Use

SAP provides two ways for you to develop applications that support SAP Single Sign-On (SSO) logon tickets:

● Programmatically with a dynamic link library

● Web server filters as an extension of a dynamic link library

SAP has increased the capabilities of the library SAPSSSOEXT, obsolescing the Java and C ticket verification libraries. The Web server filters are extensions of SAPSSOEXT. SAP has also extended the Web servers supported by the filters.

Effects on Customizing

The change effects supported ticket verification libraries and Web server filter support.

Ticket Verification Library Support

The dynamic link library SAPSSOEXT has rendered the following libraries obsolete:

● Java ticket verification library

● C ticket verification library

If you encounter a problem while using one of the obsolete libraries, upgrade your application to use the SAPSSOEXT library.
