This wiki page describes implementing a single sign-on mechanism with SAML 2.0 in a network including an ABAP system which does not support SAML 2.0 authentication. Explanations are based on a sample real-life scenario.

In summary, you need the following products to try out this scenario:

  • SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java 7.2/7.3 (the service provider in the scenario)
  • An identity provider, such as SAP NetWeaver Identity Management 7.2 or SAP NetWeaver Single Sign-On or another vendor’s identity provider
  • An ABAP system, such as SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.0 or 6.40 or system which supports SAP logon tickets (MYSAPSSO2 Cookie, SSO2 Tickets).

Scenario Description

Hosting company “Hosting4All” hosts products/applications for a number of customers – the companies A, B,… , Z. These applications run on an ABAP system. Each customer uses a separate ABAP client so that there is isolation between companies’ data.

Users from different companies have accounts at the ABAP system and can log in with username and password. However, “Hosting4All” would like to make the users’ life easier by introducing Single Sign-On to the ABAP system. This would prevent users from having to re-enter username and password for accessing each separate application.

“Hosting4All” decides to introduce SAML 2.0 authentication and in this way achieve single sign-on to the ABAP system. Each company A, B, …, Z already has a SAML 2.0  identity provider ready to authenticate the users from this company. Users from companies A, B, …, Z do not have accounts on the SAML 2.0 service provider system of “Hosting4All” and customer companies do not want to provision the accounts. Users from companies A, B, …, Z only have accounts on the ABAP system and identity provider is aware of these accounts. 

 

To achieve its goal, “Hosting4All” needs to have SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java 7.2/7.3 with the necessary configuration.

Creating SAML 2.0 Service Provider on “Hosting4All”

Video tutorial with the steps: Configuring the SAML 2.0 Service Provider
The steps below describe the creation and initial configuration of SAML 2.0 service provider.

  1. Open http(s)://<java server host>:<port>/nwa -> Configuration -> Authentication and Single Sign-On
  2. Select “SAML 2.0” tab and click “Enable SAML 2.0 Support” pushbutton.
  3. Enter service provider name and click "Next".
  4. Change setting “Legacy Systems Support (Issue Logon Ticket)” to “On”
    Having legacy system support setting set to “On” means that service provider will issue SAP Logon ticket which could be consumed later by the ABAP system.
    More information can be found at help.sap.com .
  5. Now you need a signing key pair for the local provider. It will be used as encryption key pair as well. To create service provider key pair, click the "Browse" button next to the "Signing Key Pair" field.

    The key storage opens.
    Here are the steps for creating the key pair:
    1. Click "Create".
    2. Enter a descriptive "Entry Name" and click "Next". (You may configure other settings here, if you find it necessary).
    3. Enter at least the commonName and countryName for the key pair. You may also add other fields, if necessary. Click "Finish".

      The details of the created key pair are displayed.
    4. Click "OK".
  6. Click "Next" pushbutton to go to the next step of the wizard:
  7. Change selection mode to “Automatic” and click “Finish” pushbutton:

    More information regarding identity provider discovery settings can be found at help.sap.com .
  8. Download service provider metadata so that you can use it to setup the trust to the service provider at identity provider side.
  9. Export the service provider signing certificate, necessary for metadata verification at identity provider side
  10. Click “Export Entry” pushbutton. Select export format “PKCS#8 Key Pair” and download the certificate:
    More information regarding metadata access can be found at help.sap.com
    Send the identity provider both the metadata file and the exported certificate so that trust between identity provider and service provider can be configured.

Creating SAML 2.0 Identity Provider

To setup the scenario, any SAML 2.0 identity provider can be used.
For more information how to setup SAP-vendored identity provider see video Configuring a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider

Configuring Trust on the SAML 2.0 Identity Provider Side

In this step, you need to configure the identity provider to trust the service provider. For SAP-vendored identity provider see video Configuring Trust on the Identity Provider Side

Configuring Trust on the SAML 2.0 Service Provider Side

Video tutorial with the steps: Configuring Trust on the Service Provider Side
The steps below describe the configuration between the SAML 2.0 service provider of “Hosting4All”, and the SAML 2.0 identity provider of a customer, for example company A.

Prerequisite

You have received SAML 2.0 metadata and signing certificate from identity provider.

  1. Open http(s)://<java server host>:<port>/nwa -> Configuration -> Authentication and Single Sign-On. Select “SAML 2.0” tab and go to “Trusted Providers” link. Click “Add” pushbutton and choose “Uploading Metadata File”
  2. Browse identity provider metadata file
  3. As metadata is signed by a certificate that is self-signed, in order to verify it we need to select a copy of the certificate used to sign the metadata
  4. Click “Next” pushbutton and you should see identity provider name
  5. Just go through the wizard by leaving the default values. At the last step click "Finish" pushbutton and the new trusted identity provider will be created.
      
