The Developer's Guide to SAP NetWeaver Security

Developers, system integrators, and software engineers can use this book as a hands-on guide for implementing security standards using SAP NetWeaver 7.0. Each chapter starts with a description of the basic principles of different technologies – Web Services Security, Single Sign-on, SAML, SPML, etc. – and continues with detailed examples and hands-on exercises. In these exercises, you assume the role of an application developer responsible for communication and data security, as well as identity management, in a sample enterprise. Changing business requirements force you to adjust security measures at the application level. This requires you to know the relevant techniques to integrate different system components, and to implement open security standards in the context of service-oriented architectures. Numerous implementation tips, screenshots, and code examples provide detailed information about how you can efficiently use the different standards. And, the enclosed CD contains all programming examples used in the hands-on scenario.
