SSO in JCO

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am interested in finding a single sign on method for use with SAP JCO. Has anyone had experience with this, specifically with SAP Logon Tickets?

Thanks,

Hi Tom

You need to get the logon ticket in the form of cookies.

Then use "$MYSAPSSO2$" as the user name and the cookies as password to initiate the login.

So it would be like this:

[code]

// Create a client connection to a dedicated R/3 system

JCO.Client jcoClient = JCO.createClient(

client_number, //name

"$MYSAPSSO2$", //userid

theloginticket, //password

"EN", //language

HOST_NAME,

SYSTEM_NUMBER);

[/code]

Hi Xueqing

Any idea of how to get the logon ticket in the form of cookies. I am using tomcat as the web/app server and my backend systems are SAP R/3 and SAP BW.

Appreciate if you can advice.

Regards.

Check out the following link (which includes sample code):

Hi Mike

I guess the way to get the logon ticket in the form of cookies depends on which type of applications you are using.

The project I worked on was a BSP application. Once I setup the SSO settings in the backend system, the SSO cookie was automatically passed in the HTTP header.

Are you using portal or something else?

I can give you the steps to setup the backend systems if you need. For portal apps, I am not sure if these steps are still applicable. ( I have't done anything portal related yet).

Hi Xueqing

Greetings!

I am neither using the SAP Enterprise portal nor SAP WAS. I am using other J2EE App server, and I would require to get the SSO Ticket using JCO. Please let me know what are the steps that I need to perform on the backend Systems ( SAP R/3 and SAP BW).

Hi Mike

Sorry for the late response. I was tied up with other stuff.

That's what I have done to use SSO.

For cFolders, once I setup SSO with SAP WebAS, the cookie was automatically created for the BSP. An applet was implemented to grab the cookis and pass it to a servlet, which was running on a J2EE Engine(Tomcat, WebLogic, etc).

The Servlet reused the cookie to make a connection to SAP backend system.

I don't know which client you are going to use to start your application, from SAPGUI or something else?

I think the key is to how to grab the cookie.

Let me know if you want to know the steps to configure SSO with SAP system.
