Principal Propagation / SAP Assertion Ticket

[udo_martens]

Hi Experts,

i m planning a synchronous scenario

3rd party (SOAP) -> PI -> SAP ECC (RFC)

PI is on 7.1, ECC on 7.00

I would like to run Principal Propagation. At the moment i m struggling with Assertion Ticket to be issued by the SOAP sender. From [SAP Help: Princ Prop / Configuring the Sender|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/45/3418a0eabe072fe10000000a155369/content.htm]: "The SOAP client itself must be able to issue SAP assertion tickets."

- Does that mean: if the sender is a non SAP system Principle Propagation cannot be implemented?

- Or is there a way to issue the SAP assertion ticket from 3rd party SOAP sender?

- If yes, how does that work?

I found two interesting threads:

[Principal Propagation SOAP - XI - RFC Scenario |]:

I do not understand Swarups answer 100%. He wrote: "Here you need not have to do anything on SOAP sender side to create the assertion ticket.The assertion ticket is required on SAP side which will act as Web AS ABAP Server"

Can anybody illuminate that? Is he right?

[Issuing SAP assertion Tickets |]: The last post of Anthony stayed unansered, unfortunately. "How does the sender system do that? Is it somethign embedded in the header of the SOAP message? This really is unclear to me"

Thanks for your help,

Hi Udo,

I would really appreciate the fact if you could help me with any documentation or suggestion as how did you achieve this. I am struggling with this as of now.

Hi Udo.

Were you able to get principal propagation working for your SOAP Sender to RFC receiver scenario? I'm facing a similar request, and I'm not finding very much useful documentation. Any best practices/lessons learned you have gained would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Udo,

> - Does that mean: if the sender is a non SAP system Principle Propagation cannot be implemented?

Principle propagation supports XI, SOAP and RFC adapters.

Before using the principle propagation you have to active the configuration, but you can only activate the configuration if you have kernel patch 149 installed.
