Solutions • TrustBroker™ • SAP® NetWeaver® and SAP® Web AS
If you have SAP® R/3 and/or SAP® NetWeaver® Web Application Servers deployed in your network, and would like one, or more of the following :
Improved SAP® system, and network security;
A solution which allows IWA and SSSO for users logging onto :
SAP® Enterprise Portal;
SAP® Applications via a Web browser, and hosted on SAP® Web Application Server;
SAP® Applications implemented as services in the Integrated ITS (e.g. webgui on SAP® NetWeaver® 2004);
A SAP® Certified, and Powered by SAP® NetWeaver® JAAS Login Module, which uses SPNEGO, GSS-API and Kerberos for user IWA and SSSO;
A replacement for the SAP® IIS Proxy product, which is being widthdrawn by SAP® AG in January 2006;
Avoid transmission of passwords across the network between SAP® Application components, or during a user logon session;
Allow user authentication to use a method of authentication stronger than a user account name and password (e.g. using a smart card, or two-factor token device);
Support for fall-back authentication, so that when accessing SAP® Applications via a Web browser, and IWA is not possible (e.g. when user is unable to logon to their Workstation using a Microsoft Active Directory Domain user account) an alternative logon method can be implemented. The fall-back method can ask the user to logon using their Microsoft Active Directory Domain user account name and password, but via the browser instead of during their initial Workstation logon;
Allow user mapping, so that an authenticated identity can be mapped onto a SAP® User ID;
Centralised user password policy management, and common authentication;
A strategic authentication solution, which is complementary when used with other SAP® security products, e.g. When used with a SAP® user provisioning product, and/or when SAP® Web Application Server has been configured to use Microsoft Active Directory as a user store.
Then, this is the security solution you need. More details are provided below :

SAP® Web Application Server and JAAS Login Modules
The JAAS Login Module, provided with the TrustBroker Adapter product, implements IWA so that users can logon to their Workstation, then use their Web browser to access a SAP® Web Application Server hosted application without having to re-authenticate. The support for IWA, included in Microsoft IE and Mozilla Firefox browsers is utilised by the Login Module to authenticate the user.
Once authenticated, a SAP® SSO2 Logon Ticket is issued, which is then used by the SAP® Application Servers to determine the users authenticated identity.
