1 One-Time Password Authentication
Implementation Guide
The one-time password (OTP) solution, part of SAP Single Sign-On (SSO), is used to generate one-time passwords called passcodes.
The passcodes are time-based and valid for just one login attempt. They are used for strong authentication when logging on to corporate resources. To use one-time password authentication, it is best to have compatible mobile devices, which provide the passcode. To use the OTP authentication, you should then install an authenticator application on your mobile devices.
Note
If you do not have compatible mobile devices, there are alternative solutions for passcode provisioning.
You can use the OTP authentication in the following cases:
● Log on to systems using Secure Login Client.
● Log on to systems using SAML and using SAP NetWeaver (NW) Application Server (AS) Java as an identity provider.
● Log on to web applications running on SAP NetWeaver AS for Java.
The OTP solution provides its own login module, TOTPLoginModule, which supports two-factor authentication or single-factor authentication. With two-factor authentication, you provide two means of identification (a passcode and a corporate password or an X.509 certificate for example), while with single-factor authentication you log on using only one factor (a passcode, a corporate password, an X.509 certificate or other).

Implementation Guide .
1.2 One-Time Password Authentication Administration Guide
This section provides information about the installation and configuration of one-time password (OTP) authentication.
Types of Passcodes
To use OTP authentication, you have to configure how the one-time password (passcode) is generated and provided to your users. You can configure authentication with the following types of passcodes:
● Passcode generated by an authenticator mobile application
This configuration is possible if users can install an authenticator application on their mobile devices. For
● Random passcode sent by SMS, e-mail, or another channel
This configuration is for users who cannot install an authenticator mobile application. The passcode can be sent to the users by SMS or e-mail. For more information about this configuration, see
Authentication with a Random Passcode Sent by SMS, E-Mail, or Another Channel [page 32]
.
● External passcode generated by a third-party passcode provider
This configuration is for passcodes from a third-party provider (for example, RSA SecureID passcodes) that need to be validated before the user is authenticated. For authentication with these passcodes, developers have to implement a policy script written in JavaScript. For more information about this configuration, see
Configuring External Passcode Validation [page 35]
.

1.2.1 Configuring TOTPLoginModule and RBALoginModule
SAP Single Sign-On provides two login modules which perform two-factor authentication. These are
TOTPLoginModule and RBALoginModule. You can use the TOTPLoginModule when you want the first factor to be one of the login modules available on the AS Java, and the second factor to be a one-time password
(passcode). You can use the RBALoginModule when you want to use the login modules available on the AS Java as first and second factor. This topic handles mainly the TOTPLoginModule, but most of these concepts are also valid for the RBALoginModule. You can find more examples in the Examples topic.
How to Use the TOTPLoginModule
If you want to use the TOTPLoginModule, you need to add it to the authentication stack of your application. For more information, see Policy Configurations and Authentication Stacks . The TOTPLoginModule can use one or more login modules available in AS Java as the first authentication factor. For more information about the login modules, see Login Modules . You can specify the first factor login module or modules on the
One-Time Password
Administration
UI at http://<host>:<port>/ssoadmin/otp,
Settings
tab, below the
Two-Factor
Authentication
section.
How the Authentication Works
1. When a user tries to open the protected application, the TOTPLoginModule is triggered as part of the corresponding authentication stack, which protects the application.
2. The TOTPLoginModule is now at the first stage and calls its first factor login module or modules, until a login module finds a user principal (for example username) that correspond to the authenticating user.
3. The TOTPLoginModule fails the authentication in order to trigger the second stage, where the user is requested to provide a passcode as second factor.
4. The user provides the passcode, the TOTPLoginModule succeeds and, depending on the rest of the login modules in the authentication stack and their flags, the overall authentication either succeeds or fails.
Interaction Between the TOTPLoginModule and Other Login Modules
If you have an authentication stack with login modules, the TOTPLoginModule can replace this whole authentication stack (with some limitations), or it can replace a single login module from this authentication stack.
● Replacing the whole authentication stack
If you have configured an authentication stack with a few login modules, you can replace all these login modules only with one TOTPLoginModule. This TOTPLoginModule should have the same initial login
8
P U B L I C
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
modules configured as first factor login module. For more information on how to configure the first factor login module, see
Configuring Two-Factor Authentication [page 30] .
The login module options for the first factor login modules must be specified as TOTPLoginModule login module options. For more information, see the handling of login module options in the format
<login module>.<login module option>
in
One-Time Password Login Module Options [page 13] .
Caution
When using only the TOTPLoginModule instead of a login module stack, keep in mind that the first factor login modules set to the TOTPLoginModule will be handled as with the
Sufficient
flag.
● Replacing one login module in the authentication stack
If you want to enhance a single login module from your authentication stack with one-time password as a second factor, you need to replace this login module with the TOTPLoginModule and set the replaced login module as a first factor login module.
Note
If you are combining several login modules to create your authentication stacks, keep in mind that the order and flags of these login modules are very important for the authentication. If you use the
TOTPLoginModule, there should be no other login modules with the
Requisite
, or
Required
flag after the
TOTPLoginModule. For more information, see
Policy Configurations and Authentication Stacks .
For more examples, see
.
1.2.1.1 Examples
Example
1. Setting Up Login Either with Password or with Passcode
John Miller is an administrator at MyCompany corporation. He has an application protected with user e-mail and password. He wants to configure the system to require authentication with a passcode in addition to the password.
John Miller has to do the following:
1. In SAP NetWeaver Administrator at http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa, choose
Configuration
Authentication and Single Sign-On Authentication Components
and replace the
BasicPasswordLoginModule with TOTPLoginModule in the authentication stack of the application.
2. Add a login module option for TOTPLoginModule with the name
UserMappingMode
and the value
.
This allows the customized logon application to correctly visualize the required user principal.
3. Add a login module option with name
BasicPasswordLoginModule.UserMappingMode
and the value
. This instructs the BasicPasswordLoginModule to resolve the user by his/her e-mail.
4. On the
One-Time Password Administration
UI at http(s)://<host>:<port>/ssoadmin/otp,
Settings
tab, specify BasicPasswordLoginModule in the
First Factor Login Module
field.

