Allow Multiple logons in SAP

Hi,
I need to allow a particular user to allow multiple logons to sap system.
can anyone help me, how to proceed about this.
Thanks,
Sailesh K

Hi Sailesh,
If you only want particular users to be able to logon multiple times use parameter login/multi_login_users and the value will be the usernames separate by a comma

Does XI Adapter (ABAP Proxy) allows multiple LogOn Languages??

Hi ALL,
I have a doubt like whther we can give multiple logon languages in the XI Receiver Adapter ( ABAP Proxy ).
For example,
I am getting data in "English" - EN , "Russian" - RU , "Japanese" - JA etc. Can I give these all languages as "LogOn Language" while configuring the XI receiver adapter? If so how? else, is there any other option for this.
Thanks,
Anudeep.

hi,
I don't think it's possible to precise dynamically the logon lanaguage which has to be used in the receiver XI adapter (proxy).
[Help SAP on XI adapter|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/99/115281baba404890d2561617a78409/frameset.htm]
Maybe a solution could be in the mapping to have a rule which determines the receiver (EN, RU,JA) that should receive a message or another one, and then for each receiver to specific a unique CC. So in your case to define three CC (one for each langauge): EN + RU + JA.
Anyway I don't really understand the reason to manage that... The interest of logon language is when we want to write a text. But in SAP you can write a Japan text even if you are log-in in English by specifying the Language Code !
So maybe the solution of your problem, is to send to your proxy the text but also the ISO language code linked to this text, so to do what SAP does in IDoc and BAPI.

Disable multiple logon from SAP NetWeaver Portal

Hello
I'd like if there is a parameter inside SAP NetWeaver Poral to disable multiple logon with the same account(like login/disable_multi_gui_login for ABAP).
Thanks in advace
Regards
Stéphane

Look at service.sap.com
This authentication only works for S-users (as well as SAP employees) who are active accounts in SAP's AD. That works via the internet for SAP customers and employers (e.g. from each other's networks but their own devices) as well.
With a SAML IdP you have a lot more flexibility in choosing the source of the first authentication and managing complex access rights through to the backend.
But you are correct: if there are not too many users to manage and they are smart enough to periodically generate a client certificate and they are physically attached to their own personal devices, then a Certificate Authority or even Open SSL solution is another option.
I guess it would be usefull to know how many users there are and how the authentication through from the NW portal to the ABAP backend system is going to replaced. Also how much user context information is needed on the backend system still, if at all anymore.
I think we need more information here still before we can safely conclude that a client certificate is appropriate for an internet scenario.
I am more worried about all those issues like stolen certificate and so on.
From my SDN experiences it is more often a case of people loosing their certificates and user IDs than one of other people stealing them.. The vaste majority of the 2 million users are using passwords and those who are active seem to be happy with the password reset service --> also an option.

Julius

Multiple Logon in Production

All,
I am trying to understand the actual risk of allowing users multiple logon in production systems. As of now I believe that should logon credentials be stolen then it's not possible to monitor illegal logons and also a possible data inconsistency.
Please throw some light, have tried searching with the logon profile parameters in the forum and online, but nothing concrete found.
Kind Regards,
AJS

Hi Avinash,
Production system should not allow multiple logon.
Please have a look at below for restrict multiple logins :-
[Restrict multiple logins for a single user in Portal |/message/6942923#6942923 [original link is broken];

How to edit "license information for multiple logon" screen

hey gurus
i need to know how to edit or modify the 'license information for multiple logon" screen. this screen usually pops up when a user tries for a multiple logon to sap. We have activated the parameter 'login/disable_multi_gui_login' but we would like to modify the screen in such a way that only one radio button which says 'terminate this logon' should exist. we would prefer to remove the option of 'continue with this option and end any other logon'. Now i searched but i could not find anything to implement this so i am here and i need your advice and suggestions.
thanks in advance.
cheers.
nate

hey bernhard
many thanks for your reply..i appreciate your help. its just that its not explicitly mentioned we cant modify the screen in the note.
Is there any other note that specifically say so?
thanks for your time buddy.

I want to disable multiple logon in my system, I have add parameter: login/disable_multi_gui_login value as 1. But it can't disable multiple logon after restart sap. Could you advice?
Rdgs,

Hello Emily
1. Try setting the parameter in default profile (DEFAULT.PFL).
2. The parameter restricts multiple logon throguh sap gui only. I hope you are testing multiple logons through sap gui.

I need a report in SAP which allows multiple Profit centers selection with

Hi,
Cany anybody help me with below issue -
I need a report in SAP which allowing multiple Profit centers selection with :
- Profit Center #
- Profit center Name
- Profit center long text
- Profit Center group
- the related PC node showing the BU and the product category group.
Let me know is there any report which can provide us with all this details.
With regards.

