SSO Client: Profile selection dialog

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

after installing the SSO client for the first time, we have intermittently noticed a profile selection dialog popping up when a user tries to connect to an SNC-enabled SAP system using SAP GUI. The dialog asks the user to select a profile (in our case we have two SLS profiles). The selection is then remembered from that point going forward, same as if the user would make the selection in the client directly (via right-click).

The question is what exactly triggers that dialog from appearing since we have not been able to reproduce it - even if no profile is selected as "use for secure login".

Is there a registry key maybe that we're missing? We played around with allowFavorite, but that didn't help.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Please check your reg configuration parameter "GssTargetName" next to "allowFavorite". If the value is "*", you will have this issue.

If you configure the right server DName (without p:) you won't have this issue.

This configuration exists since SLC 2.0 SP03 PL02. See the related note 2067284 - SAP SSO Fixes for Secure Login Client 2.0 SP 03 Patch 02, the 1. issue.

Hi Valerie,

I read SAP Note 2067284 and I understand the problem and fix (I think). My customer is on the latest version however we do not see the mentioned pop-up at all but we would like to see it at least once (after a fresh install):

Each time the user connects to a server, the user is prompted by a pop-up window to select a certificate/profile. The selected certificate/profile is not remembered after a successful login and the user will be prompted again, when he tries to connect to the same server.

So the part in bold above is what we're interested in, but it does not show at all, not even once.

Makes sense?

Thanks

Hi Michael,

If your customer want to have this prompted once before the first use, the configuration should look as follow:

All GSSTargertName=* and  allwoFavorite=1.

And in Secure Login Client UI the option  „Use Profile for SAP Applications“ should be selected for one SLS profile.

Hi Valerie,

unfortunately that doesn't work as we have demonstrated yesterday to Christian Cohrs on-site at the customer. Could this be a bug or is there maybe another setting that could conflict?

Thanks