    More information on trusting an identity provider can be found at help.sap.com

Configuring Identity Federation on SAML 2.0 Service Provider of "Hosting4All"

Configuration of identity federation is actually information which tells service provider how to interpret SAML 2.0 data coming from identity provider. Steps below describe how this configuration is done.

As users who are already authenticated at the customers’ identity providers do not have accounts on the service provider, in-memory users can be used for SAML 2.0 authentication at service provider. In-memory users are just like ordinary users (can have groups and roles) except for the fact that they do not have permanent accounts. In-memory users are deleted as soon as their session is terminated.

The following steps describe how to configure “Transient” name ID format, default user attributes and assertion-based user attributes.

  1. Select the identity provider and click “Edit” pushbutton. Go to “Identity Federation” tab. Click “Add” pushbutton of the “Supported NameID Formats” table. Choose “Transient” format and click “OK”.
    More information regarding transient name ID format can be found at help.sap.com.
    For users coming from different identity providers, SAP logon ticket that will be issued needs to contain different SAP client value. For example, for users coming from company A, SAP logon tickets that are issued need to contain SAP client value “009”. SAP client “009” is the corresponding application client that company A uses on the ABAP system. For company B, the application client will have a different value.
    We can achieve this by configuring default user attributes. They are stored at trusted identity provider level for transient name ID format and can be different for each trusted identity provider. Default user attributes are attributes whose values are assigned to each user coming from the configured identity provider.
  2. Go to “Default User Attributes” tab and click “Add” pushbutton. Choose “SAP Client” user attribute from the drop-down. Drop-down list contains predefined user attributes and also attributes created by user.
  3. Go to “Assertion-Based User Attributes” tab. Here we will configure how to interpret SAML 2.0 attributes from the assertion. In our case, we expect that identity provider knows what the account of the user in the ABAP system is and it sends it as SAML 2.0 attribute called “R3User” in the assertion.
    Click “Add” pushbutton and enter “R3User” as SAML2 attribute. Choose “SAP R/3 User” for user attribute and mark it as mandatory. Having done this, we have configured that we require that identity provider sends SAML2 attribute named “R3User” which will contain the username for access to the ABAP system. SAML 2.0 attribute “R3User” will be mapped to user attribute “SAP R/3 User”.
    User attribute “SAP R/3 User” will be used when issuing SAP logon ticket. The value of the attribute will be put as “R/3 User” in the ticket.

    Important

    In order to issue SAP logon tickets with necessary information, some additional configuration is needed. UME property user.usermapping.refsys.mapping.type should have value “attribute” as follows: “ume.usermapping.refsys.mapping.type=attribute”. Steps how to configure the property are described at help.sap.com

Configuring ABAP System to Trust SAML 2.0 Service Provider

Video tutorial with the steps: Exporting the SAP Logon Ticket
With the following steps we will configure ABAP system to trust SAP logon tickets issued by SAML 2.0 service provider.

  1. To export SAP Logon ticket certificate, open http(s)://<java server host>:<port>/nwa -> Configuration -> Security -> Certificates and Keys. Search for “TicketKeystore” view and select “SAPLogonTicketKeypair-cert” and click “Export Entry” pushbutton.

    Java system on which SAML 2.0 service provider is running will issue SAP Logon tickets which contain system ID of the issuing system, client of the issuing system and logon ID of the user (logon ID used to access the ABAP system).
  2. Login to the ABAP system using SAP Logon on application client which will receive SAP logon tickets(application client is "009" in our scenario). Start transaction “STRUSTSSO2”. Use the transaction to import the previously exported SAPLogonTicketKeypair certificate and adjust the ACL list. More information regarding SAP logon tickets configuration can be found at help.sap.com . Information on how to use transaction "STRUST" can be found at Using Transaction STRUSTSSO2 in SAP System >= 4.6C .

Configuring an Application to Require SAML 2.0 Authentication

With all the steps above we have configured:

  • SAML 2.0 service provider of “Hosting4All”
  • SAML 2.0 trust between service provider of “Hosting4All” and identity provider
  • Service provider of “Hosting4All” to issue SAP logon tickets
  • Legacy ABAP system to accept the SAP logon tickets issued by the SAML 2.0 service provider

However, we still need a way to trigger SAML 2.0 authentication from the ABAP system, perform SAML 2.0 authentication and return back to the originally accessed ABAP application. For this purpose, we will use one custom Java application that will trigger SAML 2.0 authentication and redirect back to ABAP application. This application will be referred as “proxy” application.  

