BW Download to excel - extra login window - no direct BW user possible

Hi All,
When we download a report with a hierarchy from BW to Excel we are asked to logon again. We would like to remove this logon and download the objects directly when exporting to excel.
In note 516884 we found an option for removing the extra logon, unfortunatly for our client this is not an option as they use the SAP portal ONLY to access the reports and do not have direct access and connection to the BW server.
Do you have an idea how to solve this problem? So we do not have to logon in excel, and do not have to have a direct user to BW.
Hope you can help!
Thank you and kind regards,
Hermen

Hi Hermen,
You can achieve this by implementing Single Sign-On between SAP Portal and BW.
SAP Portals has the mechanism to provide Single Sign-On with Logon Tickets.
You can find more detailed information at the link below:

  • Unable to login @ login window with Active Directory User

    I successfully bound my test machine to Active Directory and can search using dscl and id. I can also su to my active directory user account an authenticate perfectly. All search bases are correct and everything else looks fine.
    When I attempt to login from the login window as an AD user, the window shakes. Clicking under Mac OS X shows that "Network Accounts Available". Looks like the CLI tool "dirt" is now gone as well, although insecure it would possibly show something here.
    Anyone else having issues after binding to AD? I bound using the Directory Utility gui... I have not tried using my leopard bind script yet.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I have pretty well the same problem. The machine was already bound to AD prior to upgrade. After could not login on with my account (jball). Can log on with other accounts from the same domain (we only have one AD domain). Can also su to jball in a terminal session. Can't access network resources with jball when I try to connect to a windows server through the finder, instantly comes up with bad username or password, doesn't even think about it.
    I have removed any copies of the home folder under either /Users or /Domain as I have had problems with that before. Have repaired permissions and unbind and bind the machine to AD. Have been at this all day now and no closer. Get these error messages in console:
    31/08/09 4:49:27 PM SecurityAgent[666] Could not get the user record for 'jball@domainname' from Directory Services

  • Cannot display login window as "List of users"

    I am running Leopard Server, and I cannot seem to get my OS to display login window as "List of users".
    The option is grayed out in System Preference, and if I use Workgroup Manager to set the Login preference for this computer to "List of users able to use these computers", my computer doesn't seem to respect that. Although it does respect the "Show Restart/Shut Down button" when I turn that on/off.
    I tried to edit the com.apple.loginwindow.plist in /Library/Preference, no option found for display login window.
    Help please, thanks.

    The way to switch between the two options is:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME 1
    (turn on name list)
    and
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME 0
    (turn off name list)
    and use
    defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME
    to see what the current setting is. Note that when you use the defaults command, you omit the ",plist" on the preference file name.
    As always, beware of trying to bypass measures put in place to protect you, and be careful modifying preference files since you can lock yourself out or prevent your computer from booting properly.

  • Login window only shows one user account

    Hi,
    Anyone has an idea what's happening?
    I'm running Yosemite on MBPr 15" Mid-2012
    When I power on or reboot the laptop, on the login window it only shows one user account, my account which is the Admin account.  It doesn't show the secondary normal user account I created for my wife.  However once I'm logged in and I hit log-off, then it shows the 2 user accounts available for login.
    Thanks in advance!

    The lock is on the bottom left not bottom right. Sorry mixed that up.
    Letting other users unlock the drive
    If you want to make the Mac available to a user that doesn't currently have unlock capabilities, log in as a user that can unlock the disk. When you see your own desktop, choose "Log Out (user name)" from the Apple () menu. Also, you can unlock the disk, then switch to another user from Fast User Switch menu in the menu bar.
    If you want to grant existing users the ability to unlock the drive on their own, open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences. Select the FileVault tab and click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Enter your admin privileges when prompted. Click the "Enable Users..." button to add existing users to the list of accounts that can unlock the disk.
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • Display login window as: List of Users

    Just got a Mac Mini Server.