Once this configuration has been completed, all employees of MyCompany will be able to log on to the system by entering an e-mail address and a password, or an e-mail address and a passcode generated by an authenticator mobile application.
Example
2. Setting Up Login with Certificate and Passcode
John Miller is an administrator at MyCompany corporation. He has an application protected by X.509 certificate authentication. He wants to add a passcode as a second factor. Assuming the CN field of the employees’ certificates contains their corporate e-mail, and the application is already protected by
ClientCertLoginModule, John Miller has to do the following:
1. In SAP NetWeaver Administrator at http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa, choose
Configuration
Authentication and Single Sign-On Authentication Components
and replace the existing
ClientCertLoginModule with TOTPLoginModule.
2. Add the login module option
ClientCertLoginModule.Rule1.UserMappingMode
with value

One-Time Password Administration
UI at http(s)://<host>:<port>/ssoadmin/otp,
Settings
tab, specify ClientCertLoginModile in the field
First Factor Login Module
.
6. Save the configurations.
Once this configuration has been completed, all employees of MyCompany will be able to log on to the protected application by providing their certificate and by entering a passcode as well.
Example
3. Setting Up Login with Password, or Password and Passcode According to the Policy Script
John Miller is an administrator at MyCompany corporation. He has an application protected with username and password, and he wants to add a passcode as a second factor. The users in Germany should authenticate with a password only, while users outside of Germany should authenticate with a password and a passcode. John has to do the following for this configuration:
1. In SAP NetWeaver Administrator at http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa, choose
Configuration
Authentication and Single Sign-On Authentication Components
and replace the
BasicPasswordLoginModule with TOTPLoginModule in the authentication stack of the application.

Before SAML2 is required as second factor, the policy script verifies if the second factor is required for this specific user, depending on a user attribute defined in the policy script. If it is not required, the user is able to log in only with user name and password. If a second factor is required, the is SAML2LoginModule triggered.
Restriction
Keep in mind that the mobile single sing-on, where both authentication credentials are received simultaneously, does not work with this setup.
1.2.1.2 One-Time Password Login Module Options
All of these options are optional. Some of them are configurable in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI.
When you declare options for the TOTPLoginModule in SAP NetWeaver Administrator, you overwrite the central ones set in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI. This might be necessary when you set custom options for a specific policy configuration (application). If an option is not set explicitly as a login module option,
TOTPLoginModule will use the default value.

●
TOTPLoginModule to authenti cate the user with a user name and a passcode.
● Another login module to authenti cate the user with credentials other than the passcode.
For this reason, the tfa.first.factor.login.
module option is taken into ac count.
Note
If mode is not set explicitly in SAP
NetWeaver Administrator,
TOTPLoginModule will act like in
otp&pwd
mode.
If the mode is set to

Context
You can do the following settings for the single-factor authentication:
● You can require confirmation from users when they automatically log on to an application.
This might be necessary for protection against logon XSRF attacks in mobile single sign-on scenarios when users can log on to applications without providing a passcode.
● You can require two distinct passcodes from users before they log on to an application.
This might be necessary for security reasons if using only one passcode might result in security being compromised.
● You can set the system to create a persistent cookie when the user initially provides two distinct passcodes.
You can set the following for this cookie:
○ Validity
The cookie is valid until it expires or is revoked. You revoke such a cookie for specific users under the

1.2.4 Configuring Two-Factor Authentication
You need to configure two-factor authentication if you would like users to provider two independent factors for strong authentication.
Overview
When you enable two-factor authentication, users log on with credentials defined by the first factor login module and usually a passcode as a second factor. The first factor login module can be defined in the following ways:
● In the
One-Time Password Administration
UI at http(s)://<host>:<port>/ssoadmin/otp
The first factor login module that you configure in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI is used centrally for all applications. Furthermore, you can specify a list of login modules and then the first matching login module from the list will be used. Here you can use any login modules that are supported by SAP NetWeaver
Administrator.
● In the SAP NetWeaver Administrator at http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa
You can set the first factor login module as a login module option of TOTPLoginModule in order to overwrite the central configuration. This is necessary for example if you would like to configure an application that does not use the central settings. For more information about the login module configuration, see Related
Information.
You can also set the following additional options for two-factor authentication:
● You can allow the creation of a persistent cookie when a user initially enters both factors.
The cookie is used as the first authentication factor. The user then logs on with the second factor (passcode, password, or another) until the cookie expires or is revoked.
You can set the following for this cookie:
○ Require User Consent
The cookie is issued only when the user selects
Trust this computer
or
Trust this device
checkbox on the logon page.
○ Validity
The cookie is valid until it expires or is revoked. You revoke such a cookie for specific users under the
Users
tab of the
One-Time Password Administration
UI. For more information about the management of user accounts, see Related Information.

You can do this if users do not have supported devices that allow the installation of an authenticator mobile application. , you need to develop a policy script.
● You can enable the use of a policy script.
The policy scripts can be used for the following cases:
○ Controlling conditions for two-factor authentication
You can develop a script setting conditions for a single or two-factor authentication in accordance with the location that a user is logging on from for example.
○ Sending passcodes via email
You can develop a script for the passcodes to be send via out-of-band methods.
○ Validating passcodes generated by a third-party passcode provider.
You can develop a script to validated passcodes generated by a third-party provider and to show the result of the user authentication.

1.2.4.3 Configuring External Passcode Validation
Users can log on with external passcodes generated by a third-party passcode provider such as RSA SecureID passcode.
To allow this kind of authentication, you need to make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
● The system that generates external passcodes is configured properly.
● The developers have implemented a policy script containing the validatePasscode(config, context, result, username, passcode) function.
The function has to use the validatePasscode(...) method, and the policy script has to define when the validation is successful and when the user authentication fails. For more details how to develop this kind of script and what methods you can use, see Related Information.
● The otp.use.external.passcode.validation property is enabled for TOTPLoginModule.
You can set this property in SAP NetWeaver Administrator as a login module option or in the policy script. For more details about how to set options for TOTPLoginModule, see Related Information.

