Is Single Sign-On supported for SAP Web Application Server? 

Answer

Yes!

SSO

Yes, Single Sign-On (SSO) or SSO2 is supported for SAP Web Application Server.

SAP supports different processes for providing an SSO environment. The use of logon tickets is in the foreground. For this procedure, tickets are issued by an issuing server and are accepted by the other servers in your system landscape.

Configuring the Use of Logon Tickets

A prerequisite for this is that SSO is configured for your SAP System. This configuration specifies, among other things, that SSP tickets are both generated and accepted. Make the configuration using the profile parameters:

·        login/create_sso2_ticket = 1 (on the server that issues the tickets)

·        login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1 (on the servers that accept the tickets)

To be able to accept logon tickets from other servers, execute Transaction SSO2, which you can use to activate the use of the logon tickets.

The application’s own logon tickets are accepted without the need for any further settings.

Logon Ticket Cache

To increase performance with multiple logons, you can use the logon ticket cache. For more information, see Logon Ticket Cache.
