BEx SSO

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have just enabled SNC for our BW systems. All is good for SSO to BW GUIs but for BEx Applications (Query Designer, Report Designer, etc.) SSO does not work. When I go into a BEx application like Query Designer the SAP logon will come up but when I try to connect using SSO which works for GUI I instead get error u201CMissing SNC_LIB=u2026 in connect_param in RfcOpenExu201D. Sorry SSO is new to me and canu2019t find details on this error. Snc/gssapi_lib is set correctly. I do not get why SAPLogon to BW GUI through SSO works while BEx SAPLogon to BW GUI through SSO doesnu2019t work. Can someone please give me advice?

Thank You,

Alex

Alex,

When you use GUI with SNC, the SNC library is found using default name, e.g. sncgss32.dll. However, when you use BEx, the SNC_LIB environment variable is needed. You need to define this environment variable on each Windows workstation where you have BEx, and want to use SNC authentication.

Thanks,

Tim

Thanks Tim for taking the time to explain to me. I created the variable and all is good.

Much Appreciated.
