10 5 User Administration and Authentication uses the user management and authentication mechanisms provided with the SAP NetWeaver platform, specifically the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP. Therefore, the security recommendations and guidelines for user administration and authentication as described in the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP Security Guide also apply to SAP Policy Management, group insurance addon. In addition to these guidelines, we include information about user administration and authentication that specifically applies to in the following topics: User Management [Page 10] This topic lists the tools to use for user management, the types of users required, and the standard users that are delivered with. Integration into Single Sign-On Environments [Page 10] This topic describes how supports Single Sign-On mechanisms. 5.1 User Management Use User management for uses the mechanisms provided with the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP, for example, tools, user types, and password policies. 5.2 Integration into Single Sign-On Environments Use supports the Single Sign-On (SSO) mechanisms provided by SAP NetWeaver. Therefore, the security recommendations and guidelines for user administration and authentication as described in the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide also apply to SAP Policy Management, group insurance add-on. For more information about the available authentication mechanisms, see User Authentication and Single Sign- On in the SAP NetWeaver Library SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. User Administration and Authentication

11 6 Authorizations Use uses the authorization concept provided by the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP or AS Java. Therefore, the recommendations and guidelines for authorizations as described in the SAP NetWeaver AS Security Guide ABAP also apply to. The SAP NetWeaver authorization concept is based on assigning authorizations to users based on roles. For role maintenance, use the profile generator (transaction PFCG) on the AS ABAP and the User Management Engine s user administration console on the AS Java. Note For more information about how to create roles, see Role Administration in the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide in the SAP Help Portal Role and Authorization Concept for SAP Policy Management, group insurance add-on A specific authorization check using an authorization object is integrated into all existing master policy business processes to restrict usage based on the authorization criteria.

14 7 Session Security Protection To increase security and prevent access to the SAP logon ticket and security session cookie(s), we recommend activating secure session management. We also highly recommend using SSL to protect the network communications where these security-relevant cookies are transferred. Session Security Protection on the AS ABAP To activate session security on the AS ABAP, set the corresponding profile parameters and activate the session security for the client(s) using the transaction SICF_SESSIONS. For more information, a list of the relevant profile parameters, and detailed instructions, see Activating HTTP Security Session Management on AS ABAP in the AS ABAP security documentation. Session Security Protection on the AS Java On the AS Java, set the HTTP Provider properties as described in Session Security Protection SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. Session Security Protection

15 8 Network and Communication Security Your network infrastructure is extremely important in protecting your system. Your network needs to support the communication necessary for your business needs without allowing unauthorized access. A well-defined network topology can eliminate many security threats based on software flaws (at both the operating system level and application level) or network attacks such as eavesdropping. If users cannot log on to your application or database servers at the operating system or database layer, then there is no way for intruders to compromise the machines and gain access to the backend system s database or files. Additionally, if users are not able to connect to the server LAN (local area network), they cannot exploit well-known bugs and security holes in network services on the server machines. The network topology for is based on the topology used by the SAP NetWeaver platform. Therefore, the security guidelines and recommendations described in the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide also apply to. For more information, see the following sections in the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide in the SAP Help Portal Network and Communication Security Security Guides for Connectivity and Interoperability Technologies Network and Communication Security Error!

16 9 Application-Specific Virus Scan Profile (ABAP) SAP provides an interface for virus scanners to prevent manipulated or malicious files from damaging the system. To manage the interface and what file types are checked or blocked, there are virus scan profiles. Different applications rely on default profiles or application-specific profiles. To use a virus scanner with the SAP system, you must activate and set up the virus scan interface. During this process, you also set up the default behavior. SAP also provides default profiles.

Application-Specific Virus Scan Profile (ABAP)

17 10 Data Storage Security Use provides no specific data storage security aspects. Activating the Validation of Logical Path and File Names These logical paths and file names, as well as any subdirectories, are specified in the system for the corresponding programs. For downward compatibility, the validation at runtime is deactivated by default. To activate the validation at runtime, maintain the physical path using the transactions FILE (client-independent) and SF01 (client-specific). To find out which paths are being used by your system, you can activate the corresponding settings in the Security Audit Log.

