Role Based Security Layer with a Portal

24 Views

We have a Netweaver 04 Portal with ESS and MSS. Because it was decided that it would be necessary for Managers to have a different Portal password to their LAN password, we could not use SSO to the Portal and so used an ABAP data source for authentication to the Portal.

My question is, can anyone suggest a method so that managers have to "login" to the MSS role with a separate password to their portal password? In this way we could set up SSO to the Portal but still have a separate security layer for the MSS role.

One very clunky way that was suggested to me was to disable SSO for ITS for all MSS iViews so that selecting any MSS iView would require logging in to the R/3 back end system. However, this is too clunky to be worth implementing.