  • Login Window - Display List of Users

    I have a SLS running in home environment. I only have a few accounts, and on the server, I want the list of users, not the "user/pass" prompt.
    I've searched on this and found:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME 1 (turn on name list)
    and did this, and the value appears as one in my plist, but it's still not working.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey Mr Hoffman,
    How you doing? You are by far one on the highly respected guys on the forums. I say your post and thought "wow, he figured it out." But, alas, we are both stymied. This is a good one. Been messing with this for a while and nothing seems to work on server. Crazy thing is that /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow and /System/Library/PreferencePanels/Accounts are exactly the same size and version on client as they are on server. And now with compiled nibs, I can no longer look at the interface files. So the setting is being modified somewhere else. Still have not found exactly were but clearly the defaults command that works on client is not read on server and the pref panel disables the option to toggle.
    Again, MrH, thanks for all the answers and the continued contribution to the forums.

  • How to switch to "Login Window" using cocoa?

    From my cocoa application I need to programmatically switch user desktop to Login Window.
    The analog of this function is "Login Window" item near the user list menu in the status area (Fast User Switching, Session switch).
    I need this API under 10.6
    thanks!

    In the Terminal, type
    {code}/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend{code}
    So you just have to perform a system call to run this command.

  • Key Sequence To Return To Login Window Without User Logging Out

    Anyone know the key sequence to return to the login window without requiring the user to log out?
    I know this is possible from the menu bar when you have fast-user switching enabled, but I'm trying to get rid of that menu bar icon but I'm looking for an alternative.

    Create a script in Script Editor with the following:
    do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend"

  • Stuck in login window after upgrading to Mavericks

    I am unable to login with my (admin) account after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.
    This was very unfortunate considering that I didn't backup my data !!
    On reboot (I do not remember whether it was the first or second time) I couldn't login anymore as I usually did.
    I tried different procedures (entering secure mode, repair permissions, reinstall 2 times Mavericks) but cannot solve the stuck.
    Then I thought it could be a nice idea to create a new admin user and followed this instructions (http://www.hackmac.org/tutorials/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/).
    After that I was able to login with the new user, I backed-up my data but I was still in stuck on login window with the old user.
    I tried to delete
         com.apple.loginwindow.plist
         com.apple.recentitems.plist
    from /Users/XXX//Library/Preferences/ and tried to restart but nothing.
    Now I wonder how my old and important user can start working again.
    Thank you very much.
    Giuliano

    Restart and hold down the Command and R keys during startup.
    On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches/
    Reset password.

  • Why are deleted user accounts showing up in login window and fast user switching menu?

    There are several old user accounts, just test accounts when I was studying for ACSA that I deleted, which continue to show up in the login window and the fast user switcher menu. I deleted them before upgrading to Lion (I think it was before). The accounts do not exsist in the /Users folder, nor even the /Users/Deleated Users folder. Additionally they do not show up in the list of users in System Preferences. Can anyone give some advice on how to remove these "ghost" accounts from the login window and drop down menu?
    Thanks

    Hi. Thanks for the link. Sorry it took me a while to get to this, the problem is not a show stopper, so to speak, so tried your advice when I had the time. Unfortunatly it did not work. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

  • Login window not displaying list of users

    Hello, i work in a networked office environment, where we regularly sync our networked users to mobile accounts, using homesync.
    On most of our computers, the login window displays the admin account, guest account, other (for network login) and any users synced. However on some computers, it just displays the username/password dialogue. I've checked the login preferences - and "display login window as: list of users" is selected. Also this information is grayed out as though it can't be changed. Is there a rogue system preference file that's causing this to not work correctly? If so where is it, can i delete it, or modify it to fix this situation? thanks!

    I tried the commands you've listed. Upon checking the com.apple.loginwindow.plist files, I noticed that the changes ARE being made to the file, but loginwindow.app is flat-out ignoring the settings. As for the stuff I tried earlier:
    Boot into Single-User Mode
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /Library/Preferences
    rm com.apple.loginwindow.plist
    rm com.apple.windowserver.plist
    cd /Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    cd /System/Library
    rm Extensions.kextcache
    cd /System/Library/Caches
    rm -r *
    reboot
    ...and after this had no effect, I deleted the loginwindow plists listed above several times from the Finder to force loginwindow.app to regenerate them.
    It seems like my problem has evolved slightly since my first post. At first, changes made in the Accounts preference pane would have no effect on the contents of /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist. Now, the changes ARE made in the file, but loginwindow.app does not heed them. Any ideas?

