SSO between SAP EP and JAVA app on WebSphere Application Server 5.1

[Former Member]

Hi. I have 2 questions.

I am implementing SAP EP6 and need to display content from a WebSphere JAVA application inside the portal. The application is currently running on WAS 5.1.

1. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when inside the portal?

2. Does anyone have any sample code or documentation regarding how to pass the SAP logon ticket to WebSphere JAVA application to accomplish SSO when outside the SAP EP, but still within the same IE browser window where the SAP logon ticket exists?

Thanks for any feedback you could provide.

Hello Kevin,

please look here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/nw/ibm/how to set up sso between sap enterprise portal and ibm websphere portal using tai.pdf

Regarding your second questions: as long as you did not log off from SAP EP your browser hosts the SAP Logon Ticket cookie (within its timeframe of validity which is typically a couple of hours). So if you access a non SAP application that accepts SAP logon ticket with your browser, you're authenticated.

Please note that the cookie based authentication only works withing the same DNS domain. So if your SAP EP is configured to issues the SAP logon ticket to "company.com" then your browser sends it only to servers in that domain.

Regards

Michael
