Enable Single Signon for SAP EP with the SAP Logon Ticket

If you enable single signon with the SAP Logon Ticket, you must configure IBM® Cognos® components with an SAP namespace that links to an SAP BW server.

Then you must copy the certificate that was generated during SAP EP installation to the SAP BW personal security environment.

Users must have the same user ID in all SAP systems that are accessed through single signon.

Before you start, ensure that you have