  • AD Radius 802.1x Login Window Connection Problems

    Mac Mini/10.10.1
    I'm using two profile manager profiles for testing:
    1. AD Certificate
        Installs certificate for AD Certificate Authority.
         Requests Machine Certificate from CA
    2. Network Settings
         Network Payload:
              Interface WIFI
              SSID our 802.1x SSID
              Auto Join - Checked
              Security Type - WPA / WPA2 Enterprise
              Use as Login Window Config - Checked
              EAP Types: PEAP
              Use Directory Auth - Checked
    Issue:
         Certificate services work fine, login window works fine. User is able to login and authenticate to wireless. However users are experiencing problems with computer sleep, roaming on network etc. I can simulate their problems by turning off air port and back on while logged in. What I'm seeing happen is that when airport is turned back on, it begins to connect to the 802.1x wireless network but does not authenticate does not receive an IP address. eventually resulting in self assigned address. If I press the connect button it will then authenticate and work as expected.
    Why is it necessary to press the connect button, why does it not automatically connect? Am I doing something incorrect or is this normal behavior?
    Going into network preferences, choosing wifi adapter and clicking connect is too much to expect from my users. And it would be annoying even for me if this happened every time I went offline.
    Thank you for suggestions.

    Hi Geoffrey,
    I would like to know if
    EAP-TLS wireless authentication has been used since it uses user and computer certificates to authenticate wireless access clients.
    Please try to use NPS wizard to configure 802.1x wireless connection,
    and
    you will find that it
    creates new connection request policy and network policy. Network policy NAS Port type will be "Wireless -Other OR Wireless -IEEE 802.11".If
    you
    need filter by user and computer account, the log should show both authenticate user and machine account name.

  • Login Window in a JSP /ADF Application...

    Hi ,
    I test the sample demo applications located in
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_1012/j2ee/index.html
    I have a question , however....
    Is it possible and 'easy' to create a login window , so as the user who types in a url in his browser ... such as :
    http://192.168.1.5:8988/bc_jsp_1-Model1Client-context-root/browse.jsp
    created following the "Creating a JSP Application with ADF Using a Model 1 Architecture" application , will view different rows than another user.....according to , let's say , a flag in the table(s) used in the construction of the ADF model.....
    NOTE:In the sample application "Creating a JSP Application with ADF Using a Model 1 Architecture" (found in http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_1012/j2ee/index.html) each user is logged in automatically , as the ADF model was constructed using a db user credentials...(hr in this case).
    Thanks , a lot for your interest
    Simon

    Hi,
    have a look at container managed J2EE security in which you protect an application's root URL. The user can either authenticate through basic authentication or a form based login screen.
    If using e.g. ADF BC, set the property jbo.security.enforce property to MUST and call getPrincipal() on the ApplicationmoduleImpl.
    From here you can set an application specific database context for the user to enforce VPD (Virtual Private Database).
    If you have time to wait, a whitepaper about this is in teh works, probably being leased end of January

  • Mysterious "Other" User at Login Window????

    Hi folks,
    Ive just updated my old iMac G3 to Tiger 10.4.3 (from OS9) and connected it to my Powermac G5 (10.4.3) via a network cable. The thing is for some reason when the iMac boots up the login window shows the correct user (my wife) but also shows another icon underneath called "other" I recognize the icon (it's the shilhouetted guy with the blue background, Admin?) but my wife's is the only account on the machine. If i type her details in the "other" user it logs in as her the same as if i login with her icon? What is this and how can i get rid of it?
    Thanks.

    I seem to remember this "Other" as an option in Jaguar or Panther, but I can't seem to find it in Tiger. Have you enabled the root user? That's usually what this "Other" user was for — it presented the Name and Password fields instead of a list of users so you could type in "root" and the root password to log in as root. (If you don't know what root is, don't worry about it.)
    To get rid of it, I would try switching some of the Login Options in the Accounts preference pane. Specifically, pick the option that says Display login window as Name and password instead of List of users. Log out, see if that sticks, log back in, switch back to List of users. Log out, see if it's fixed. That's definitely the first thing I would try.

  • Getting rid of "Other" in login window

    Is it possible to get rid of the "other" option in the login window without disabling root user? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Biko

    sorry, I should have clarified...
    I know that it's there so I can log into root user but somehow a while back I accidentally did something to get rid of "other" but by pushing option-o or a key combination like that and then selecting any user it would then ask for a user name and password so I could still log into root user while it was hidden from the list of users... I was hoping someone would know how to make that happen again... thanks anyways though:)