1.2.4.4 Two-Factor Authentication with Virtual Users
In SAP Single Sing-On version 3.0 and higher, two-factor authentication can work with virtual users. If a user passes the first factor authentication against an external data source (for example LDAP), but does not exist in the UME database, a temporary virtual user is created for the duration of the application session in the following cases:
● The user principal from the first factor login module is
VirtualUserPrincipal
. A new virtual user is then created and receives assignments for groups, roles and attributes as defined for the
VirtualUserPrincipal
.
● The value of the login module option
UserMappingMode
is
VirtualUser
. A new virtual user is then created with no group, role or attribute assignments.
Note
The virtual user exists for the duration of the application sessions associated with that user (for example until the user logs out, or the session expires). If the user cancels the process after the first step, the virtual user exists until the session expires.
1.2.4.4.1 Examples of Two-Factor Authentication with Virtual
Users
Example 1: Two-Factor Authentication with External Passcode Validation
Prerequisites
1. In the SAP NetWeaver Administrator at http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa, you have protected an application with the login module TOTPLoginModule, and the following login module options:

What Does It Do
If the user authenticated by the first factor login module does not exist in the UME database, a virtual user is cre ated for the duration of the application session.
2. You have created a policy for external passcode validation. For more information, see
External Passcode Validation [page 89] .
3. You have configured external passcode validation. For more information, see
How Does It Work
Michael Adams is an employee of company A. Michael logs into an application protected with the login module
TOTPLoginModule. The first factor login module is SecureLoginModule20LDAP, so Michael is requested to provide his LDAP credentials. Michael provides the credentials, and the first step of the two-factor authentication succeeds. As there is no user called Michael Adams in the UME data source, a new virtual user is created with no attribute, role, or group assignments. Michael is prompted to enter a passcode. After providing the passcode, this is validated externally, and Michael is successfully authenticated.
When Michael logs out of the application, or the application session expires, the virtual user is deleted.
Example 2: Two-Factor Authentication with SAMLLoginModule and Passcode
Sent via Email
Prerequisites
1. You have configured SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java as a service provider. For more information, see Configuring AS Java as a Service Provider .

Michael Adams is an employee of company A. Michael opens the application protected with the login module
TOTPLoginModule and is redirected to the identity provider in order to authenticate. After Michael authenticates on the identity provider, he is redirected back to the service provider. The first factor authentication passes successfully, and
SAML2LoginModule
creates
VirtualUserPrincipal
.
The user Michael Adams does not exist in the UME on the service provider, and does not have one-time password activation, so he could not provide a second factor. As the user principal created by the first factor login module is
VirtualUserPrincipal
, a new virtual user is created with groups, roles and attributes assigned as defined in
VirtualUserPrincipal
. An e-mail with the passcode is sent to Michael's e-mail address. Michael uses this passcode for the second factor authentication, and the overall authentication to the protected application succeeds.
Example 3: Two-Factor Authentication with 3rd Party Login Module and
Passcode Sent via Email
This example is very similar to Example 1, but instead of using the login module option UserMappingMode, a
VirtualUserPrincipal
is created via a policy script. In the policy script, you can specify attributes, groups, and roles to be assigned to the virtual user.
Prerequisites
1. In the SAP NetWeaver Administrator at http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa, you have protected an application with the login module TOTPLoginModule, and the following login module option:
Table 10:
Name of the Login Module Option Value of the Login Module Option What Does It Do tfa.first.factor.login.mod
ule
<3rd party login module name> Authenticates the user according to the 3rd party login module’s logic.
2. You have created a policy script in the
Policy Script Administration Console
, which replaces the user principal from the first step of authentication in the onUserIdentified() function with a new
VirtualUserPrincipal
, specifying details for the user (for example, email attribute). The policy also must send an e-mail to the user’s e-mail address with the passcode for the second step of authentication. For more information on how to create new virtual principal, see
Policy Script Functions and Methods [page 57] .
3. You have set this policy in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI at http(s)://<host>:<port>/ ssoadmin/otp.
How Does It Work
Michael Adams is an employee of company A. Michael does not have a persistent user in the UME database, but the 3rd party login module can authenticate Michael against an external data source. Michael logs into an application protected with the login module TOTPLoginModule. The 3rd party login module authenticates
Michael successfully. The policy script replaces the 3rd party user principal created by the 3rd party login module with a new VirtualUserPrincipal. In the policy script, you can specify roles, groups and attributes for the new virtual user that will be created. For this example, the e-mail attribute must be specified, so that an e-mail containing the passcode for the second step of authentication can be sent to the user. The virtual user is created successfully after the first step of the authentication, and an e-mail with the passcode is sent to Michael's e-mail address. Michael uses this passcode for the second factor, and the overall authentication to the protected application succeeds.

1.2.5 Configuring an OTP-Related Logon Application
For the proper one-time password (OTP) authentication flow with a browser client, you can configure a custom logon application that uses two steps of the logon process. This OTP-related logon application displays one screen for the first factor and after successful validation of the first credential requires the credential for the second factor.
Context
By setting the OTP-related logon application, you allow users to see the following improvements on the logon pages to any application:
● A QR code
Users can scan the QR code to access the application or to add it as a favorite application for mobile single sign-on (SSO).
● Separate pages for password and passcode
Users enter password and passcode on separate logon screens, but not concatenated.
●
Log on with SAP Authenticator
link
Users can choose the
Log on with SAP Authenticator
link when they log on to an application from their mobile devices. Provided the application is added to the SAP Authenticator account, they log on with mobile SSO.
● Policy scripts
The policy scripts developed to show messages on logon pages only work with the OTP-related logon application. That means if you use scopes in your policy script for full access or limited access authorizations, the logon screen works only with the OTP-related logon application.
●
Require user confirmation for automatic logon
setting in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI.
Users will only see a confirmation screen during automatic logon if the OTP-related logon application is configured. This confirmation serves to protect the application from various attacks.
●
Trust this computer
or
Trust this device
checkbox
Users can trust their computers or mobile devices during two-factor authentication by selecting a checkbox when the OTP-related logon application is configured. After selecting the checkbox, they will log on to the application with one factor only next time.
You can perform this configuration in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI by selecting the
Require User
Consent
chekbox under
Settings Two-Factor Authentication
or by writing a policy script. For more details how to develop a policy script, see Related Information.
Procedure
1. Log on to SAP NetWeaver Administrator at http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa.
2. Choose the
Configuration
tab.
3. Choose the
Authentication and Single Sign-On
link.
4. Choose the
Authentication
tab and the

