Creating an application using templates
Subject
EAM Console allows you to use templates to create SAP and Windows application objects. The application templates allows you to create Application objects with a number of pre-defined parameters. They should be used for specific authentication methods. The predefined template applications are:
- SAP, for SAP R/3 application authentication.
- Windows, for authentication to an external LDAP directory.
The application templates are managed in the same way as the Application objects. They enable the SSO function for specific authentication procedures. An application template has a number of predefined parameters.
