Authentication help

[Former Member]

Hi

In our project we are trying we have 2 EP boxes. Following are the details of the boxes

1. EP6.0 (NW04), All our current applications are running here, also NTLM and LDAP is installed and configured for this box

2. EP7.0 (NW04s), CRM 5.0 is also running in this environment.

We are planning to access the EP 7.0 CRM PCUI content from EP 6.0 system through global portal mechanism.

The question here is do I need to do the NTLM and LDAP configuration in my EP 7.0 box for authentication and authorization or else the authorization and authentication defined in the EP 6.0 box will suffice.

Any help in this is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

First a quick disclaimer, I have yet to work with global portal and do not know how well it works between NW04 and NW04s (wouldn't believe it is 100% as it is dependent on WSRP features of NW04s).

The EP7 system should not need to have NTLM setup as long as it can trust and read the SAP logon ticket from the EP6 portal (haven't done this on a java system, only abap, but must be possible). When this ticket is read it only extracts the username. This means that the EP7 portal must be connect to the same LDAP (or a replicated LDAP with same userids) as the EP6 portal.

Hi Dagfinn

Thanks for the information. From the earlier documentation whatever I have read it talks about WSRP features is supported by NW04. Anyways I am going to give a try.

But if this is not the option is there any other method to pick up the content from EP7.0 system and show it in EP6.0 system.

The other question is how is that I can make EP7.0 trust the connection from Ep6.0 system.

Thanks
