Prerequisites and support for Integrator for SAP

Integrator for SAP works with the prerequisites and under the conditions and limitations listed here.

1. For the integration, use Integrator for SAP only with SAP NetWeaver Portal v7.3 SP2 with note 1638641 Interoperability fix for SAML1.1 assertions in web services. For more information about this note see the web link section. Note that we need a user ID and password from SAP to access this information.

2. Make sure that both HCL WebSphere Portal and SAP NetWeaver Portal are installed in the same domain, for example example.com and have direct access to each other.

3. For virtual portals, HCL WebSphere Portal supports only one integration point per virtual portal.

4. Use only the browsers and browser versions supported by both HCL WebSphere Portal and SAP NetWeaver Portal. For details about browser support, read the appropriate documentation:

   • For HCL WebSphere Portal, read System requirements.

   • For SAP NetWeaver Portal, read the product documentation for that product.

5. To configure single sign-on (SSO) between HCL WebSphere Portal and SAP NetWeaver Portal, use either of the following options:

   • HTTP Basic Authentication for single sign-on (SSO) to SAP NetWeaver Portal. To configure HTTP Basic Authentication for single sign-on, configure Basic Authentication for SSO for the SAP navigation integration. For details, read Configure Integrator for SAP.

   • A Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) environment using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager. For the installation and setup instructions, read the product documentation for IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager.

The navigation integration is temporary for each session and not imported or persisted in HCL WebSphere Portal. Therefore the following limitations apply:

• Users cannot bookmark integrated pages, or tag or rate integrated content.

• If a search crawler indexes a page, the page might not be available for search by users in a later HCL WebSphere Portal session. Therefore verify the HCL WebSphere Portal Search crawler user ID does not have access to the SAP integration content.
