SAP NetWeaver Integration Kit

The PingFederate Integration Kit for SAP NetWeaver provides Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Provider (SP) functionality to PingFederate. This kit allows an enterprise to extend its existing NetWeaver investment by expanding the reach of the NetWeaver domain to federated partner applications.

Additionally, this kit enables an SP enterprise to accept SAML assertions and provide single sign-on (SSO) to NetWeaver applications. The assertions may be sent using either the SAML protocol (version 2.0 or 1.x) or the WS-Federation passive-requestor protocol.
