Hello Rohit,

a Ruby Application can be included into the Portal like any other external application using an URL-iView. If you have to logon to a ABAP Backend system in your Ruby Application you can try to use Logon Tickets as I've used in my Blog: <a href="/people/gregor.wolf3/blog/2006/09/30/single-sign-on-with-external-id-implemented-in-ruby Sign On with External ID implemented in Ruby</a>. You only need the part starting with Variable "rfc2". The ticket is a cookie sent by the client Browser if you are using the same subdomain.

Regards

Gregor
