Kerberos SSO with SAP ERP (AIX) and SAP GUI

[Labiner]

Hi Rick,

SAP does not officialy offer gss-api libraries to systems other then
Windows. There was a product call BC SNC adapter, but it's
discontinued and not supported by SAP for production systems.
There is a somewhat dated guide in the group about how to configure it
on Linux and AIX 5.2 env., using the MIT kerberos module source.
For a solid and supported solution, you should check the SAP certified
verndor list for licensed SNC providers:
http://www.sap.com/partners/directories/SearchSolution.epx
Certification Category: "Secure Network Communications"

The solution Tim is reffering to, is indeed SAP certified.

But depending on your implementation scenario and the user's main
access point: you might want to think about implementing SSO via SAP
Enterprise Portal. This is a very robust solution that requires no
additional software license.

Best Regards,

We would like to be able to authenticate from our desktop via ADS and then click on aSAPsystem from theSAPLogin Pad and achieve SSO into that application server running on AIX.
