Hi Experts,
I have configured completed following configurations:
1.SAP NW SSO 1.0 SP4 with Basic Password authentication.
2. SAP ABAP server : SNC has been enabled with SAPCRYTOLIB.dll
3.SAP GUI has been configured to use SNC with Single Sign On feature active.
With above configuration, the login/logout process works successfully with X.509v3 certificates. After authenticating with SAP NW SSO server, I get X.509v3 cert and this cert is used to achieve SSO to SAP ABAP server
I have planned to create a back up authentication mechanism i.e without X.509v3 certificates. I have checked/selected the following option on SAP GUI:
"SNC logon with userid/password (no Single Sign on)"
Expected Result:
When I try to access SAP ABAP server with the above mentioned option selected, I should be directly pormpted to enter my userid/password on SAP GUI screen. The channel between SAP ABAP and SAP GUI should be encrypted with SNC.
Actual Result with SAP GUI 7.2 :
When I try to access SAP ABAP server using SAP GUI, Secure Login Client (SLC) prompts me to enter userid/password. Until I enter vaild userid/password, SLC never allows me to access SAP ABAP log on screen.
Comments:
I believe SAP GUI is behaving incorrectly. When the option is selected, it should directly take me to SAP ABAP logon screen rather than prompting me to enter password on SLC.
Experts, please let me know if SNC can be used even without using SLS-SLC modules. I want to use SAP ABAP userid/password as backup authentication mechanism in our project.
Thanks,
Anuj
