Great news. I was able to get this configured. I have no background in SSL or Certificates and figured this out with just the guides and some help from my ADFS Team.
If you are upgrading from GRC 5.3 to Access Controls 10.1, the move from ABAP to JAVA has left you without LDAP. Nobody wants to manage another set of ABAP credentials so this really saved the day. This will be great for all of our ABAP Webdypro applications, from AC 10.1 to HR's ESS to Fiori in the future.
- We already had Microsoft ADFS as an Identify Provider in our company.
- We didn't use any kind of Java Portal to pass through to the ABAP AS.
- We didn't have to license anything like SAP's SSO 2.0.
- I spent about 1 week of effort reading, searching docs and tinkering to finally get it to work.
Good Stuff!
