LDAP Authentication with SSO2 Generator
From SMP 3 server Service Pack 8 onwards, SMP uses SAP logon tickets to authenticate a user to a backend system. Also called as SAPSSO2 or MYSAPSSO2 cookies, SAP logon tickets are generated by SMP for an authenticated user and attached to requests going to backend system.
The authentication provider, SAPSSO2 Generator is used only in combination with other providers such as HTTP/HTTPs Authentication, LDAP, and SAML.
As there is no user mapping in SMP, the username authenticated in SMP must also exist in the backend system. User is authenticated using LDAP server and then the user details are posted to SAP backend using SSO2 Generator. To do this, a keypair is required to sign SAP logon tickets.
Use OpenSSL to create a self-signed certificate.
