The two products discussed here, Quest Single Sign-On for SAP GUI and ABAP and Quest Single Sign-On for NetWeaver, are Quest’s offering in the market for Single Sign-On (SSO) between Active Directory-infrastructures and SAP-environments on the basis of Kerberos. Quest also offers a „classic“ SSO solution called Quest Enterprise Single Sign-On as an option for infrastructures which do not run Kerberos.
Authenticating primarily via Active Directory which is standard in many companies brings some big advantages. In addition, all necessary information is consolidated within Active Directory. Other operating systems such as Unix, Linux or Apple can be integrated easily by using Quest’s standard SSO solution. The solution offers true Single Sign-On at the system level. Both products are certified for SAP and support additional functions such as data encryption over SNC (Secure Network Communications).
KCP ranks both products rank among the most effective offerings in the market for Single Sign-On for SAP systems, and we strongly recommend considering them for full evaluation for SSO projects within SAP environments.
