The digital revolution is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, placing security and performance at the forefront of business priorities. Remote Function Calls (RFCs) play a vital role in these priorities, enabling seamless data exchange but often acting as a gateway to vulnerabilities. This session will explore how businesses can harness the synergy of SAP's Unified Connectivity (UCON) framework and sound authorization management to bolster security and efficiency in RFCs. SAP UCON adds a robust layer of protection by preventing unnecessary external access to Remote Function Modules (RFMs). However, while UCON restricts external access, it doesn't regulate user-level access; that's where tailored authorizations come into play. By effectively reauthorizing RFC users, the risks of over-privileged RFC interfaces and corresponding technical users can be minimized without hindering operational flow. The combination of these two elements offers a comprehensive solution for securing and optimizing your SAP systems.
You will:
- Gain practical insights into how these tools can be used, potential challenges that might be encountered, and how to maximize their potential to benefit your business operations.
- Explore how to configure and leverage SAP UCON for RFC interface security, and the critical role of the default communication assembly.
- Understand why SAP UCON is not a standalone solution and why proper user-level authorization management is required.
- Learn how XAMS enhances role building and testing, streamlines RFC authorization creation, and optimizes RFC interfaces with minimal operational disruption.
- Learn the synergistic benefits of utilizing both SAP UCON and XAMS in securing and optimizing SAP systems, including an understanding of the dual-check process in SAP's security framework.
- Discover best practices and practical steps for harnessing the power of standard solutions in your SAP system.
