SSI Custom User Management Integration
Simple System Integration (SSI) provides the possibility to integrate a custom user management system to retrieve passwords for technical users.
Passwords are obtained from a custom user management system for three kinds of users:
- Users in the SAP Focused Run system (the so called “back users”): they are used for inbound communication to the SAP Focused Run system, e.g. for connections established by Simple Diagnostics Agents (SDAs)
- Users in managed systems: they are used by Simple Diagnostics Agents to access a managed system, e.g. for collecting monitoring data
- OS Users on managed hosts: they are used for communication from the SAP Focused Run system to hosts
This custom user management feature is designed to support username/password-based authentication. Certificate-based authentication is not supported via this mechanism. For ABAP systems this for example means that only communication mode “RFC with Basic Authentication” is supported.
The custom user management integration makes use of SAP Enhancement Framework, especially the Business Add-In (BAdI).
This document presumes that the reader / implementer is familiar with the concepts of SAP ABAP BAdI. The above links (from publicly available standard SAP documentation) provide relevant background information. This document only describes the relevant BAdI to be implemented.
