When a user calls an external application, his or her logon ticket is passed on to the appropriate application or information system where it is checked to see if it is valid. To work with logon tickets, the external application has to perform three tasks as follows:

...

       1.      The external system has to make sure that a trusted SAP NetWeaver Portal server has issued the ticket.

       2.      The digital signature in the ticket of the portal server needs to be verified. The first two steps require the digital certificate of the issuing portal server.

       3.      If the ticket is valid, the appropriate user ID contained in it has to be extracted.

This verification procedure is standard in SAP systems. For information on how to configure SAP Systems, see Configuring SAP Systems to Accept and Verify Logon Tickets.