Using a Company-Specific Logon Application
To use your own logon application with OTP authentication, you have to customize the OTP-related logon application instead of the default logon UI application. You can find the OTP-related logon application under the following path: <ASJava_Installation>/j2ee/cluster/apps/sap.com/sso~otp~ear/servlet_jsp/ otp_logon_ui_resources/sap.com~sso~otp~logon~ui.war
When customizing your OTP logon application, note that you have to update the corresponding
.jsp
file, depending on how you access the application.
For example:
● For HTTP access, update the
logonPage.jsp
● For HTTPS access, update the
certLogonPage.jsp
● For access from mobile devices, update
certLogonPageMobile.jsp
or
logonPageMobile.jsp
in the folder
mobile
For more information how to develop a custom logon screen, see Related Information.
Note
In the <project_name>/EARContent/META-INF/application-j2ee-engine.xml file, change the reference to be to the OTP-related logon application (

1.2.6 Configuring the Online Account Setup
Users who have
SAP Authenticator
1.2.0 or higher installed on their mobile devices can set up their accounts by also providing a confirmation code.
Context
The online account setup has the following specifics:
● An administrator has to assign the corresponding role or action to the users.
Users can perform online account setup only if they have the necessary role or action assigned in the user management engine. For more details, see Related Information.
● Users receive the secret key and applications for their accounts.
An administrator adds all user applications, and the users receive them with the online account setup of each device.
● Users have to enter a confirmation code to complete the setup.
Administrators configure whether this code is received by e-mail or is shown in the Mobile Device Setup UI.
Administrators can also set the validity of the confirmation code in minutes, the number of characters it contains, the mail server it is sent from, and the e-mail that it is sent with.
● An administrator can set up accounts on behalf of users.
The administrator can perform the initial account setup on the user devices. Users are supposed to complete this simply by entering a confirmation code. For more details about the administrative setup, see Related
Information.
● Users might be asked to configure a password.
When administrators configure the password as mandatory, users will be requested to set a password.
Otherwise, the account setup will be canceled.
● Users scan a QR code that comprises a setup URL or provide the URL manually.
This URL contains the user data for the online account setup and has to be valid for the setup process to succeed.
● Users can update their accounts in SAP Authenticator.
Users can update the applications for an account by choosing the
Update
button in SAP Authenticator. An administrator can change the applications for an account for example, and users will receive these changes via an update.
● Administrators can specify the size of the key used to encrypt the account setup data.
This account data includes the secret key and applications.
Note
Sometimes users might not be able to use an encryption key larger than 128 bits. This is due to the limited strength of Java Cryptography Extension (JCE). For a solution to this problem, see SAP Note 1240081 .
For more information about JCE, see Updating SAP JVM .

1.2.7 Managing User Accounts
You can manage user accounts to resolve issues such as locked accounts, lost or stolen mobile devices, and possible logon XSRF attacks.
Context
You perform actions of this kind for users when they have installed an authenticator application on their mobile devices and have set up their devices in the
Mobile Device Setup
user interface (UI). The authenticator is a mobile application that generates passcodes for systems that require one-time password authentication.
You can perform the following user management actions:
● Advanced user searches
You can filter your user search by passcode length, digest algorithm used for passcode generation, user account expiration (with the
Expires in
field), and user account status (with the
OTP Status
field). If you search by
OTP Status
, you have the following options:
Enabled
(search for users with active accounts);
Expired
(search for users with expired accounts);
Expires soon
(search for users whose accounts are within the expiration warning period defined under the
Settings
tab);
Locked
(search for users whose accounts are locked); and
Not Confirmed
(search for users who have not yet provided the confirmation code and have not canceled the online account setup).
● Unlocking user accounts
You can unlock user accounts if the users need the account before the automatic unlock time has passed. For more information about the additional settings, see Related Information.
● Disabling users
You can disable user accounts, and then users are supposed to remove those accounts from their mobile devices. Users can also disable their accounts in the
Mobile Device Setup
UI if they have more than one registered device.
● Removing remembered clients (persistent cookies)
If you have set this option for single-factor or two-factor authentication under the
Settings
tab of the
One-
Time Password Administration
UI, you can revoke this cookie. You revoke the cookies by choosing the
Unregister Clients
button for the selected users.
● Setting a new validity for user accounts
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide

