This simplifies the authentication process and makes it more secure.

  To use Windows Integrated Authentication, you must first configure the BC-SEC Security module in SAP. This includes setting up the Windows authentication server and configuring the user accounts. Once this is done, users can log in to SAP using their Windows credentials.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring Windows Integrated Authentication, make sure that the authentication server is secure and that all user accounts are properly configured. Additionally, make sure that all users have access to the correct roles and authorizations in SAP.
