The Developer's Guide to SAP NetWeaver Security

This practical guide for developers, system integrators, and software architects, describes security technologies in conjunction with SAP NetWeaver Application Server up to and including Release 7.0. In addition to covering the basic principles of Web Service Security, Single Sign-On, SAML, SPML, the book focuses on providing practical exercises and examples to help you establish a profound understanding of the standards used. To accomplish this, a cross-enterprise scenario is used in which system components (based on various technologies) are integrated with each other using different standards (Open Source, Microsoft .NET, J2EE, Legacy). This exclusive sample scenario focuses on key areas of the application layer, such as communication and data security as well as identity management, and it provides readers with numerous screenshots as well as volumes of sample code.

This comprehensive reference enables you to use – and benefit from – open security standards, based on service-oriented architectures (Enterprise SOA).
