Pluggable Authentication Services (PAS) allows SAP user to be authenticated outside of SAP. When the user is authenticate by an external service, the PAS will issue an [SAP Logon Ticket]] or x.509 Certificate which will be used for future authentication into SAP systems. The PAS is generally regarded as an opportunity for companies to either use a new external authentication system or an existing external authentication system. In some cases, the PAS is used with an external single sign-on system.

External Authentication Systems

  • Windows NT LAN Manager Authentication
  • Windows NT domain controller (i.e., User ID and password verification)
  • Binding LDAP to a directory server
  • Authentication using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol and x.509 certificates
  • HTTP header variables (mapping userIDs)
  • Authentication mechanism through the AGate
