User Management and Authentication

Use

SAP BW (BW) uses the user management and user authentication mechanisms of the SAP NetWeaver platform, especially the mechanisms in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP and Java. For this reason, the security recommendations and guidelines for user management and authentication contained in the SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP Security Guide and the SAP NetWeaver Application Server for Java Security Guide are also valid for BW. In addition to these guidlines, the following sections also provide you with specifically BW-related information about user management and authentication.