1.2.8 Using Mobile Single Sign-On
If SAP Authenticator is installed on your mobile devices, you can use mobile single sign-on (SSO), based on onetime password (OTP) authentication. This feature allows you to save applications, which you can access next time without additional authentication (through SSO). You have to configure these applications with
TOTPLoginModule
.
As administrator, you should inform users how they can access these applications. You also have to comply with the URL requirements for these applications. When SAP Authenticator calls the URL, it replaces the [username] part of the URL with the specified account name and the [passcode] part with the generated passcode.
Users Adding Applications
Note
This operation is not applicable for accounts with online setup because applications of these accounts cannot be maintained by users.
Users can add applications to an SAP Authenticator account by scanning a QR code or by typing the application
URL. The URL must have the following format:
44
P U B L I C
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
http(s)://<host>:<port>/<path>?j_username=[username]&j_passcode=[passcode].
Example
Donna Moore is an administrator at company A. She would like to inform the users of her two applications, an
SAP Enterprise Portal application and an SAP Fiori application, how to add the applications in SAP
Authenticator for mobile SSO. Because she has configured the OTP-related logon application and has enabled
Remember client (persistent cookie)
under
Settings
in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI, the QR code is displayed on the logon page. She informs her users that they can scan the QR code on the logon page.
Julie is a user who would like to add these applications in her SAP Authenticator mobile application. Julie adds both Web applications by scanning the QR codes on the applications' logon pages. After doing this, Julie logs on to both applications from SAP Authenticator without entering her username and passcode.
Administrator Setup for SAP Authenticator Users
On the
Devices
tab in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI, below the
SAP Authenticator Configuration
section, administrators can add application bookmarks, or enable short-lived certificate provisioning for the SAP
Authenticator users. They can also define whether a password is mandatory for the usage of the SAP
Authenticator application. Users receive these applications and certificates in SAP Authenticator by going through the online account setup, or once done, by pressing the
Update
button in the SAP Authenticator application.
As an administrator, you can set up the following options for the SAP Authenticator users:
●
SAP Authenticator Password
Set the password for the SAP Authenticator users to be either mandatory or optional. If it is mandatory, the online account setup cannot be completed until the user sets a password for SAP Authenticator.
●
X.509 Certificate Provisioning
Enable or disable the provisioning of short-lived certificates to the SAP Authenticator users. On the mobile device, the certificates are stored in a shared keychain.
Note
Certificate provisioning is available only for iOS mobile devices, and can be used only for SAP signed applications.
●
Set Login Authentication Profile
Choose from the available authentication profiles, defined in the
Secure Login Administration Console
(available at http(s://<host>:<port>/ssoadmin/sls),
Profile Management Authentication
Profiles
. You can view the certificate details on the
Certificate Configuration
tab below the selected authentication profile.
Note
For security reasons, we recommend using short-lived certificates and updating them regularly. Since certificate revocation is not supported, we strongly advise against using long-lived certificates, although this is technically possible.
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide

Caution
When configuring the profile for issuing X.509 certificates in the
Secure Login Administration Console
, you can only use the (AUTH:USERID) variable. The other variables are not supported by SAP Authenticator. If you set any of them, the certificate issuing process will fail.
●
Group for Certificate Provisioning
Specify to the members of which groups the certificate should be provisioned. The groups that administrators can add with the
Edit Groups
button are the ones in the user management engine (UME). If no group is specified, all OTP users receive the certificate.
●
Applications
Administrators can add or remove applications for the SAP Authenticator users. Administrators can also specify members of which groups can access each application. The groups that administrators can add with the
Edit Groups
button are the ones in the user management engine (UME). If no group is specified, all OTP users can log on to the application. SAP Authenticator users receive the changed content during account setup, or with each account update. Online activated accounts cannot be changed on mobile devices manually by the user.
Administrators can also add an application that requires the users to authenticate with their corporate cards.
This is valid only for mobile Single Sign-On scenarios (accessing applications from mobile devices). If you use shared devices (one mobile device is used by more than one user) you can set up the application to require an
NFC card to authenticate every individual user.
To set up this kind of application, proceed as follows:
○ Make sure that the URL of the application matches the following URL format: http(s)://
<host>:<port>/<path>?
j_username=[username]&j_passcode=[passcode]&nfctagid=[nfc.tag.id]&signature=[sig nature]
○ Configure a service user to be used by multiple users on the shared mobile devices. For more information,
see Performing the Administrative Setup [page 42]
.
○ In the UME, add
tagid
as custom attribute of the user profile to the field
Administrator-Managed Custom
Attributes
. For more information, see Adding Custom Attributes to the User Profile .
○ Create a policy script to match the tagID of the card with the authenticating user, and select this policy script on the
Settings
tab of the
One Time Password Administration
UI. You can use this example policy script:
Example function removeEndingZeros(b) {
var len = b.length;
while (len>0 && b[len-1] == 0) {
len--;
}
var result = java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(java.lang.Byte.TYPE, len);
java.lang.System.arraycopy(b, 0, result, 0, len);
return result;
} function hex2String(hex) {
var b = new java.math.BigInteger(hex, 16).toByteArray();
b = removeEndingZeros(b);
var s = new java.lang.String(b, "ASCII");
return s;
} function searchUserByAttribute(name, value) {
var searchFilter = com.sap.security.api.UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserSearchFilter();

var uniqueID = (searchResult.size() == 1) ? searchResult.next() : null;
return uniqueID;
} function onUserIdentified(config, context, result) {
var OTP = "otp";
var logger = context.getLogger();
var authnMethod = context.getLoginInfo().getAuthenticationMethod();
var principalName = context.getLoginInfo().getPrincipal().getName();
var deviceUser = com.sap.security.api.UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(principalN ame);
if (!context.getHttpClientContext().isUrlSignatureValid("signature")) {
result.abortLogin("Access denied");
return;
}
var tagId = context.getHttpClientContext().getParameter("nfctagid");
if (tagId == null) {
result.abortLogin("Access denied");
return;
}
var uniqueID = searchUserByAttribute("tagid", tagId);
if (uniqueID == null) {
result.abortLogin("Access denied");
return;
}
var user = com.sap.security.api.UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUser(uniqueID);
var newPrincipal = context.createPrincipal(user.getUniqueName(), OTP);
result.setPrincipal(newPrincipal);
} function onFirstStageLogin(config, context, result) {
result.doNotRequireSecondFactor();
config.setProperty("tfa.require.user.confirmation", "yes");
}
Users Accessing Applications
Provided that the applications are added in SAP Authenticator, users can access them from their mobile devices through mobile SSO by choosing the
Log on with SAP Authenticator
link. The URL for this link has the following format: sapauthenticator://<host>:<port>/<path>?
j_username=[username]&j_passcode=[passcode].
Example
Donna Moore, as an administrator at company A, would like to allow the company users to log on to SAP
Enterprise Portal with mobile SSO through SAP Authenticator. To do this, she adds SAP Enterprise Portal as an application under the
Device
tab in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI. Because Donna has set the OTPrelated logon application, the link is shown on the logon page. In addition, Donna assigns the
OTP_ONLINE_USER role to her users so they can use the online account setup.
As a user, Michael sets up an account in SAP Authenticator. The account contains the SAP Enterprise Portal application because Michael has used the online account setup. He then opens the application in a browser on

his mobile device and chooses the
Log on with SAP Authenticator
link on the logon page. SAP Authenticator processes the authentication request, and Michael logs on without having to enter his username and passcode.

