Administration for User Authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO) 

There are several user authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO) mechanisms available with SAP NetWeaver. Although most of the tasks involved for each mechanism are primarily configuration tasks, any additional administrative tasks that apply to each mechanism are described in the topics listed below.

·        Administration for User ID and Password Authentication

·        Administration When Using SNC for Single Sign-On

·        Administration When Using X.509 Client Certificates

·        Administration When Using Logon Tickets

·        Administration When Using the Pluggable Authentication Service

Additional authentication mechanisms that are available, but for which there are no administrative activities required, include:

·        Using Header Variables or Integrated Windows Authentication for User Authentication

·        Using SAML Assertions for Single Sign-On

·        Using Anonymous Logon to Access the Portal
