connect to SAP BW with Windows authentication (Single Sign-On)

Hi Everyone,

 

When I tried to connect to SAP BW with the "SAP Business Warehouse Application Server" connector and windows credentials, I got the following error message:

 

Details: "SAP Business Warehouse: RfcOpenConnection failed(RFC_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE):
LOCATION    CPIC (TCP/IP) with Unicode
ERROR       GSS-API(maj): No credentials were supplied
            Unable to establish the security context
            target="p:CN=XXX@XXX.NET"

 

I've filled in the SNC Parter Name and tried different options of SNC Library but all failed.  However, I'm able to connect to BW with database credentials. 

 

Has anyone tried with Single Sign-On? Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Thanks Sheng! The Dev 17 release mentioned Windows Authentication is supported for SAP BW, but looks like it’s not really functioning.
