Pluggable Authentication Service
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.
