Issue with iFrame UI Element - asking logon credentials , Please help!!

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using an Iframe UI element in my WebDynPro.

The source of the iFrame is a url of a BSP application existing in the same package.

but, when the window loads, the iFrame part ask me for user credentials although I am in the same R/3 system.

Peculiar thing is , it is not asking me this in the development system , but in the acceptance system.

Please help!!

Best Regards

Sid

Well first of all it is important to note that the iFrame UI element is depricated and should not be used:

[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/15/c07941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/15/c07941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]

The iFrame is basically the browser making another client request to the secondary application. This means there is no session sharing, no session management and no automatic Single Sign On. You must configure some other form of SSO otherwise the BSP application in your case will prompt for logon. I am guessing, but I assume that you have basic logon tickets configured on Development, but not on QAS. QAS is probably only using Basic Authentication. So on Dev, the BSP application is able to reuse the System Logon Ticket.

But this is all a bit of a moot point since you aren't supposed to use the iFrame at all. The recommended replacement solution is to use the NetWeaver Portal and to have separate iViews within the same Page.