1.2.9 Opening 3rd Party Mobile Applications with Credentials from SAP Authenticator
You can use the credentials provided from SAP Authenticator to log on to a 3rd party mobile application (short,
3rd party application).
The 3rd party applications could be, for example, an application that runs on AS Java, and is protected with the
TOTPLoginModule, or it can be an application running on a platform as a service provider, and the identity provider is an SAP identity provider protected with the TOTPLoginModule.
These are the two supported scenarios:
● Authenticate in a 3rd party application by starting from SAP Authenticator
● Authenticate in a 3rd party application by starting from the 3rd party application
Authenticate in a 3rd Party Application by Starting from SAP Authenticator
You can use the credentials generated by SAP Authenticator for a particular user to open and log on to a 3rd party application.
Prerequisites
● The 3rd party application handles its own custom scheme <3rd party app scheme>
● SAP Authenticator and the 3rd party application are installed on the same device
Procedure
1. Set up the 3rd party application as a trusted application in SAP Authenticator. The URL of this application must have the following format:
48
P U B L I C
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
<3rd party app scheme>://<host>:<port>/<path>?<3rd party username parameter>=[username]&<3rd party passcode parameter>=[passcode]
For more information on how to add an application, see Using Mobile Single Sign-On [page 44] .
2. Open the 3rd party application by clicking on the application name in SAP Authenticator.
How Does It Work
When you open the 3rd party application from SAP Authenticator, SAP Authenticator verifies whether one or more online accounts are activated. If there is only one account activated, SAP Authenticator replaces the placeholders for the credentials from the URL of the application ([username] and [passcode]) with the credentials for the corresponding account. If more accounts are activated in SAP Authenticator, the user will be asked to choose which account to be used.
The 3rd party application receives the URL with the credentials of the user, which are provided by SAP
Authenticator to authenticate the user. The authentication of the user can happen against any application that can validate the username and passcode.
Note
Keep in mind that the credentials provided by SAP Authenticator are time-based, and the user can authenticate only within the set validity period of the credentials.
Authenticate in a 3rd Party Application by Starting from the 3rd Party
Application
You can use SAP Authenticator to provide credentials for a user to log on to a 3rd party application, by starting from the 3rd party application. The communication between SAP Authenticator and the 3rd party application is done via custom URL schemes.
Prerequisites
● The 3rd party application handles its own custom scheme <3rd party app scheme>
● SAP Authenticator and the 3rd party application are installed on the same device
Procedure
1. Add the URL of the 3rd party application in SAP Authenticator. It must match the following format:
<3rd party app scheme>://<host>:<port>/
Once configured, the application is considered to be trusted application. For more information, see
Mobile Single Sign-On [page 44]
.
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
P U B L I C
49
If the application is not set in SAP Authenticator, the user will get the following error:
To log on, add the site to SAP Authenticator or contact your administrator.
2. On the 3rd party application, configure the 3rd party application URL, to have the following format: sapauthenticator://<host>:<port>/<path>?<3rd party username parameter>=[username]&<3rd party passcode parameter>=[passcode]&x-callbackscheme=<3rd party app scheme>
3. Save your configurations.
After completing these steps, SAP Authenticator and the 3rd party application are configured and you can use the credentials from SAP Authenticator to log on to the 3rd party application.
How Does It Work
Depending on the individual implementation of the 3rd party application, it can be started in various ways. For the cases where credentials are required from SAP Authenticator, it is important that the URL of the 3rd party application has the following format: sapauthenticator://<host>:<port>/<path>?<3rd party username parameter>=[username]&<3rd party passcode parameter>=[passcode]&x-callback-scheme=<3rd party app scheme>
SAP Authenticator recognizes the sapauthenticator scheme, takes the URL and verifies whether one or more online accounts are activated. If there is only one account activated, SAP Authenticator replaces the placeholders for the credentials from the URL of the application ([username] and [passcode]) with the credentials for the corresponding account. If more accounts are activated in SAP Authenticator, the user will be asked to choose which account to be used.
Once the URL contains the credentials, SAP Authenticator returns the following URL to the 3rd party application, by setting the <3rd party app scheme> parameter as scheme to call the 3rd party application:
<3rd party app scheme>://<host>:<port>/<path>?<3rd party username>=[replaced by username]&<3rd party passcode>=[replaced by passcode]
As a result, the 3rd party application receives the URL with the credentials of the user, which are provided by SAP
Authenticator to authenticate the user. The authentication of the user can happen against any application that can validate the username and passcode.
1.2.10 Additional Settings
You can set other passcode properties in the One-Time Password (OTP) Administration user interface (UI), which are applicable for all OTP users and applications.
Context
You can set the following additional properties:
● System name
The system name property indicates the provider of the secret key.

1.2.12 SAP Single Sign-On Configuration for Network Edge
Authentication
Network Edge Authentication (NEA) is based on SAP Web Dispatcher and SAP Single Sign-On products. It provides integrated, simple and secure Web access control for SAP solutions.
Prerequisites
● SSOAUTHLIB.sca for SAP Single Sign-On 3.0 SP01 or higher is installed. For more information, see
Password Authentication Installation and Upgrade Guide [page 4]
.
● SAP Web Dispatcher version 7.51 SP00 or higher is installed and configured. Make sure that you have set the relative path
/nea/v1/authenticate
as part of the absolute URL for the
AUTH_SERVICE
subparameter. For

Authentication in the SAP Web Dispatcher documentation at http://help.sap.com/nw751abap ,
Application

