Enabling user authentication propagation for web services using custom processor.
Context
You can now enable end-to-end user authentication propagation for web services (which
are exposed as OData services). Two authentication types can be enabled, basic and
SSO2. To achieve this, add the custom code in the custom processor as given in the
procedure below.
Note When you are enabling SSO2 authentication for a web service
from SAP back-end system, use MYSAPSSO2
token.
PrerequisiteFor SSO2 authentication type,
you must encrypt the communication channel between the back-end and SAP Mobile
Platform Server for security reasons before configuring a security profile. This
is achieved by uploading SSO certificate of the back-end system in the SAP
Mobile Platform Server and vice versa.
