Specifying Authentication for the Application 

Use

To be able to check permissions in the application, you first need to know the user ID for the user being checked. Therefore, you need to specify that authentication is required for the Web Dynpro application.

The Web Dynpro authenticates the user and passes the user’s ID to the EJB methods in the backend over the Web service. For this purpose, it uses the logon ticket mechanism. Therefore, you also need to specify that the Web service requires authentication and that it accepts logon tickets.

To obtain the logon ticket and pass it to the Web service, Web Dynpro uses the Destination service. Therefore, in addition to specifying authentication on the Web Dynpro and on the Web service, you must create an HTTP destination on the AS Java and specify its use within the Web Dynpro application.
