User manual authentication

[Former Member]

Hi erverybody,

I have a questions for the Web Dynpro Guru's you are

I need to write an authentication method for my WD Application.

I know there is the Authentication properties for a Web Dynpro Java but i don't want the user to have one more screen.

I want the user to enter his name in an inputfield then click on a button who authenticate him with this name.

Where can i find some code example or help to do this.

Thanks for your anwers.

Hi Thomas,

WD Application will be usually launched in <b>Enterprise Portal</b>. Portal has provision to <u>configure authentication system to be used</u>. If this is not the case, you can use Database connection code to authenticate users.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Thomas,

Can you please elaborate which kind of authentication system you are trying to use.Based on that we can suggest you.

Well let's say authentication based on the "automatic authentication".

It works with the UME of the WAS i think.

In fact, i was asked to log manually so that the user has only ton enter his name and push on a button. (without enterring a password). I allready use this button to call a bapi which return a list of items base on the name the user enter.

So what the client wants, is to make from one click, double use:

- authenticate this user with username (so that we know who is logged in)

- call the bapi with as input the username.

ps: also other question that's not very clear for me, what about SAP licences if we don't use the authentication =true?? does is then use a default user??

If yes can we use it on multiple device at the same time???

Hi,

If I am not wrong, what you need to do is authenticate user based on his User ID existance in SAP R/3/CRM/BW ..etc. For this functionality of checking user exisatnce can be done in BAPI itself.

Coming to <i>SAP licences</i>, I dont have clear idea.
