SSO between SAP systems - How to configure AS JAVA as Identity Provider?

[sajithr]

Dear Experts,

We want to configure SSO between our Netwear AS ABAP, HANA DBs and AS JAVA. We prefer not use AD for any configuration so that Identity Provider and Service Provider all be SAP systems. Can a single system act as both Identity Provider and Service Provider?

If two systems are needed then, how it should be done with SAML? Any guides / how tos are much appreciated.

Thanks you in advance.

Hi Jones,

If I am not mistaken, it is IDM FEDERATION 7.2, right? But I really want to know are the steps involve in configuring portal as Identity Provider. The guide is bit wage and is on very high level. Can you tell me the essential steps. Preferablly with screenshots please.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Sajith,

Install IDP and SSO component on your JAVA system to make java support as identity provide. You can configure the rest of the system as Service provider (FIORI, ERP, and solution manager).

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the response. I actually went through the documentation but it is really confusing for a first time user who is trying to configure IDM in Portal.

Having Admin access to the Portal when going to configure IDM with SAML 2.0 it is confusing which way to proceed as per guide. Therefore, do you know any guide with screenshots which illustrate more clearly on how to configure SSO or rather IDM in AS JAVA portal. That will be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi there,

You could use SAP IDM. Please take a look at the IDM documentation Page, there is information on IDM and how to implement SSO / Federation / Identity Provider.
