1 Introduction

6 12/2011

1 IntroductionEnterprise Single Sign-On (E-SSO) helps end users log on to multiple systems orapplications without the need to remember every password or logon dialog. Once a user has

successfully authenticated to the Enterprise Single Sign-On application, further logon toapplications running under the system’s control are carried out automatically. Enterprise Single Sign-On supports the following methods of signing-on to an application: Windows logon (for smart card-based authentication only)

This method can either be certificate-based or can use a user ID/password combinationstored on the smart card.

Certificate-based authentication (for smart card-based authentication only)Certificate-based authentication is provided via the standard interfaces such as MicrosoftCrypto-API, RSA PKCS#11 or the GSS-API. The requirements of most application logonrequirements can be fulfilled via these interfaces, such as Internet browsers, e-mailclients, VPN clients, and so on.

Windows logon and certificate-based authentication are not available foroperation with a soft token.

Logon to Windows applicationsThis feature allows you to use single sign-on for password-protected Windows, .NET,terminal emulator, and Java applications.

Logon to Websites (Web Single Sign-On)This feature allows you to log on to password-protected Websites using single sign-on. Atoolbar for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox enables the registration andmanagement of sites for single sign-on.

1.1 About this Document

Purpose This document describes how to use Enterprise Single Sign-On on Windows XP, WindowsVista, and Windows 7.

ConstraintsThis guide does not provide information about how to install, modify, remove, and configureEnterprise Single Sign-On. For such information, see the Enterprise Single Sign-OnInstallation and Configuration Guide .

2 Preparation

2.1 Initial Soft Token LogonUse

After the initial installation of Enterprise Single Sign-On, and a subsequent restart, aninitialization dialog will appear prompting the user to enter a specific password for EnterpriseSingle Sign-On (E-SSO) to capture, encrypt, and safely store all your credentials, as well aschoosing a password recovery question and appropriate answer.

Procedure1. When you start Windows for the first time after Enterprise Single Sign-On installation, the

Initialize E-SSO Password dialog appears:

2. Enter a password into the E-SSO Password field. The password must be at least 8charcters long. To achieve a higher level of security, it is recommended to use a mix ofupper- and lower-case characters, numbers, and special characters.

3. Optionally check Enable automatic logon to E-SSO when logged into Windows session(can be deactivated via Local Management Console) to allow Windows to automaticallylog on to the Enterprise Single Sign-On application after successful Windows logon. Thisoption can be activated or deactivated at any time via the Password Options feature inthe Local Management Console. This feature uses the Windows Data Protection API(DPAPI) to protect the password.

4. Under Question/Answer for E-SSO Password Recovery :

Select a question from the Question drop-down menu. Enter the corresponding, individual answer into the Answer field.

5. This information will now be used to access, and recover, Enterprise Single Sign-On fromthis point onwards. The Enterprise Single Sign-On icon will appear in the taskbar ( ).

For automatic logon only: If a Windows password is reset by the System Administrator, the user will be prompted to enter the Enterprise Single Sign-Onpassword after Windows logon to re-enable the automatic logon feature (DPAPI):

2.2 Local Management Console (LMC)UseEnterprise Single Sign-On has a Local Management Console (LMC) in which all aspects of

the application can be configured. This section details how to open the Local ManagementConsole and details the GUI.

Procedure1. The Local Management Console can be open via one of the following options:

Via Start menu: click Start > All Programs > SAP > signon > Local ManagementConsole .

Double-click the Enterprise Single Sign-On icon in the system tray. Right-click the Enterprise Single Sign-On icon in the system tray and choose Local

Management Console in the context menu:

Soft token taskbar menu

Smart card taskbar menu

In your Internet browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox), click the Local ManagementConsole icon on the Enterprise Single Sign-On Web toolbar:

The Search box and button located at the top of the left pane can be used to lookfor a specific term with the whole naviagtion tree in the left pane. Enter searchcriteria and click Search; use F3 on your keyboard to go to the next search result.

The navigation tree in the left pane allows a user to view and configure each of theaspects for the application. Clicking a node will display the details for that nodeeither in the right pane or in a pop-up window. The following nodes are available:

Node Description

Applications Applications allows you to register, view, edit or delete a Windows orWeb application. For more information about Applications , see

Applications [page 10] .

Credentials Credentials allows you to add, view, edit and delete the credentialscontained with the soft token or smart card. For more informationabout Credentials , see Credentials [page 29] .

Drag & DropCredentials Drag & Drop Credentials allows you to add, view, edit and deletecredentials used for drag & drop. The drag & drop feature isprovided to allow single sign-on to applications or Websites thatcannot be registered to Enterprise Single Sign-On. For moreinformation on Drag & Drop Credentials, see Drag & DropCredentials [page 34] .

Policies Policies allows you to add, view, edit and delete password policies. A Password Policy is a set of rules that govern the characters to beused as well as the password length for Windows- or web-basedpasswords that are created in Enterprise Single Sign-On. For moreinformation about password policies, see Policies [page 39] .

Blacklist Blacklist allows you to view and delete applications from the

blacklist. The blacklist is a list of applications for which Enterprise

Be careful during regsitration to choose the correct field or GUI element.Sometimes there are multiple elements very close to one another and moving themouse a few pixels locates a new element. Therefore you may find that even

though the element looks correct it is actually not.8. The logon fields in the application will be highlighted and a checkmark icon is

displayed next to the parameter to confirm that it has been linked. If you link the incorrectfield, you can click the remove icon to remove the link.
