SAP SSO in web application(React JS) using SAP Cloud Services

[former_member644181]

Hi,

I have been trying to find the best way to implement SAP SSO(SAML) in my web app. For front end we are using React JS and in backend we are using python. I have implemented SSO for iOS application using SAP jamfKeychainUtilities framework but i need to know the right documentation to implement it in web app. Can any one help?

Can we do it using SAP Cloud Services?

Hi, we checked from the Cloud SDK side, and unfortunately, it has nothing to do with it. Maybe this will get you started: https://help.sap.com/viewer/7c61245338d0434c91cb587217404b71/8.0/en-US/6ab8666ade5f4f7e86c06d050f007...

I am assuming you mean to integrate your webapp with SSO with SAP C4C, since that's where you posted this question.

I am not sure what you mean by SAP Cloud Services. In general you will need the following ingredients:

- A SAML2 compliant identity provider. SAP offers one with SAP IAS, but you can use other compliant identity providers as well

- SSO setup between the IdP and C4C: https://help.sap.com/viewer/abfba1342cfb4832ab722fa041f6c4b7/CLOUD/en-US/f1e6f23267b542ce9a906823c70...

- A SAML implementation in Python to turn your application into a SAML Service Provider (SP). There are many libraries out there to use. This one looks pretty good (I haven't used it though) https://github.com/onelogin/python3-saml

- SSO setup between IdP and your SP

I don't think there is any documentation for this specific setup with C4C out there. But SAML is a standard, so just following the implementation I linked for the Python library should suffice to turn your app into a SAML SP.
