IBP Excel Add-in Web Authorization (User/Password)...

HaAr · ‎2021 Nov 17

Hi SAP Forum members,

is it's possible in Excel Add-In to use also User/Password logon instead of Single Sign On (SSO) if SSO is active?
If I start Excel and click to the IBP Logon Button, my Excel use automatically the SSO process for authentication to IBP System.
I have a Test User to test new roles / role changes or some End User issues, reported by our Ticket System.
I can't logon in Excel Add-In with User/Password. Always the Add-In use the SSO authentification process / workflow.

If I deactivate the "SAML-Based Connection" I received a PopUp "EPM General error" :
<html><head><meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" /><meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" /></head><body onload="javascript:var url=window.location.hash;if(url&&(0!==url.length)){document.cookie="oucfarwteqcovcctoredcozrfwowwtfwxvwbqes_anchor="+escape(url)+"; path=/; secure; samesite=none"}document.forms[0].submit()"><noscript><p><strong>Note:</strong> Since your browser does notsupport JavaScript, you must press the Continuebutton once to</p></noscript><form method="POST" action="https://xxxxx.accounts.ondemand.com/saml2/idp/sso/xxxxx.accounts.ondemand.com"><input type="hidden" name="SAMLRequest"

If I logon with Private Mode in Browser with this user (eMail and Password) it works fine.Anyone a Idea and can help me?

Thanks a lot

Armin

P.S.: Excel Add-In Version 2008.3

Hello arminhaders

In the excel addin it is possible to login with SSO and with username and password as well. Presently I am engaged in multiple IBP implementation, where some of them are SSO based while others manul logging using username and passowrd. But if you organization has enabled SSO login for the IBP tenant, then you wont be able to login to that tenant with manual user and password.

So if you have created a new test user to test and some roles, then you should use the SSO login for the test user as well, which means that test user should have a valid login credential in the SSO identity server.

Thier might be 1 more approach wherein you have the option to enable or disble SSO for a particular user, but I am not sure how is it done.;

Hope this helps
