Strategy ONE

Single Sign-On to SAP BW

Strategy supports single sign-on authentication of a Windows user to MicroStrategy Developer, Strategy Web, and SAP BW serving as an MDX cube source in Strategy using the integrated authentication option.

Integrated authentication enables a user to log in once to their network account, confirming access to the SAP BW data that has been integrated into Strategy.

Integrated authentication enables a user to log in once to their network account. This can include the user's initial log in to their computer. This same authentication is used to confirm access to the SAP BW data that has been integrated into Strategy. To support this type of authentication, you must complete the following requirements:

  • Configure the SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java to use your SAP BW server as the repository for your SAP user accounts, accept Kerberos tickets as a valid form of login credentials, and generate an associated SAP Logon Ticket.
  • You must include an additional connection parameter, EPURL, as part of the database instance that you created for your SAP BW connection. See Add the EPURL Connection Parameter to Your Database Instance for steps to include this parameter.

For additional information about configuring this type of authentication, see the Identifying Users: Authentication section of the System Administration Help.
