3.6 Defining Application and Technical Definition Objects

This section explains how to create and define Application and Technical definition objects.
•
Without Controller, Enterprise SSO Studio allows you to entirely configure Application objects.
An application object implies the definition of:
a)
An application name as shown in Enterprise SSO Studio and in SSOWatch, and some options regarding the access rights for this object.
b)
Parameters that associate this application with the SSO data in the security system.
c)
Access strategy (in registry or personal configuration modes), or assignment to user groups (in LDAP mode); the application profile should be defined for each association to a user group.
Enterprise SSO Studio allows you to create application objects with some pre-defined parameters for SAP and Windows applications: see 3.6.1.1 Creating a New Application Object or Technical Definition.
•
With Controller, Enterprise SSO Studio allows you to configure Technical Definitions.
A Technical definition object is a technical description of an application that allows you to use an application, and particularly to produce single sign-on in a Quest ESSO environment. The application configuration must then be completed in the administration console (see Quest ESSO Console Administrator Guide).

3.6.1.1 Creating a New Application Object or Technical Definition

Subject
For Application objects, Enterprise SSO Studio allows you to use templates to create SAP and Windows application objects.
The Template Application item allows you to create an Application object with a number of pre-defined parameters. They should be used for specific authentication scenarios. The predefined template applications are:
•
SAP, for SAP R/3 application authentication (for more details, see 6 The SAP R/3 Plug-in).
•
Windows, for authentication to an external LDAP directory.
Template applications are managed in the same way as Application objects. They enable the single sign-on function for specific authentication procedures. A template application has a number of predefined parameters.
The following procedure explains how to create a new technical definition or application (with or without template).
Procedure
1.
In the Enterprise SSO Studio main window, do one of the following, depending on the action you want to perform:
•
To create a new application or technical definition:
Right-click the node where you want to create a new Application or Technical Definition and click New Application or New Technical Definition.
•
To create a new application using a template:
Click the node where you want to create a new template application and in the Edit menu, click New Template-based Application/SAP or Windows.
The Application properties window appears.
2.
Fill-in the Application properties window (or modify it in case of template application) as described in 3.6.2 Filling-in the Application Properties Window.

3.6.1.2 Modifying an Application Object or Technical Definition Configuration

Subject
The following procedure explains how to modify the properties of an existing Application Object or Technical Definition.
Procedure
1.

The Application properties window appears.
2.
Fill-in the Application properties window as described in 3.6.2 Filling-in the Application Properties Window3.6.2.