Before the single sign-on solution is implemented, all users coming from companies A, B and Z, used to login with username and password directly on the ABAP system. In order to preserve the current entry point of the scenario, we will also modify ABAP system logon screen to have a link pointing to the proxy application. Another possibility is that end-users are given the link pointing directly to the proxy application.

Here are the steps how to achieve this:

  1. Create simple application which will act as a proxy between the ABAP system and identity provider. This application will be deployed on “Hosting4All” service provider system. You can find a sample application and information how to use it in SAP Note 2434765 .
  2. Configure the simple application to require SAML 2.0 authentication. To do this follow the steps:
    1. Open http(s)://<java server host of “Hosting4All”>:<port>/nwa -> Configuration
      -> Authentication and Single Sign-On
    2. Search for the following policy configuration name: “sap.com/cpgdemo.proxy.app*cpgdemo_saml2”
    3. Configure the application to have authentication stack with login modules as shown in the picture:
      So we have configured that application sap.com/cpgdemo.proxy.app*cpgdemo_saml2 will have SAML 2.0 authentication. More information on protecting resources with SAML 2.0 can be found at help.sap.com
  3. Add a link in the ABAP system logon screen which points to the simple application

Testing the Scenario

Let us explain what happens when end-user wants to use the single sign-on feature.

  1. Users from company A access an application on the ABAP system and as usual they see the logon screen. In addition, they also see a link which points to the proxy application – for example “Single Sign-On Authentication”.
  2. Users click “Single Sign-On Authentication” link and they are redirected to the proxy application hosted on the service provider system of “Hosting4All”.
  3. As they do not have a session yet, they are redirected to the identity provider of company A for authentication.
  4. After authenticating at the identity provider, SAML 2.0 response is sent to proxy application which evaluates it, authenticates the user, creates SAP logon ticket and redirects back to the originally accessed application on the ABAP system. ABAP system evaluates the SAP logon ticket and authenticates the user. User has access to the application.
    Video with the steps: Using Single Sign-On

Important Features Used in the Scenario

  • NetWeaver AS Java 7.2/7.3 can be a broker between SAML 2.0 and SAP SSO2, e.g. to accept SAML 2.0 Assertions and to issue SAP logon tickets.
  • By using SAML 2.0, NetWeaver AS Java 7.2/7.3 can work with temporary in-memory users and there is no need of user provisioning and maintenance.

    Hi Desislava

    Many thanks  for updating the link, we now have the file.

    I don't know if this is the best place to discuss this, but the scenario we are working in is trying to get SAML SSO from an 3rd Party Portal to WEBGUI on the Abap Stack.

    We've configured the NW 7.0 java Stack to accept SAML SSO, and now looking to see if we can have a Java Application that will redirect to WEBGUI, invoking normal SAPLogon Ticket SSO.

    We were hoping this wiki and your sample application would help.

    Do you have any views on this or can you offer any guidance  ?

    Are we on the right track ?

    Thanks for any advice in advance.

    Hi Dhee,

    The link for the sample application was updated.

    Regarding the link ot the ABAP logon screen there are two options:

    1. For SAP_BASIS releases 7.30 and higher: Open SICF transaction, find your node/alias, open it, click the button "Change" (the first one on the toolbar). Then go to tab "Error pages", tab "Logon Errors" below it and click the radio button "System Logon" and the button "Configuration" next to it. The dialog "System Logon Configuration" appears. Now click the button "Adjust Links and Images". In the section "Configurable Links in Header Area" you can define links which will appear in the header of the logon page as on the screenshot above.

    2. For releases lower than 7.30 you can implement your own handler which meets your requirements. To do this, implement a separate class that overwrites certain methods of the class CL_ICF_SYSTEM_LOGIN, especially the method HTM_LOGIN. Example of such a class is CL_ICF_EXAMPLE01_LOGIN which shows a custom logon screen. You have to configure your handler in SICF. Just like in point 1. open the dialog "System Logon Configuration". Then click the button "Define Service-Specific Settings" and in the section "Logon Layout and Procedure" click the radio button "Custom Implementation" and specify the name of your custom class which extends CL_ICF_SYSTEM_LOGIN.

    I hope this will help you for the moment. I'm currently in contact with ICF developers about this custom logon screens and when I find the optimal solutions for every release I'll update the section in the wiki above.

      Hello,

      If you are trying to setup a trusted Identity Provider on the Service Provider side than your metadata most likely doesn't contain an Identity Provider.

      If you're sure that the metadata is OK open a customer ticket in BC-JAS-SEC and attach the metadata.

