Publishing to the Portal
When publishing to the portal in BEx Web Application Designer, the portal roles assigned to the user and the personal folders in Knowledge Management are displayed.
To get this personalized information from the portal in BEx Web Application Designer, the user in the BW system has to be assigned a user in the portal. Assignment is not necessary if the technical user name in the portal and in BW are identical. After assignment, the portal user has to be authenticated. Authentication takes place using the BW ticket that BEx Web Application Designer receives during explicit logon. The portal requires the BW certificate to validate the BW tickets.
