• Key Concepts: 
  Client authentication profile is a component of the SAP Single Sign-On (BC-IAM-SSO) that allows users to authenticate themselves with a single set of credentials. It enables users to securely access multiple applications and services without having to log in multiple times.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the client authentication profile, users must first create an account with the SAP Single Sign-On service. Once the account is created, users can then configure their client authentication profile. This includes setting up a username and password, as well as any additional security measures such as two-factor authentication. Once the profile is configured, users can then use their credentials to access any applications or services that are supported by the SAP Single Sign-On service.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up your client authentication profile, it is important to choose a strong password that is difficult to guess. Additionally, it is recommended to enable two-factor authentication for added security. This will require users to enter an additional code when logging in, which can help protect against unauthorized access.
