Custom Login in 7.1

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are trying to create a custom login module for our web application, which authenticates the user against an external database, using the jaas framework (j_security,etc).

All the tutorials seem to be for older versions, and as such dont seem to match up with anything i have in the CE or the server.

Can this be done in SAP 7.1, and if so, is there a tutorial for this new version?

Regards,

Andrew

Thanks Vladimir,

I have followed the tutorial right through, but dont seem to be getting prompted.

Is there anything else that should be added to the applications web.xml, or is this all handled by SAP AS?

Regards,

Andrew

The link provided is on how to create and register a login module. You also need to reference it from your web application. The entire process is described one step up in the documentation: [Using Login Modules to Protect Web Applications|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/c2/68560636e84b4baed62fad3d97e28e/frameset.htm].

HTH!