Components of SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP
.
● If you want to use certificates for SSO tokens, for example if you configure X.509 certificate as SSO token type in the SAP Web Dispatcher, you have to install and configure the Secure Login Server, version 3.0 SP01 or higher.
How Does It Work
When a user tries to access a back-end system, the SAP Web Dispatcher forwards the request to the authentication service provided by SAP Single Sign-On. The authentication service triggers the authentication process and after successful authentication, the SSO service issues an SSO token to be used by the SAP Web
Dispatcher for accessing the back-end systems. These tokens could be X.509 certificates or logon tickets.
If logon tickets are used as SSO token type, no additional configuration is required for the Network Edge
Authentication service. You only need to do the standard trust configuration between the system where the authentication service is installed (as issuer of the logon ticket), and the back-end system (as receiver of the logon ticket).
If X.509 certificates are used as SSO token type, you have to configure an authentication profile in the
Secure
Login Administration Console
, as well as the name of this profile as a value for the property
x509_sls_profile_name
for the
sap.com/sso~nea~ear*nea_v1_authenticate
authentication stack on
SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
Caution
When configuring the profile for issuing X.509 certificates in the
Secure Login Administration Console
, you can only use the (AUTH:USERID) variable. The other variables are not supported by the Network Edge
Authentication service. If you set any of them, the certificate issuing process will fail.
For more information, see the SAP Web Dispatcher documentation and the Secure Login Implementation Guide .
54
P U B L I C
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
The authentication stack used for the NEA authentication service is
sap.com/ sso~nea~ear*nea_v1_authenticate
. By default, the NEA authentication service uses the
ticket
authentication stack template. You can change this setting by reconfiguring the authentication stack of the NEA authentication service. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Open SAP NetWeaver Administrator at
http(s)://<host>:<port>/nwa
.
2. Choose
Configuration Authentication and Single Sign-On Authentication Components .
3. Search for
sap.com/sso~nea~ear*nea_v1_authenticate
of type
Web
.
4. Edit the login modules on the
Authentication Stack
tab.
You can set a two-factor or risk-based authentication using the
TOTPLoginModule
, for example.
For more information on how to configure the
TOTPLoginModule
, see
Configuring TOTPLoginModule and
.
1.3 One-Time Password Authentication Developer Guide
In addition to the administration settings, you can develop various scripts to control the authentication process.
The scripts are written in JavaScript language.
All policy scripts are developed in the
Policy Script Administration Console
at http(s)://<host>:<port>/ ssoadmin/scripts. They can be then executed from the
One-Time Password Administration
UI. Only the activated versions of enabled policy scripts of type
Procedure
will be visible in the
One-Time Password
Administration
UI. For more information, see Policy Scripts Implementation Guide .
Note
To create policy scripts in the
Policy Script Administration Console
, you need the
RBA_POLICY_WRITE
user management engine (UME) action or RBA_POLICY_ADMIN UME role assigned to your user. For more information, see Policy Scripts Installation Guide .
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
P U B L I C
55
There are two ways of implementing the policy scripts for OTP authentication: By creating policy scripts, and by reusing a policy script of type
Library
in another policy script.
Note
You can find example scripts in SAP Note 2225027 and in the tutorials of this guide.
Creating Policy Scripts
For the following scenarios you can develop a policy script in the
Policy Script Administration Console
and execute it from the
One-Time Password Administration
UI:
● Controlling the authentication process for risk-based authentication
You can develop a script that defines the authentication method at runtime in accordance with various conditions. You can make a second factor necessary for users logging on from certain locations for example, but only one factor for other locations.
● Setting user permissions for context-based authorization
By using a simple script you can configure the permissions for users to some functionality, without changing the user authorization assignments. For example, you can limit this access when the users authenticate from outside the corporate network. This functionality will be available for the users when they are working from the corporate network.
● Configuring logs and traces
.
● Calling OTP methods in your script functions
In your script, you can call methods in the
onInitialize(...)
,
onFirstStageLogin(...)
,
onSecondStageLogin(...)
, and
other functions. For more information, see Policy Script Functions and Methods [page 57]
.
● Configuring two-factor authentication to use passcodes sent using out-of-band methods.
You can develop scripts for the passcode to be sent via SMS, e-mail or other non-standard methods. For more information, see
Develop a Script for Risk-Based Authentication [page 82]
.
● Configuring validation of a passcode generated by a third-party passcode provider.
You can develop a policy script that checks whether a passcode is valid or not. For more information, see
Develop a Script for External Passcode Validation [page 89] .
● Using the policy script for an application
You can control the authentication for a specific policy configuration (application) by developing a policy script. In this case, you have to specify the policy script for the
Policy
option of TOTPLoginModule.
Reusing Policy Scripts
● You can call a
Library
policy script in another policy script of type
Procedure
with the
include
directive. For more information, see Reusing Policy Scripts .

Working with Policy Scripts
1.3.1 Policy Script Functions and Methods
You can use pre-defined methods in your JavaScript when developing a policy script.
Policy Script Functions
We recommend using the following functions for the policy script methods:
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
*/ function onInitialize(config, context) {
}
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
* @param result - object of type UserIdentifiedLoginResult;
*/ function onUserIdentified(config, context, result) {
}
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
* @param result - object of type FirstStageLoginResult;
*/ function onFirstStageLogin(config, context, result) {
}
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
* @param result - object of type SecondStageLoginResult;
*/ function onSecondStageLogin(config, context, result) {
}
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
*/ function onAbort(config, context) {
}
/*

One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
P U B L I C
57
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
*/ function onLogout(config, context) {
}
You can use the following functions for a context-based authorization:
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
* @param result - object of type FirstStageLoginResult;
*/ function onLimitedAccessSelected(config, context, result) {
}
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
* @param result - object of type FirstStageLoginResult;
*/ function onFullAccessSelected(config, context, result) {
}
You can also use the following function for external passcode validation:
/*
* @param config - object of type PolicyConfiguration
* @param context - object of type PolicyContext;
* @param result - object of type PasscodeValidationLoginResult;
* @param username - object of type String;
* @param passcode - object of type String;
*/ function validatePasscode(config, context, result, username, passcode) {
}

