Dear all,
we are planning to develop a mobile application with the help of SUP. This application is intended to synchronize data from a remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP system. User information is stored in the SAP system’s ABAP user store.
Is it possible to use the SAP system’s user store for user authentication, i.e. the user provides his credentials to the mobile application and the Sybase Unwired Server, respectively the MBOs running thereon, authenticate the user against the SAP system? Most sample SUP scenarios are based on LDAP servers as user store which is why I am asking this particular question.
I do have one additional question: Which user account is used to retrieve data from the distant SAP system? Is the account of a previously authenticated user used or a “neutral” technical user? In our case, users have particular permissions in the SAP system, determining which data can be accessed. Hence, we would like to use the user accounts of the true end users for obtaining data and not the account of a technical/service user which might be equipped with additional permissions and thus be able to access more data.
Thanks and best regards,
Markus
