• Key Concepts: 
  Principal propagation is a feature of the SAP Mobile Cloud (MOB-CLD) that allows users to access cloud services without having to log in each time. It works by securely storing user credentials in the cloud, so that when a user attempts to access a service, their credentials are automatically retrieved and used to authenticate them. This eliminates the need for users to manually enter their credentials each time they access a service.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use principal propagation, users must first register with the SAP Mobile Cloud. Once registered, they can then access cloud services using their stored credentials. The user's credentials are securely stored in the cloud, and when they attempt to access a service, their credentials are automatically retrieved and used to authenticate them.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using principal propagation, it is important to ensure that your credentials are kept secure. Make sure that you use a strong password and do not share your credentials with anyone else. Additionally, make sure that you regularly update your password to ensure that your account remains secure.
