Single Sign-On Requirements on Mobile

Learn how to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) for the mobile app.

iOS SSO
There are currently three ways for the mobile app to support SSO on iOS:
  • The mobile app supports SSO using a MDM push-based certificate for logging on to SAP Analytics Cloud. For SSO to live data sources in your stories, individual users can manually import certificates to a device. For detailed information on how to configure this method, see Certificate-Based Authentication for Mobile.
  • You can also set up SSO using the SAP Cloud Connector to propagate credentials through the system once trust is established between your SAP Analytics Cloud system and your live data source. For more information on this SSO method, see SAP Cloud Connector-based Mobile Single Sign-On.
  • Using a customized token for SSO to connected live data sources. Specific endpoints need to be established to configure this SSO method. For more information, see Token-based Single Sign On to Live Data Sources.
    Note
    The customized-token SSO option will soon be deprecated.
Android SSO
There are currently two ways for the Android mobile app to support SSO:
  • You can SSO by using X509 user certificates for logging on to SAP Analytics Cloud. These certificates need to pushed to the device by either using an MDM profile, or they can be installed manually on the device. For detailed information on how to configure this method, see Certificate-Based Authentication for Mobile.
  • You can also set up SSO using the SAP Cloud Connector to propagate credentials through the system once trust is established between your SAP Analytics Cloud system and your live data source. For more information on this SSO method, see SAP Cloud Connector-based Mobile Single Sign-On.
