After moving to the SAP NetWeaver Cloud team this year I've talked to my team mates about creating a series of videos around specific topics in the SAP NetWeaver Cloud world. They all thought it was a great idea and my new team mate Matthias Steiner provided the name for this series: "DevTalks".
After learning from Matthias that we even have a song for the intro of the videos ("Neo - Flying in the clouds" from SAP Mentor Matt Harding, thanks Matt!!) I've asked my colleague Martin Raepple if he'd be willing to talk about a very interesting topic - Identity & Access Management in SAP NetWeaver Cloud. He's the Product Owner of this topic in the SAP NetWeaver Cloud team.
With the video below you'll get a good overview on how SAP NetWeaver Cloud runs the identity management on SAML. Other protocols (e.g. oAuth) are already in the pipeline.
After watching this video you might want to get your hands dirty with coding and configuring. So for those of you who can't resist to try out what Martin was talking about, Martin created a series of tutorials around SSO (Single-Sign-On) and Identity Federation on SAP NetWeaver Cloud. You can also download his xLeave application as a war file or the complete source code.
For those of you who'd like to learn how to use oAuth in SAP NetWeaver Cloud I recommend the corresponding oAuth blog from Chris Paine. Thanks Chris for writing this up!
That's all for now. We'll come up with more videos for you soon covering other topics in the SAP NetWeaver Cloud area. And with that you'll also get to know some of the developers behind this great product.
For those of you who don't know how to start with SAP NetWeaver Cloud: visit the developer center for SAP NetWeaver Cloud and get started quickly.
Have fun,
