RFC destination for LogOn Ticket

[Joseph_BERTHE]

Hi,

My question is about the web dynpro authentication via logon ticket.

I have a WD application which has its sap.authentication set to true. My application calls some BAPIs with RFC connection, using a generic user no-dialog via JCO.

<b>How can I specify to my connection, that the user who wants execute such a BAPI is not the generic one but a specific user with specific permissions (the user of my logon ticket)?</b>

I have found out a tutorial which is about the logon ticket for WebServices application : <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/e8e95d1eba48dfa86ae91ad8816f5d/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/e8e95d1eba48dfa86ae91ad8816f5d/content.htm</a>

but it doesn't fit my request. Actually, my model is a RFC model, so I can't have access to the methodes

myModel._setHTTPDestinationName(<namedest>)

Thanks

berthe,

Run WebDynpro Content Administrator (http://host:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc_wdtools/Explorer), select necessary JCo destination in "Maintain JCo Destinations" section and, edit it and at step "Security" set "Used Method" to "Ticket". All the rest will be handled by Adaptive RFC / JCo.

Hi Valery,

I didn't realise it was so simple... then very big thanks.

Now I have an other question related to this, how should I configurate my WAS ? do I need to create HTTP Destination (in my J2EE Engine) or a RFC Destination, or should I make nothing (all is automatic)?

berthe,

If you setup SSO between WebAS and R/3 correctly, then all magic happens automatically. Otherwise (invalid SSO setup) you will see errors about ticket verification.

Footnote: ticket authentication is recomended for <b>data</b> destination, <b>meta</b> destination typically uses predefinded user.

berthe,

Just read the following:

I have a WD application which has its sap.authentication set to true. My application calls some BAPIs with RFC connection, using a generic user no-dialog <b>via JCO</b>.

If you are not using Adaptive RFC Model but rather plain JCo, then in addition to my previous words obtain connection in a way suggested by Satyajit Chakraborty:

 

JCO.Client client = null;
try
{
  final IWDJCOClientConnection conn 
    =  WDSystemLandscape.getJCOClientConnection("NAME_USED_IN_WD_CONTENT_ADMINISTRATOR");
  client = conn.getClient();
}
catch(final WDSystemLandscapeException e)
{
  /* error handling */
}

Again, here SSO ticket will be applied automatically.
