What is 'logon ticket' in SAP BC-SEC - Security?

logon ticket - Overview

• Component: BC-SEC

• Component Name: Security

• Description: Piece of information used for user authentication and Single Sign-On with SAP systems. The logon ticket is issued to a user when he or she logs on to an SAP system that is configured to create tickets for example, the SAP Web Application Server or Portal. The logon ticket is only issued after the user has been authenticated, for example, using user ID and password. It is then sent to further systems when the user accesses the system's services. Instead of prompting the user for user ID and password, these systems verify the validity of the logon ticket to allow the user access to its services.

  Key Concepts: 
  A logon ticket is a security feature in SAP BC-SEC Security that allows users to securely access the system without having to enter their credentials each time. It is a single sign-on (SSO) solution that stores the user's credentials in an encrypted form and provides them with a unique ticket that can be used to access the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the logon ticket, users must first authenticate themselves with their credentials. Once authenticated, they will be issued a unique ticket that can be used to access the system. The ticket is valid for a certain period of time and must be renewed periodically. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to keep your logon ticket secure and not share it with anyone else. Additionally, it is important to remember to renew your ticket periodically in order to maintain access to the system.