              Hi Tejas,

               

              In principal SAML 2.0 is a cross-domain SSO mechanism. This wiki describes a way to provide SSO for users authenticated with SAML 2.0 to legacy ABAP systems(which don't support SAML 2.0) with SAP Logon tickets.

  17. Former Member

    Can you please eloberate following?

     

    As metadata is signed by a certificate that is self-signed, in order to verify it we need to select a copy of the certificate used to sign the metadata ?

    I am also getting the same error.


    How to get the copy of the certificate used to sign the metadata.


    Regards

  18. Former Member

    Hi,

    ABAP SP doesn't evaluate certificates included in the assertion. You need to have the certificate in advance and import in ABAP SP SAML 2.0 configuration.

    How to obtain it is a question of the IdP implementation. In most of the cases IdPs allow to download their metadata(which includes the certificates) from a link. Then you can import this metadata in ABAP SP to establish the trust. The certificate will be automatically imported.

    I am done with this but currently i am facing other issue as follows:

     

    I setup sap authenticator for fiori and when i click fiori apps its asking user name and password(But it should not)?

     

    Do we need to use ABAP UME for java systems where we installed/configured idp?

     

    Regards

    Hi Syed,

    Basic authentication pop-up means that SAML 2.0 authentication has failed. Start ABAP SAML 2.0 traces, reproduce the problem and check the logs for more details.

    If you can't find the reason for the failing authentication (check the following wiki: Common Problems When Configuring SAML 2.0 for AS ABAP and search SAP notes first) open a ticket on BC-SEC-LGN-SML component.

    What should be the user source on the java system with IdP depends on your scenario - it might be the ABAP UME, but it's not necessary. In SAML 2.0 world the users on SP and IdP sides are usually different and SAML's main task is to do the mapping between them.

    Also we have created incident in SAP 135186 / 2016, but nobody has been aswered. 135186 / 2016 

    1. Hello Evgeniy,

      Yes, it seems that IdP is not sending the attribute "R3User" as it is not found in the SAML assertion. Have you configured IdP to send this attribute in SAML Assertion?

      What IdP are you using?

      Best regards,

       Desislava

       

       

      1. Hello.

        I am happy to see your responce.

        "Have you configured IdP to send this attribute in SAML Assertion?" How can we do that?

        "What IdP are you using?"  SAP Netweaver 7.5 Java system

        We have installed IdP on SAP Netweaver 7.5 Java system as in instruction guide. I could not find any configuration steps how to set IdP to send  attribute "R3User" to Service Provider.

         

         

          1. Hello.

            Thank you for your reply. 

            On the IdP side I have added some attributes for trusted providers of my Service Provider.

            It is work when I use Default Assertion Attributes, but in this case I have to  enter concret username.

            It is not work  when I use User-Based Assertion Attributes. (SAP R\3 User). I don`t understand why, the error as the as I mentioned.

            And we have one more problem. When I am watching session in Session monitor of SP, the username of user which have made login by idP, has name such a "USER NAME = NID-T-FQCZ1ChHw6VuVql0DruJ0uGOeqI=". I think that usermapping does`t work. It is problem, because we can not do central logout for concret user.

            From documentation I found:

            "You want users to log off from all systems, where they have a session.

             

            SAML enables Single Log-Out (SLO). When a user logs off from a service provider, the service provider notifies the identity provider, which in turn notifies all other service providers, where the user has a session." How can we do that? Is it possible to do with example of this arcticle?


            1. Hi Evgeniy,

              I suggest that you create a discussion in NetWeaver SSO community http://scn.sap.com/community/sso/content and we can continue discussing there.

  31. Hello Desislava,

    Thank you for an informative article.

    We would like to use SAML 2.0 authentication with SAP Single Sign-on 3.0 for SAPGui users to connect to ABAP systems. In the section "Testing Scenario", the user starts by clicking on a link pointing to proxy application for SSO authentication. Once authenticated via SAML 2.0 authentication they get redirected  back to originally accessed application on ABAP system.  Do you have scenario explaining where the user starts with Secure Login Client and gets redirect back to SAPGui after SAML authentication? 

    Best Regards,

    Asif

    1. Hi Asif,

      isn't SAP SSO 3.0 solving the SSO topic using Kerberos? Why would you switch to SAML which is intended for Web applications?

      Best Regards

  32. Hello Gregor,

    The SAP SSO 3.0 with Kerberos implementation is based on user authentication to Microsoft Windows domain during desktop login and issues Kerberos security token to be accepted by the SAP application ABAP systems as proof of identity. We would like to enforce user to authenticate to LDAP or AD each time they establish connection to SAP application ABAP system via desktop client like SAPGui.
