this popup be configured everytime the WDA component is called? Because for me it seems that it's only called during the first time. Then subsequent calls are already understood to be the same user.

I need to be able to ensure that the user authentication will always happen as I am creating WDA applications for the ESS.

I will be deploying the WDA application on SAP EP. Is it possible for SAP EP to automatically sign me into the SAP Web AS ABAP via single sign on? I know this is possible(I just want to be sure that it indeed is), I just don't know how.

Also in ALL of my WDA components I'm calling function HR_GETEMPLOYEEDATA_FROMUSER to map a SAP user id to an employee. Is this the right thing to do or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks guys! Generous points will be awarded!

you need to configure a trust relationship between the Portal server and the ABAP system that holds your WDA application (note: if you are using ESS, this may have already been done). More info can be found here:

if your portal userids are different than your ABAP userids, perform user mapping as per the link below:

then create a Portal iView that points to your WDA application as per the link below:

voila!
