SNC Client Encryption is designed to enable secure communication between the client and SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) ABAP. It is not designed to provide a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution. There is currently no technical hinderance to prevent someone from entering the SNC name used to secure the communication between a client and server into the SNC name field of of User Maintenance (transaction SU01). This is, however, a violation of the license agreement.
