configuring single sign-on between EP 6.0 and SRM 4.0/EBP 5.0

[Former Member]

I am currently on a portal implementation project, and I need to configure single sign-on between the portal and the SRM server running live auction cockpit via ITS. I have gone through some documentation from sap.help, but i'd appreciate if anyone can give me o a document that describes the procedures for single sign-on between these systems, i have a tight deadline to meet.

thanks.

Hello,

I cant speak to SRM specifically, but I assume it's just like any other SAP backend system. In that case,

Within the SRM System:

1) Install the latest EP Plugin

2) Import the portal's verify.der certificate via transaction STRUSTSSO2

3) Set the profile parameters via RZ10 in the instance profile

login/password_change_for_SSO 0

login/accept_sso2_ticket 1

login/create_sso2_ticket 0

In the ITS System in your global.srvc file add the parameter:

~mysapcomusesso2cookie 1

After this, restart the SRM and ITS systems and you should be good to go.

HOpe this helps,

Hello Marty,

Thanks a lot, your response was very helpful. However, I checked the SAP Service Marketplace for available plug-ins, and foind this list:

WP-PI 600_31I

WP-PI 600_40B

WP-PI 600_45B

WP-PI 600_46A

WP-PI 600_46B

WP-PI 600_46C

WP-PI 600_46D

WP-PI 600_610

WP-PI 600_620

I have EP 6.0, and the SRM Server is running on WebAS 6.40

is it still necessary to instal a plug-in?

Secondly, when I have completed the configuration tasks, how do I test the SSO already configured?

Thanks.

Hello,

I dont think you need a plugin for WAS 6.40 but if you needed any plugin, it would be the WP-PI 620.

To test the configuration, when you're editing the System in the portal, in the upper right drop down there is an option for Test Connection. That will tell you if you have your connection working correctly (or you can just create a transaction iview).

Don't forget that the id's need to be the same in both systems unless you're doing user mapping. Also, if you're using ITS dont forget to fill in the connection parameters for this under the System config (or if you're using the WAS to serve content fill in that option).

Hope this helps,

Hello Marty,

Thanks a lot.

I tested the connection after making the adjustin the parameters, however, I receved an OK for the ITS test but the Connection test to the Backend system failed.

I tried the tests with SAPLOGONTICKET as well as UIDPWD Logon Methods and got the same results.

I created a transaction iview but it returned with an error message.

What do you think I should do now, this SSO must work.

Thank you in advance.
