• Key Concepts: 
  Principal Propagation is a feature of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) component that allows users to access services and resources on remote systems without having to log in again. It works by propagating the user's identity from the local system to the remote system, allowing the user to access resources without having to re-authenticate. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Principal Propagation can be enabled in the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) component by setting up a trust relationship between the local and remote systems. Once this trust relationship is established, users can access services and resources on the remote system without having to log in again. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a trust relationship between two systems, it is important to ensure that the security settings are configured correctly. This will ensure that only authorized users are able to access services and resources on the remote system.
