maintenance of login data

46 Views

Hi

We are developing a web application in BSP that retrieves information from backend SAP R/3 system. Say for example, one or more users from a customer (Sold-to) can log into this application and check the status of their shipments.

I am trying to build a log in screen and struggling with some design decisions as to what is the best way to assign user ids, maitain userids, etc. We plan to use "user email id and password" for authentication for log in.

1. Should we maitain users in an external database for authentication (in which we will need to download customer data into this database from R/3 on a periodic basis)

2. What is the standard/good practice in this case?

I look forward to your suggestions.