1.3.2 Configuring the One-Time Password Administration UI for Policy Scripts
In the
One-Time Password Administration
UI, you can call a policy script that controls the authentication process for all applications that use TOTPLoginModule with
otp&pwd
mode, provided the login module option for policy scripts is not assigned. This script must be created and activated in the
Policy Script Administration Console
. For more information about creating policy scripts, see the Policy Scripts Implementation Guide.
Note
If you want to create a script for a specific policy configuration (application), you can overwrite the policy script set in the
One-Time Password Administration
UI with the policy option for the TOTPLoginModule. For more information about the login module configuration, see Related Information.
Procedure
1. Log on to the
One-Time Password Administration
UI at http(s)://<host>:<port>/ssoadmin/otp.
2. Choose the
Settings
tab.
Note
To allow applications to use your policy script, make sure that the
Policy
checkbox under the
Two-Factor
Authentication
section is selected.
3. Choose the
Policy Script...
button under the
Two-Factor Authentication
section.
4. Choose one of the following options:
○ Select a policy script from the dropdown list. Only the activated versions of enabled policy scripts of type

1.4 One-Time Password Authentication User Guide
This document provides information about how users can set up an account for their authenticator mobile application.
The authenticator is a mobile application that you install on your mobile devices to generate passcodes. In order to use these passcodes, you have to add an account on your mobile devices.
Note
The OTP setup is compatible with third-party authenticators such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft
Authenticator. If you want to use all the features of OTP authentication however, such as online setup or mobile
SSO, you need SAP Authenticator.

1.4.1 SAP Authenticator Mobile Application
SAP Authenticator is a mobile application that generates passcodes for systems that require one-time password authentication. Passcodes are time-based and valid for one logon attempt, meaning they are more secure than common static passwords.
You can use SAP Authenticator on your mobile device after completing the configuration in the
Mobile Device
Setup
UI. Provided you have a user permission, you can install SAP Authenticator and set up an account on multiple mobile devices. The application runs on iOS and Android mobile operating systems and on Windows
Phone.
Note
If you use SAP Authenticator on Windows Phone, only one account can be supported.
You can set up your account in one of the following ways:
● By regular setup
You add an account and then set the account's applications for mobile SSO manually.
You add an application by scanning a QR code or by entering the application's URL. The QR code can be displayed on the application's logon page. If it is not, this information should be provided by your administrator. After adding the applications, you can log on to them from SAP Authenticator without having to enter a username and passcode (through mobile SSO).
You can also access an account's application by choosing the link for logging on with SAP Authenticator on your mobile device's browser.
● By online setup
You add your account by providing a confirmation code. All applications for mobile SSO are included in the account automatically.
You can also use the
Update
button in SAP Authenticator to include any recent changes of the applications for your account.
Once you have finished the setup process for SAP Authenticator, your mobile device is linked to your user account. From then on, you can use the passcodes generated by the mobile application for the setup account, in order to log on to any systems or applications that require one-time password authentication.
Note
Depending on your administrator's configuration, some logon applications might require you to enter the passcode and password in one field, either concatenated or with a separator.
When you log on to an application, you might see a checkbox with
Trust this device
(when using a device) or
Trust this computer
(when using a computer). You have to provide the two factors when you enable this feature. After the feature is enabled, you log on with one credential only (a passcode or a password for example).

1.4.4 Logging On to Different Systems with One-Time
Passwords
You can log on to systems that require one-time password authentication with passcodes generated by an authenticator mobile application in a number of different ways:
● Log on to systems using Secure Login Client
● Log on to systems using SAML, using Application Server Java as an identity provider (IdP)
● Log on to web applications running on SAP NetWeaver AS for Java
Depending on the administrator's configuration, you need to provide passcodes either for single-factor authentication or for two-factor authentication. The following options are available:
● Single-factor authentication is required.
You log on to applications with a single factor, either a passcode or another credential. This option can also be configured to require two passcodes for higher security.
● Two-factor authentication is required.
You can log on to a system with two means of identification: a user name and a passcode, and another factor for authentication (for example, a corporate password, X.509 certificate or others). This option can be configured to require a single factor after the first successful logon.
● The required factors are determined at runtime.
An application can decide dynamically whether to require a single factor or two factors of authentication.

1.5 One-Time Password Authentication Security Guide
This guide provides recommendations how administrators and developers can secure applications that use onetime password authentication.
Before You Start
One-time password (OTP) authentication allows you to log on to systems using Secure Login Client, or using identity provider or web applications running on AS Java. Before you configure OTP authentication with any of those systems, you should familiarize yourself with the security requirements of the system you are using in your landscape.
● For security information about a system running on AS Java, see
SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java
Security Guide
● For security information about a system using Secure Login, see
Secure Login Security Guide
User Administration and Authentication
With the
One-Time Password Administration
UI, you can manage user accounts in order to solve various security issues. For more information, see
Managing User Accounts [page 43]
.
When you configure user authentication, you should consider the following security recommendations:
● Configure two-factor authentication if your scenario allows it.
We recommend using two-factor authentication when possible, as this requires the user to provide two authentication factors: something the user knows (a password for example), and something the user has (a
102
P U B L I C
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
One-Time Password Authentication Implementation Guide
● If you use single-factor authentication, configure the application to require two distinct passcodes.
We recommend this option as the best protection against malicious attacks. For more information, see
Configuring Single-Factor Authentication [page 28]
.
● If you use single-factor authentication, configure the application to require user confirmation during automatic logon.
We recommend this configuration for mobile single sign-on scenarios where this kind of user confirmation can protect the application from an XSRF logon attack or from a man-in-the-middle attack. For more information, see
Configuring Single-Factor Authentication [page 28] .
● Configure the OTP-related logon application if your scenario allows it.
We recommend the OTP-related logon application, as it protects against XSRF and session fixation attacks.
For more information, see Configuring an OTP-Related Logon Application [page 39] .
Authorizations
To use OTP-related tools, users and administrators need specific roles assigned in SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
We recommend only assigning these roles to the required groups, roles, or users. These assignments are not
Passcode Security
● Digest Algorithm
We recommend using the most secure password generation algorithm for your scenario, such as SHA-512.
For more information, see Additional Settings [page 50]
.
● Passcode length
We recommend using 8-digit passcodes. For more information, see Additional Settings [page 50]
.
Account Protection
● Account locking
Use a minimum number of usable logon attempts before an account is locked in order to balance security and usability. For more information, see
Additional Settings [page 50] .
● Secret key expiration period
Set a reasonable expiration period for the secret key. We recommend 365 days. For more information, see
