Quest and SAP Single Sign-on

Someone pointed out a blog post on SAP Single Sign-on using Quest Authentication Services to me a few weeks ago and I thought I would share it with you. The author of the blog post - Joshua Fletcher - is a Senior Business Intelligence Consultant working in Perth, Australia primarily with SAP BusinessObjects software.

Joshua pointed his readers to a very detailed SAP technical note on how to set up SAP SSO with Quest Authentication Services here (you'll need an SAP support account to login). He also issued a small plea to SAP to better document the overall procedure:

If any SAP BusinessObjects staff read this post, it would be fantastic if all this knowledge that is being captured in the SAP Support Portal could be filtered and pushed back into the standard documentation, as this sorely lacks the detail required to implement Vintela SSO.

Joshua, I passed on your blog post and your request to SAP's senior identity management staff last week when I was at their headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. Hopefully, they'll follow-up!
