Cloud Access Manager 8.1.3 - How to Configure for SSO to SAP NetWeaver using SAML 2.0

Introduction

Topics:

This guide provides step-by-step configuration instructions for Single Sign-On (SSO) access to SAP NetWeaver using Cloud Access Manager using the SAML 2.0 protocol.

Prerequisites and requirements

Ensure that the following prerequisites and requirements are met before you configure SSO to SAP Netweaver using SAML 2.0.

• Supported versions
• DNS settings

Supported versions

The SAML 2.0 protocol is supported on the following SAP NetWeaver versions:

• Java 7.2x, 7.3x, 7.4x
• ABAP 7.02, 7.3x, 7.4x

DNS settings

If internal NetWeaver applications will be accessed by users on the Internet using the Cloud Access Manager proxy, the DNS settings should be as follows:

• End-user computers must be able to resolve the public Cloud Access Manager proxy FQDN
• The Cloud Access Manager proxy computer must be able to resolve the FQDN of the NetWeaver server on the internal network.

If users will access NetWeaver applications directly from their internal network, end-user computers must be able to resolve both the Cloud Access Manager proxy machine FQDN and the NetWeaver server FQDN.
