Are authentication and SSO connected with Central User Administration (CUA)?
No. Central User Administration simply centralizes the administration of user and role data across a large number of SAP systems. The data contained there only applies after the user has already logged on; authentication and, if appropriate, Single Sign-On have therefore already taken place. Setting up a CUA therefore does not affect authentication and SSO procedures in any way; however, it does provide the basis for the use of SAP Logon Tickets due to the assignment of uniform cross-system user names. Implementing CUA also does not provide any form of password synchronization between the central and child systems. Initial passwords are an exception to this rule, and it is also possible to reset passwords. This can be done both in the local child systems and in the central system (with distribution to selected systems).
