Helpful SSO links!

Hello all!

Following these notes and SCN links is really helping me on my journey to setup SSO !

SCN community:

Important BLOGS:

http://scn.sap.com/community/sso/blog/2012/08/17/how-to-configure-sap-netweaver-single-sign-on-for-sap-gui-for-windows-with-kerberos-integration

--> Nice blog.  Good detail on how to use kerberos to do SSO purely for SAP GUI for windows

http://scn.sap.com/community/sso/blog/2015/03/04/reusing-kerberos-token-for-issuing-an-x509-client-certificate-with-secure-login-server

--> interesting,

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50e92ab8-a2a4-3210-aebe-9f21db341d3e?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&59983513260820

--> SPNEGO based Single Sign-On using Secure Login Server X.509 Client Certificates

http://scn.sap.com/community/sso/blog/2013/09/18/mobile-single-sign-on-from-ios-7-to-sap-netweaver

--> interesting for a mobile solution.  We can make X.509 work now on IOS if the PKCSv12 is used.  Manual step and assumed VPN but it does work.

http://scn.sap.com/community/sso/blog/2012/10/11/secure-login-library-and-sap-netweaver-single-sign-on-and-os400aixas400pase

--> just proves that with 2.0 AIX is fully supported for SSO.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40178

--> This is the kerberos and SPNEGO for ABAP.  Great set of videos.  I think this is the easiest/simplest way for our reps and end users to get SSO for SAPGUI/ICWEB.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40179

--> Implementing Single Sign-On with X.509 Certificates

http://help.sap.com/download/sapsso/secure_login_impl_guide_en.pdf

--> full guide for SL stuff. 

http://scn.sap.com/people/holger.bruchelt/blog/2010/01/11/single-sign-on-to-bsp-pages

--> some explanation about SSO for bsp. 

With the new NetWeaver SSO 2.0 it is now possible to configure the ABAP stack to support SPNego.

So the workaround outlined in this blog is no longer required.

--> we need this to bring back the "ticket" functionality with SPnego to back-end and in the browser

2117110 - Recommendation to Replace SAP Logon Tickets with SAP Single Sign-On Solution

--> sap says they are moving away from tickets and over to x.509/SPnego anyway...and we should too

1313880 - SPNego with DNS aliases

--> interesting note.  reminds you that if you use alias' that you need SETSPN for each alias name. 

Also some tool called KERBTRAY and reminds to check local hosts file on PC in case that is messing things up..

1848999 - Central Note for CommonCryptoLib 8 (replacing SAPCRYPTOLIB)

-->excellent tracing capabilities for SPNEGO/SNC issues. 

creates the file called sectrace.ini with lines: LEVEL=4 and DIRECTORY=/sapmnt/CDM/SLL/sectrace