18 11 Data Protection Data protection is associated with numerous legal requirements and privacy concerns. In addition to compliance with general data privacy acts, it is necessary to consider compliance with industry-specific legislation in different countries. This section describes the specific features and functions that SAP provides to support compliance with the relevant legal requirements and data privacy. This section and any other sections in this Security Guide do not give any advice on whether these features and functions are the best method to support company, industry, regional or country-specific requirements. Furthermore, this guide does not give any advice or recommendations with regard to additional features that would be required in a particular environment; decisions related to data protection must be made on a case-bycase basis and under consideration of the given system landscape and the applicable legal requirements. Note In the majority of cases, compliance with data privacy laws is not a product feature. SAP software supports data privacy by providing security features and specific data-protection-relevant functions such as functions for the simplified blocking and deletion of personal data. SAP does not provide legal advice in any form. The definitions and other terms used in this guide are not taken from any given legal source. Glossary Term Personal data Business purpose Blocking Deletion Retention period End of purpose (EoP) Definition Information about an identified or identifiable natural person. A legal, contractual, or in other form justified reason for the processing of personal data. The assumption is that any purpose has an end that is usually already defined when the purpose starts. A method of restricting access to data for which the primary business purpose has ended. Deletion of personal data so that the data is no longer usable. The time period during which data must be available. A method of identifying the point in time for a data set when the processing of personal data is no longer required for the primary business purpose. After the EoP has been reached, the data is blocked and can only be accessed by users with special authorization. Some basic requirements that support data protection are often referred to as technical and organizational measures (TOM). The following topics are related to data protection and require appropriate TOMs: Access control: Authentication features as described in section User Administration and Authentication [Page 10]. Authorizations: Authorization concept as described in section Authorizations [Page 11]. Transmission control / Communication security: as described in section Network and Communication Security [Page 15] and Security Aspects of Data, Data Flow and Processes [Page 9] SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company.

19 Availability control as described in: o Section Data Storage Security [Page 17] o SAP NetWeaver Database Administration documentation on the SAP Help Portal o SAP Business Continuity documentation in the SAP NetWeaver Application Help under Function-Oriented View Solution Life Cycle Management SAP Business Continuity Separation by purpose: Is subject to the organizational model implemented and must be applied as part of the authorization concept. Caution The extent to which data protection is ensured depends on secure system operation. Network security, security note implementation, adequate logging of system changes, and appropriate usage of the system are the basic technical requirements for compliance with data privacy legislation and other legislation. Configuration of Data Protection Functions Certain central functions that support data protection compliance are grouped in Customizing for Cross- Application Components under Data Protection. Additional industry-specific, scenario-specific or application-specific configuration might be required. For information about the application-specific configuration, see the application-specific Customizing in SPRO Privacy and Data Protection No personal or sensitive data is stored.

22 14 Services for Security Lifecycle Management The following services are available from Active Global Support to assist you in maintaining security in your SAP systems on an ongoing basis. Security Chapter in the EarlyWatch Alert (EWA) Report This service regularly monitors the Security chapter in the EarlyWatch Alert report of your system. It tells you: Whether SAP Security Notes have been identified as missing on your system. In this case, analyze and implement the identified SAP Notes if possible. If you cannot implement the SAP Notes, the report should be able to help you decide on how to handle the individual cases. Whether an accumulation of critical basis authorizations has been identified. In this case, verify whether the accumulation of critical basis authorizations is okay for your system. If not, correct the situation. If you consider the situation okay, you should still check for any significant changes compared to former EWA reports. Whether standard users with default passwords have been identified on your system. In this case, change the corresponding passwords to non-default values. Security Optimization Service (SOS) The Security Optimization Service can be used for a more thorough security analysis of your system, including: Critical authorizations in detail Security-relevant configuration parameters Critical users Missing security patches This service is available as a self-service within SAP Solution Manager, as a remote service, or as an on-site service. We recommend you use it regularly (for example, once a year) and particularly after significant system changes or in preparation for a system audit. Security Configuration Validation The Security Configuration Validation can be used to continuously monitor a system landscape for compliance with predefined settings, for example, from your company-specific SAP Security Policy. This primarily covers configuration parameters, but it also covers critical security properties like the existence of a non-trivial Gateway configuration or making sure standard users do not have default passwords SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company.
