Hi,
first you need to check out in your system whether you have a par name com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp is available or not in you system templates.
if it is not their then you need to upload it.
to upload follow the steps
goto system administration -> support -> portal runtime -> administration console
-> browse throught the contents and fine your par file and press upload.
after uploading go back to system administration -> system configuration -> system landscape -> portal content
here you can create your own folder or right click on portal content directly to create system
when you right click on folder or portal directly you will get three option,
system from template, system from par and folder.
you need to choose system from par and after choosing  in portal content you find
par files selction screen here you need to goto the par com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp -> webapplication  which you imported or uploaded to your portal earlier.
and then in new screen you need to enter the required fields such as name and id.
after this save it and close the editor.
then again got your system you created and right click on it and open object.
here you set the object property in navigation as object is a template to yes.
by setting this property you are making the system available on the template selection ie,.
select system from template.
you create another system using this system.
here you have three steps to perform
a) connection properties
b) user management
c) system alias
in connection property here you need to set the url, http(s), and server name.
since you are using sap logon ticket you need to select in user management property to UIDPW and since you are giving authorization to both user as well as end user you need to select admin,user.
then for the system you need to select system alias, so that the end user can map with the system by choosing the alias you set. to set alias goto property editor and choose system alias and enter the name you want and press add.
Now you goto user administrator and choose your user and select him and press modify and choose mapping tab and select the alias name you entered and and enter the mapped user id and mapped password.
after mapping check the connection it should succeed.
then create an iview to verify whether the iview created by this par is working fine or not.
