WEB user authentication

We have a requirement for our customer to be able to pay and view bills over the internet. (Via Java stack running biller direct)

For this they will obviously need to authenticate themselves.

What would be the best method, given that there could be potentially more than 10 million customers.

Could we define 10million web users in SU01,

or would be be better off using and LDAP?

The costs however for 10million users on an LDAP are very high.

Fenton,

I dont know anything about biller direct, but you could always consider writing a custom Java login module, in which case you could access wherever you customer details are stored and validate their login instead of having to replicate their login details/security questions etc to LDAP or define them in SU01. You can basically do anything to authenticate your users via Java code, including connecting to external data sources, EP serivices such as the UME service, invoke BAPIs via JCo etc.

Details on doing this can be found here:

You can always decompile the existing login modules, such as the BasicPasswordLoginModule using a decompiler like Cavaj and see how they have been put together.

Cheers,

Steve
