SAP GUI is SAP's universal client for accessing SAP functionality in SAP applications such as - SAP ERP, SAP Business Suite (SAP CRM, SAP SCM and SAP PLM), SAP Business Intelligence and so on. SAP GUI functions like a browser. It gets information from the SAP server like what, where, when and how, to display contents in its window. All members of the SAP GUI family have unique attributes that make them especially suited for different user environments. SAP GUI comes in the following three different flavors:
SAP GUI for Windows
SAP GUI for Windows is an implementation especially designed for the Windows operating system, providing a Windows-like user experience and integration with other applications, based on OLE interfaces or ActiveX controls.

SAP GUI for the Java Environment
SAP GUI for the Java environment is a unified SAP frontend for multiple platforms. It is based on a platform-independent architecture and Java implementation. As a major benefit, it provides access to SAP applications that are based on Control-Enabling and therefore used to be reserved for Windows users in the past. Please, note that SAP GUI for Java is also available on Windows.
SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI for HTML automatically maps the screen elements in SAP transactions to HTML using HTML Business functions available within the SAP Internet Transaction Server. A web browser is sufficient to access almost all transactions. Please note: Since SAP GUI for HTML is an application running on the ITS, you find corresponding information on the ITS Wiki page. The SAP Screen Personas 3.0 editor is run in the SAP GUI for HTML after you install the SAP Screen Personas add-on.

General Information
Frontend Network Requirements (SAP Support Portal Login required!)
Distributed landscapes today lead to the fact that an increasing number of users connect to a central system from dispersed sites with varying degrees of available bandwidth. As a consequence, user access is through local area network (LAN) and wide area network WAN (dial-up, frame relay, Internet, etc.). This paper contains a description of SAP's frontend characteristics from both a LAN and a WAN perspective.
Please note that this paper does not discuss server-to-server traffic or printing.
SAP GUI Technical Infrastructure
The purpose of this guide is to give you an understanding of the different SAP GUI types, their specific properties and how they communicate with the SAP system. Also, it explains the performance requirements of the infrastructure and describes trouble-shooting options.

SAP Screen Personas provides a simple, drag and drop approach to simplify many common SAP screens to make them more usable as well as more visually appealing. IT departments and authorized end-users can modify screens using their own unique knowledge of which information they need on the screen to optimize usability and productivity. SAP Screen Personas works with ECC (starting with NetWeaver 7.00 SP25 or higher) through SAP S/4HANA.
GuiXTGuiXT allows you to simplify transactions without having to modify them. You can hide screen elements that you do not need, or add elements such as checkboxes, pushbuttons, graphics, and documentation.

Summary
How to implement the Single-sign on with Kerberos using SAPGUI for JAVA 7.00,
Install Kerberos in OSX
To start to use Single-sign On (SSO) in Mac environments we need install the Kerberos/Seclude library in our system.
If you don’t have installed ,you can download from : http://db.tt/IclHWMLV
This TAR file have 2 files
- sncgssec.dyld for PowerPC (Secude framework must already be installed!)
- sncgssk5.dyld for Universal
Select the better library for you and rename to sncgss.dyld , then copy to “/usr/local/lib” or “/usr/lib” directory. If you want use another directory, you have to set the SNC_LIB environment variable to the location of the library.
i.e. export SNC_LIB=/mnt/server/lib/sncgss.dyld (for bash)
or set the user environment via file “~/.MacOSX/environment.plist” (see Developer Connection Technical QA 1067 and Property List Editor Application which comes with the Developer Tools)
Configure Kerberos
If you work like consultant, usually you don’t include your MAC in the client domain, for use SSO you only need type your password the first time when you logon, and then you have SSO until the ticket expire.
You need to setup the krb5.conf file in /etc with the follow lines :
- [logging]
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log - admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log
[libdefaults]
ticket_lifetime = 24000
default_realm = SUB.DOMAIN.NET
default_realm = SUB.DOMAIN.NET
default_tkt_enctypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
default_tgs_enctypes = des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
[realms]
SUB.DOMAIN.NET = {
kdc = server_hostname.sub.domain.net
kdc = server_hostname.sub.domain.net
admin_server = server_hostname.sub.domain.net
default_domain = sub.domain.net
}
}
[domain_realm]
.sub.domain. = SUB.DOMAIN.NET
.sub.domain. = SUB.DOMAIN.NET
server_hostname.sub.domain.net = SUB.DOMAIN.NET
Configure Sap Logon
First of all, you need to configure your SAP Logon, in this example we configure the guimsg.txt in the preference panel with file:/Library/Preferences/SAP/guimsg.txt,
Click in New
Click in the drop box of System and select ELD
The SAPGUI show the Group/Servers for Load balance, select the right option and click Security
In the Security TAB you see the SNC Name of the server, click in “Enable Secure Network Communication” and Save.
When you try to logon, the system ask your DOMAIN password
Now you can start to use the SSO
