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.

 

SSSO and IWA for SAP® Applications, installed on SAP® Web Application Server :

The diagram below shows how the TrustBroker™ Adapter, provides IWA and SSSO for a user, in this case the example user is "Lucy Chan".
