Kerberos GSS-API library for UNIX (running SAP)

[Gokul, Polasani]

Hi MIT Team,

 

I am with the SAP Basis Team at SABIC(Saudi Arabia - A Leading
Petrochemical Company), and we are looking to implement SAP's SNC
solution between SAP servers, and even within a Single Sign On solution
for our end users (integrating with SAP GUI).  I have seen some
literature which indicates that this is available for SAP systems which
run on Win2K. 

However, one mentioned the following, which indicated that we may be
able to obtain a GSS-API library for UNIX (HP-UX) hosts:

 

To use SSO with application servers on Unix and Windows 2000 front ends
with gsskrb5.dll, you might have to purchase a Kerberos implementation
for the Unix machine(s).

 

Do you know if and/or where this is available for AIX/HP-UX?  

Additionally, any standard documentation you have related to the
kerberos GSS-API library and it's compatibility with SAP would be
appreciated.  Please advise.

 

We are on SAP 4.6C / AIX 5.2.

We would be upgrading to SAP- ECC 6.0 either on HP or AIX platform.

Hence we are looking for SAP-SSO solution via SAPGUI.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks,

Gokul.
