A4Office SSO with LDAP

Hi,

We are on BI4.1 SP02 patch 2.2 on LINUX

• We are using MSAD for user authentication.
• Following SAP Note 1636349 - Best Practice:

How To setup Active Directory Single Sign On when BOE CMS is on Unix or Linux for BI4,

we mapped MSAD to LDAP plugin

• Datasource is SAP BW 7.31
• We're using MS Office 2010

Question:

How to setup end to end SSO between A4Office and SAB BW?

• Can we implement SSO between A4Office and BI4.1 using LDAP authentication?
  • or does SSO between A4Office and BI4.1 only works with MSAD?
• Do we need to deploy STS (or SNC) on each client PC
• A4Office is using a web service to logon. Isn't that OS independent?

Thanks for your replies,

Jan
