Background documentation Logon Using User ID and Password on the Portal  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

The portal uses the authentication mechanism of the underlying SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java. The portal supports Single Sign-On (SSO) to back-end systems using user ID and password with user mapping.

Caution 

Since the system sends the user's user ID and password across the network, you should use a secure protocol such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for sending data.
