SapNwRfc NW RFC library and SAML

233 Views

We use sapnwrfc NW RFC library version Release 750 Patch Level 9 (latest is patch 12) in C++ on Windows (if that matters) to connect to SAP. We now have requirement to use SAML/ SSO based authentication for connecting to SAP.

  1. Is there any inbuilt support for SAML based authentication in sapnwrfc library. If so how does it work? Any pointers to documentation will be appreciated.
  2. If not, if we can obtain SAML token by some other means (programmatically), is it possible to pass the token as connection parameter to sapnwrfc? The documentation (sapnwrfc.ini sample) indicates “SNC_MYNAME : Token/identifier representing the external RFC program”, not sure if it is referring to some other token or SAML token). This is in addition to specifying SNC_PARTNERNAME and SNC_LIB
