Portal logon to WAS BSP

[Former Member]

Hello,

Portal authenticates users via SAP BW-SEM-BSC WAS6.2 with logonticket.

User logon to portal with their SAP UserId & password, then access the BW-SEM-BSC, BSP based content, directly

(which is the same SAP UME reference system), BUT the iview challanges again for userId and password.

Ive created a BSP based iview, based on the SAP BW-SEM predefined Alias.

I'm passing the sap-user and sap-password and sap-client parameters to the SAP WAS 6.2 server,

it still challanges with user id and password.

eg:

http://batsfpm1.btc.com.bh:8000/sap(=encryption=)/bc/bsp/sap/sem_bsc/start.htm?sap-user=ia404&sap-pa...

How can I avoid the second UserId challange?

Also, How can I pass the userID and password to the iview automatically?

Why not user proper SSO rather than pass userID and pass through the parameters ?

Thanks Dimitar,

I'll use SSO, bear with me as I don't have the documentation for this. For BSP properties;

For Authentication Scheme= Default Authentication,

and for Content-BSP Category all blank, except:

BSP Definition Type=BSPAlias,

BSP Alias=SEM

Start Page= the url posted earlier

System=SEM

I'm sure I'm missing something.

Thank you,

AAAttar

Hi,

For start page r u giving the full URL?

Try with

start.htm?sap-user=ia404&sap-password=portal&sap-client=601

i havent tried it yet. i will also try and let you know.

Also check in your SICF tree whether your BSP application's "logon required" check box is checked.

Raja

Dimitar,

Using SSO, do you recommend BasicAuthentication?

and, given the alias and start page info, what are the other values needed for Content-BSP attributes?

SICF is a transaction is SAP / ABAP engine.

You will find all BSP application under sap/bc/bsp/sap

Regarding SSO , search SDN content , i remeber to have seen a document explaining how to set up SSO.

Raja, I appriciate further help, I could not found usefull documentation in this regard.

The portal is issuing the cookie, but the BW-SEM requires a second logon. Though I've set all parameters according to instruction below:

In that only other thing which i can think of is

portal home page url.

What was the address you typed in to log on to portal

http://server/irj

of

http://server.domain.com/irj

if its the first case then you will be facing the problem of second logon.

use the second method.

Do let us know whether it has solved your issue.

Are you still using the method of passing username/password in URL or SSO is enabled?

Alternatively you can also try setting the username password in the BSP application itself (SICF).

Regards

Raja
