Connecting webdynpro's to MS Sharepoint without SAP Portal

Hello,
A client wants to use ESS in combination with Microsoft Sharepoint Services. But they don't want to use the SAP Portal. Is it possible to use the standard SAP Employee Self Service without using the SAP Portal? So connect the standard webdynpro's to Microsoft Sharepoint Services?
Thanks in advance.

Nope, unfortunately, that's not an option. Everyone (SAP, MS) has confirmed to me this is not possible in a standard way, so I'll keep it at that....

Webdynpro ABAP content authorization object in SAP portal ?

Hi
We are on EHP 6.06 , we have an authorization problem in sap portal for the webdynpro abap content. our standart users got the error "page can not be found" for the services provided from webdynpro abap. when I assign the user to administrator group in sap portal the services working fine. I also checked the SAP ERP roles no problem is there. I guess I should create a new portal role for them cause its the only difference between users who can reach or not but have no idea what to put in it in SAP portal. Any idea ?

in portal content directory => double click on the Content provided by sap folder. Than you should have a dropdown somewhere where you can select "Authorizations". You should add the group endusers and check the checkbox.

CAF without SAP Portal

Hi,
Is it possible to use ALL CAF functionalities and potentialities without having portal installed?
A customer has portal from other vendor and wants to use our CAF Framework to develop composite applications and integrate with their portal, is this possible?
Thanks & Regards,
John

Hi,
Depends on what you want to use from the CAF framework:
1. CAF core
2. CAF UI/Guided Procedures
CAF core is a toolset and a runtime environment to create business applications, which can be published as, for instance, web services.
These webservices can be used from any other system/language. For the execution of these applications you need at least a SAP Web Application Server with the CAF components installed.
With CAF UI you can model processes in the portal, based on services that can reside anywhere, and execute these from within the portal. For this you need a SAP Portal installation.

SingleSignOn without SAP Portals?

Hi,
we want to use SingleSignOn on the Mobile Client, so I looked into all the documentation about the SSO and how you have to configure the client and all that.
But the documentation is all for the SSO between the SAP Portal and the MI client, but I would like to use the Windows authentication and not a SAP Portal with an online connection. Unhappily we have a multiple user szenario on the client, so that depending of the windows user a different mobile user has to be logged on.
Has anyone done something similar? Is it possible to do this via a specific configuration? Can I replace the authentication module and implement something by my own?
Greetings,
Kai

Hi Kai
For SSO to work in MI, you can rely on any ticket issuing system that can issue an SAP Logon Ticket. But what is tested, documented and released is, the SAP Enterprise Portal is the ticke issuing system for MI and not any other system. Windows authentication can never be used for SSO on MI.
Can I replace the authentication module and implement something by my own? I am afraid, you cannot do this.
Hope this helps

Sharepoint 2010 - SAP - Connection Authenification

Hello expert´s,
first i am not sure if this is the right forum, if not, admins, please move this threat to the right one.
We plan to get MS Sharepoint 2010 in our company, so it would be very nice to show SAP data in Sharepoint. If already a prototype page with a running connetction to SAP. So there is SAP data shown in our MS SP page. So far it works, but now we need user specific data. In my first try i used a SAP Webservice (where i deactivated the authenification) so no user an pw was requestet by SAP. Now i need the Username on SAP side and a working auth.check. I searched the internet and asked our sharepoint implenentation parter, but i did not get a solution.
Has anybody an idea how it can work?

Hi Andrés,
from SharePoint 2010 iFrame Integration with SAP BSP, WebDynpro, and iView
"Basically, the iView web parts arenu2019t included anymore because they never really worked anyway. They are no longer u201Csupportedu201D but you can continue to use them as they are in SharePoint 2010. The iFrame integration moving forward really just allows finer control in the page rendering of SharePoint. You can now seamlessly edit the pages to incorporate any desired external content within an iFrame directly. This was not possible before with MOSS 2007.
Even with SharePoint 2007, the IView webpart was not a necessity to visually embed a SAP Portal IView, a SAP BSP page within a SharePoint page. Valid and even recommended alternative approach is a 'plain iframe' construct. You can apply the PageViewerWebPart for this; present in 2007 and also still in 2010,
Or you can completely build your own web part; for code example see http://erpstudies.com/sap/65-microsoft-net-and-sap/1259-sap-business-server-pages-and-sap-web-dynpro-applications.html; or Integration of SAP Business Server Pages (SAP BSP) in SharePoint 2007

Workflow for EP without SAP R/3

Hi WF Expert,
I am new to SAP EP Workflow, currently working on my first project. This is a project for a University, wherein we have to implement students admission process for distance education . We have to using WebDynpro tool for this portal and backend oracle database.Here there is no SAP R/3 server only EP server.
So my question is that without SAP R/3 admission process workflow is possible in portal or not. If yes how can i develop / configure and customizing the same workflow. Is there any tool in EP here we can do this.
Please any one can guide me the same and send me some documents which is related to EP workflow..
Regards,
Jnana Ranjan

You can use Guided Procedures which is a "light" edition of Business Workflow.
Search for 'Guided Procedure' and you will find a lot of documentation and material guiding you through implementation of various types of solutions.

Can we achieve SSO in the SAP Portal without a third party tool

Can we achieve SSO in the SAP Portal without a third party such as Netegrity?

Kirk,
Sorry I misunderstood what you were trying to setup.
If you want to connect the Portal to a Non-SAP Application then I believe that you would need to use a third party tool like Netegrity Siteminder.
We have a portal that is protected by Siteminder and then we have a .NET application that is also protected by Siteminder and SSO is setup between the two since Siteminder is used.
Hope that helps,
Keith

AcfExecute on a PC without SAP Frontend Installed

Hi,
Is it possible to use AcfExecute on a PC without SAP Frontend installed.
I have a requirement of starting a local .bat file an a Client pc. It will be triggered from a Webdynpro ABAP application.
I've set up a whitelist and everything is working fine on my development machine after activing the whitelist.
But, has anyone tried it on a PC without SAP Frontend Installed? Could that work too. By manually placing the SAPFrontendService.xml file on that target pc? Or how can it be done? Any special tweeks necessary?
Planning to test this on Monday at a Client site and if anyone could share your experiense regarding this I'd be very greatful.
Best Regards
Mikael
