Example scenario
You have two systems:
-
System A is a standalone Infor system (for example SXe or EAM).
-
System B is a Grid application (for example IDM or IES).
-
System A’s server component only has access to the username of the current user and the system’s own session for the user.
-
The call from system A to system B must be on behalf of a particular user. Since A’s server component does not have access to the user’s credentials it cannot log on as the user to system B. The call must be executed as another user than the identity that performs the call.
