Hi experts,

Victor,

Yes, this is possible and very common.

It is implemented using an interface known as SNC (Secure Network Communications) that is available in SAP ABAP and SAP GUI. You need an SNC library that supports Kerberos, and if you are running SAP ABAP on UNIX you need to get this SNC library from a SAP partner, so there will be additional cost considerations. If your SAP ABAP system is on Windows, then you have the option to use an SNC library from SAP which has basic SSO functionality. Some of the SAP partners provide more than SSO. I work for one of the SAP partners which I am describing.

Also, if you search in this forum for SNC Kerberos keywords you will find many references to this subject.

Thanks,

Tim
