Single Sign-On
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a key feature of the Enterprise Portal that eases user interaction with the many component systems available to the user in a portal environment. Once the user is authenticated to the enterprise portal, he or she can use the portal to access external applications. With SSO in the Enterprise Portal, the user can access different systems and applications without having to repeatedly enter his or her user information for authentication. The Enterprise Portal SSO mechanism is available in two variants depending on security requirements and the supported external applications:
. SSO with SAP logon tickets . SSO with user ID and password Both variants eliminate the need for repeated logons to individual applications after the initial authentication at the enterprise portal. Whereas SSO with SAP logon tickets is based on a secure ticketing mechanism, SSO with user ID and password forwards the user’s logon data (user ID and password) to the systems that a user wants to call.

Single Sign-On to SAP Systems
This section summarizes the different scenarios for Single Sign-On to SAP Systems. Which method of Single Sign-On (SSO) you use with a SAP System depends on various parameters, such as the release of the system. There are different prerequisites, for example, users must have the same user ID in all SAP Systems that are accessed via SSO with SAP logon tickets. The following diagram helps you find out which method of Single Sign-On to use with a specific SAP System.
