As a SAP Administrator I often get questions on trusted RFC connections. I also noticed on
the SDN forums that there are often questions regarding the setup.
All in all it’s not that hard but it’s like that with a lot of configurations and setups, you just
have to know how to do it properly and it will cause less issues.
A trusted connection between SAP systems means you can logon across system boundaries
without a password transfer.
First you have transaction SM59 where you need to define a RFC connection towards the
target system you want to enable as trusted in your source system.
For example:
On your source SAP system AA1 you want to setup a trusted RFC towards target system
BB1. When it is done it would mean that when you are logged onto AA1 and your user has
enough authorization in BB1, you can use the RFC connection and logon to BB1 without
having to re-enter user and password .
In transaction SM59 on AA1 define an R3 type RFC connection(connection type 3) towards
BB1.
Choose the right option in MDMP & Unicode (is your target Unicode yes or no). We assume
BB1 is Unicode in this example as it will be like that for most SAP system with a recent
release level.
Now you can first test this RFC connection to see if it works, if you run into problems you
need to fix them before continuing.
This can be done using Utilities -> Connection Test, Authorization Test and Unicode Test
Now the R3 RFC connection is made, we can continue to the next step. Go to transaction
SMT1 and click the create button.
Fill in the previously created RFC connection name
Click yes
Yes
Remove the user from the logon and select “Current User”.
