Before You Start

SAP NetWeaver Voice is a development and runtime environment for creating and deploying voice applications. These applications allow users to access SAP or non-SAP solutions over a telephone. The voice applications are created using the interactive modeling capabilities of Visual Composer. The output of an SAP NetWeaver Voice application can be rendered on a VoiceXML-compliant third-party voice gateway.

Voice applications are modeled using Visual Composer. To implement security, you must implement the security framework provided by SAP NetWeaver.

Underlying Security Guides

SAP NetWeaver Voice is based on the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS) and the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. It rests on the security framework provided by the Application Server for user management, authentication, authorization, monitoring, tracing, and logging. Therefore, we recommend that you make yourself familiar with the following security guides that cover the general security recommendations:
