Using Single Sign-On for Web
Services
Use
You can configure your Web Services (WS) to use the Single Sign-On (SSO) mechanism.
SSO allows users to authenticate themselves once, and then log on to all of those systems that operate in the SSO environment without further intervention.
Currently SSO is supported only with SAP logon tickets.
..
Procedure
1. Configure the SAP system to accept SAP logon tickets.
For more
information, see
