Logon Tickets (SAP Library - Pluggable Authentication Services for External Authentication)

Logon Tickets

So that the system can issue a logon ticket to the user after being authenticated using the external authentication mechanism, your system must meet the following requirements:

One system must be set up as a ticket-issuing SAP system, for example, an SAP system application server, along with its corresponding ITS. This system and any other systems that are to accept logon tickets must also be configured accordingly. For more information, see Configuring the Use of Logon Tickets.

Accepting systems must meet the following release requirements:

Release 4.0x: Release 4.0B kernel, patch level 758 or higher
Release 4.5x: Release 4.5B kernel, patch level 459 or higher
Release 4.6x: Release 4.6D kernel, patch level 74 or higher
All Release 4.x systems: The Workplace Plug-In must be installed.
Release 6.xx: no kernel or patch level requirements

For more information, see SAP Note 177895.

Note

The release requirements for the servers used for the ticket-issuing system depend on the PAS option that you are using. Therefore, see the prerequisites for your specific scenario.

The Web servers used to access the various systems must all reside in the same DNS domain.
The user must have the same user ID in all systems that are to accept logon tickets.
Users must configure their Web browsers to accept session cookies.
