VPN(virtual Protocal Network) is used to access the SAP system remotely

Say actual system is somewhere and from somewhere like from your house you have to work on that system by doing some urgent development

in that case you will logon to the system using VPN and connect to that system and work

Networking people will configure it and will give you some user Id and password for this VPN connection and with that you have to logon after little configuration on your system.

good

Short for virtual private network, a network that is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For example, there are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

thanks

As far as I know, SAP only provides support when running SBO trough Terminal Server or Citrix. VPN (Virtual Private Network) is not endorsed by SAP.

But, with a good bandwith, I can run SBO (2004 and 2005) without problems. But, only running for test, because, again, SAP does not provides support when running with VPN.

Hi,

Actually, to connect VPN(Virtual private netwrork), client software e.g. Symantec should be installed on pc from which u want to login. In that software we should give authetication which will be verified by VPN server which in turn will connect to SAP/other server.

VPN uid and SAP uids are different.

VPN is generally used for secure private networking.0

Hope this will help