Hi,
I recommend the PCA standard drill-down or interactive reports accessible via the follwoing menu path:
Accounting --> Enterprise Controlling --> PCA --> Infosystem --> Reports for PCA
There are several reports which allow entering profitcenter groups or profitcenters.
Long Text is not possible. Makes also no sense to report on Long Text.

I have found an exmaple on the web of using javascript (it opens a child window that polls the parent window, and invalidates the session if the parent window is closed). I agree there always appears to be loop holes around most of th e solutions i've come across.
I had the same idea about invalidating any previously known session for the same userid, I'm pretty new to the java/web app world so I'm struggling with finding the information I need. I couldn't find any methods to call to invalidate another session, I only came accross example where the current session invalidated its own session via call to the session object, do you have any idea how I would do that for other sessions.
Mant thanks for your input.
Derek.

Allowing Multiple Login of users in Production system

Hello,
In my office there are total 4 employes which all use SAP but they all use one username and password so it isn't possible for them to work at same time. Only one employe can work, then after he completes his task he must log-off, and then other employe logs-in and so on... So Multiple Logon option is disabled. I would like to enable Multiple Logon option but as I read it somewhere Mult.logons in productions system of users musbe set to off?
I am not sure what do do because I need to have option for employes to lgoin at the same time with one username/password.
If this is not possible is there any other way to achieve this? Also is there any way that one employe can enter/view data and other three employes can login at same time only to view data?
Any help is appreciated and <removed_by_moderator> !
Greetings,
Adi

Hi David,
There are four users in my office but I am not sure of exact total number of SAP users in my company.
@R. Voerman
Thank you very much for this information. I will try this definetly. Could you tell when I enter this parameter, then
multi_login_users option is ON, right?
@Julius Bussche
You can also assign it selectively to more users than the length of the system parameter field allows...

Deepak Singh

Hi Deepak,
Refer SAP Note # Note 142724 - Prevention of multiple SAPGUI logons
you can disable multiple user login acrocss SAP instance via profile parameter :login/disable_multi_gui_login =1
however , further you can add exception list via SAP profile parameter:login/multi_login_users= <userID>
as per your requirement , you further want restrictions by allowing above exception list with only 4 sessions , which you can control via SAP profile parameter : rdisp/max_alt_modes = 6
pls check if it works , but mind changing SAp profile parameter requires SAP system restart to reflect changes

SAPGui for Windows Multiple Logon with Portal

Hi,
We are using SAPGUI for Windows in Portal in the external window, we are also using it the SAPConsole form the desktop. While using from desktop, the multiple logon (within same client) complains / comes with the pop-up with two standard options.
We would like achieve the same functionality of popup (Restricting multiple logons for the same client) within the portal, any ideas?
I came across certain threads and also notes but none seem to provide a solution....

Edited by: Dharmi Tanna on Jun 25, 2010 2:09 PM

Lonny,
The best way to authenticate users when they logon using SAP GUI for Windows, is to use SNC authentication in SAP GUi. Then, the browser iview will launch the GUI and the GUI will authenticate the user using their AD credentials issued during the Windows logon. You will need to setup an SNC library on both the ABAP system which the user is logged onto, and the workstation where SAP GUI is installed.
If you don't use SNC, and you just launch SAP GUI for Windows from browser, then an SSO2 ticket is used to authenticate the user to the ABAP stack, and this is not secure due to the fact that the SAP GUI session which is used to pass the SSO2 ticket is not protected - anybody can intercept the SAP GUI session, take the SSO2 ticket from this traffic and logon as that user - clearly this is bad security and needs SNC to make it secure.
Thanks,
Tim

I have a problem with my login session.
Multiple users use the same SAP USER ID to logon. but when i try to logon ( even when others are logged on d same id) i dont get the option for multiple logon screen to terminate/continue without ending the other logons but i get to logon directly without this screen as if i am the only user of this id.

Multiple logon for Microsoft Server 2008 R2

I currently work for the U.S. Government as a System Administrator. I'm in the middle of an inspection on my system and one of the inspector asked me about multiple logon for Microsoft Server 2008 R2.
How many times are you allowed to logon to Microsoft Server 2008 R2 before it lock the system? And also if I'm the system administrator what is the limit on logging to different systems with my account.
These are questions that I do not have an answer to and I couldn't find any assistance on the Tech Support website.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,
If you mean how many users can log on the same computer, this is limited by the resource:
If You refer system administrator as domain administrator, domain administrators have full administration rights to their domain.

Hi,
Please go through the below SAPnote to get better clarity on it.....
Note 142724 - Prevention of multiple SAPGUI logons
PS: If this parameter is set to value 1, multiple SAPGUI logons (in the same client and with the same user) are blocked by the system. The parameter is effective during the SAPGUI logon. Logons to the system using the Internet Transaction Server (ITS) or Remote Function Call (RFC) are not influenced by the profile parameter. Furthermore, SAPGUI transaction calls (iViews) that are placed through the Workplace or the Enterprise Portal are not controlled with regard to multiple logons...
