Use

In this activity, you import the BW certificate into the portal. This is necessary so that content from the portal can be displayed in the BW system, so that portal roles can be displayed in BEx Web Application Designer for example.

Requirements

Before the BW certificate can be imported into the portal, it has to be exported from the BW system.

Standard settings

Activities

To import the BW certificate to the Application Server Java, complete the following steps:

  1. Start SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
  2. Connect to the portal server.
  3. In the tree, choose <SID>/Server<#>/Services/Key Storage .
  4. Under Views, select the TicketKeystore view.
  5. Under Entry, press Load.
  6. Open the <BW_SID>_certificate.crt file.

In Service Security Provider under ticket, complete the following steps to ensure that the Application Server Java accepts the SAP Logon Tickets from the BW system as an external system:

  1. Start SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
  2. Connect to the portal server.
  3. In the tree, choose <SID>/Server<#>/Services/Security Provider.
  4. Choose ticket as application.
  5. Choose the Authentication tab page.
  6. Change the options for com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.EvaluateTicketLoginModule and enter the following values:
    • trustedsys<Number>=<BW_SID>, <BW_CLIENT> (for example, BWP, 000)
    • trustediss<Number>=<ISSUER_DISTINGUISHED_NAME> (for example, CN= BWP, OU=SAP Web AS, O=SAP Trust Community, C=DE)
    • trustediss<Number>=<SUBJECT_DISTINGUISHED_NAME> (for example, CN= BWP, OU=SAP Web AS, O=SAP Trust Community, C=DE)

      Explanations:

      <Number> is a number for all three entries, but must be incremented by one for every external system.

      <BW_SID> and <BW_CLIENT> are the system ID and the client of the BW system.

      <ISSUER_DISTINGUISHED_NAME> and <SUBJECT_DISTINGUISHED_NAME> correspond to the Own Certificate value in transaction Trust-Manager for Single Sign-On with Logon Ticket(transaction STRUSTSSO2). The trustediss value corresponds to the Issuer value. The trusteddn value corresponds to the Owner value.

You also have to maintain the values under evaluate_assertion_ticket:

  1. Start SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
  2. Connect to the portal server.
  3. In the tree, choose <SID>/Server<#>/Services/Security Provider.
  4. Under Component, choose evaluate_assertion_ticket.
  5. Choose the Authentication tab page.
  6. Change the options for com.sap.security.core.server.jaas.EvaluateAssertionTicketLoginModule and insert the following values:
    • trustedsys<Number>=<BW_SID>, <BW_CLIENT> (for example, BWP, 000)
    • trustediss<Number>=<ISSUER_DISTINGUISHED_NAME> (for example, CN= BWP, OU=SAP Web AS, O=SAP Trust Community, C=DE)
    • trustediss<Number>=<SUBJECT_DISTINGUISHED_NAME> (for example, CN= BWP, OU=SAP Web AS, O=SAP Trust Community, C=DE)

      The values correspond to the values listed above under Application Ticket.
