EXPERT RESPONSE
Most companies are using SAP's password security as delivered. A relatively small percentage of companies are using active directory integration to support single sign-on. Some companies are using third-party authentication tools that may be linked to the active directory or other identity management services.
The size of a single sign-on undertaking can vary significantly based on underlying technology. Companies that use Microsoft for their SAP application servers are at a decided advantage, as Microsoft has delivered SSO options that can be quickly integrated to SAP. Single sign-on is an increasingly important opportunity as enterprises expose more SAP functionality to Web-based interfaces and integrate more applications across various platforms.
