Single Sign-On for SAP: Active Directory-based Authentication to SAP Applications

Tags:
security tools

Overview Do users in your organization have multiple user ids and passwords - one set for SAP, one for Active Directory and so on? Multiple identities create problems: spiraling help desk costs, decreased user productivity, and potential security breaches.

Single sign-on (SSO) is the answer. SSO controls the costs, reduces confusion and eliminates the security risks of single users with both an SAP and Active Directory sign-on and password. This new technical brief, "Single Sign-On for SAP," discusses how technology from Quest meets the challenge of multiple SAP and Active Directory system identities and passwords.
