[ SNC (Secure Network Communication )
SNC is a software layer in the SAP system architecture that
provides an interface to an external security product
SNC provides security at the application level
SNC enables SAP system to connect to BOBJ without passing
the password of the user that is connecting
This is required in a use case where reports should be scheduled
to run rather than run online by users
SNC requires that the servers are configured to allow for logon
with just the user ID
SAP provides cryptographic libraries to ensure that the
configuration is secure

[ Integration Best Practice
Use SAP Authentication (SSO) in Business Objects Enterprise
together with SAP Enterprise Portal.This allows
Single Sign-On using LDAP or AD to SAP Portal. The portal
issues SAP logon ticket
The SAP logon ticket used for authentication to BOBJ and other
SAP Systems
Import SAP BI Security (Roles, Users) in to BOBJ. Same become
the user group
Imported users are qualified with logical system name
CLNT
Setup server-side trust to allow for scheduling reports

[ SNC Implementation Step - 1
1 Install Java Connector in BOBJ Server
The SAP Java Connector is required for the SAP authentication and for the SAP
specific features in InfoView.
The following files need to be copied to the Business Objects Enterprise server
sapjco.jar needs to be copied to the shared library path of the BOBJ server. In
the case of a default Tomcat deployment the path would be C:\Program
Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\shared\lib.
Librfc32.dll and sapjcorfc.dll need to be copied to the Windows\system32
directory.
