Managing security

SHR provides seamless access to integrated HP and SAP BusinessObjects applications through Lightweight Single Sign-On (LW-SSO) and SAP BusinessObjects Trusted Authentication.

LW-SSO

Single Sign-On allows you to log on once to SHR and gain access to multiple integrated HP products or software systems without being prompted to log on again. The products within the configured group of products trust the authentication, and there is no need for further authentication when moving from one application to another. All requests to integrated applications are channeled through the LW-SSO authentication.

LW-SSO is embedded in SHR and does not require an external machine for authentication. You need only to specify the shared key (Init String), which is used for encryption and decryption of the LW-SSO session token. You must ensure that the other applications in the Single Sign-On environment have LW-SSO enabled and are working with the same Init String.

SHR supports LW-SSO authentication with the following HP products:

Note: In SHR, all applications participating in an LW-SSO integration must use the same GMT time.

SAP BusinessObjects Trusted Authentication

SAP BusinessObjects Trusted Authentication facilitates single sign-on between SHR and SAP BusinessObjects applications. Applications that have established trust with the SAP BusinessObjects Central Management Server (CMS) can use Trusted Authentication to allow users to log on without providing their passwords.

To use single sign-on, you must specify the SAP BusinessObjects shared key (Shared Secret), which is used for encryption and decryption of the Trusted Authentication session token. You must ensure that all the other applications in the Trusted Authentication environment have Trusted Authentication enabled and are working with the same shared key.

SHR supports Trusted Authentication with the following SAP BusinessObjects applications:
