Hi All,
Background:
A customer has migrated from RCS10.2.1/CS10 to OTDS/CS 16.
They use SAP Portal and integrated the CS Search Result XML into the SAP Portal pages with a URL like this:
cs.exe?func=search&functionMenu=false&findSimilar=false&hitHighlight=false&hhTerms=true&outputformat=xml&lookFor1=complexquery&within1=all&where1=%28%28%22Uebersicht_DE_2014-06-06.pdf%22%29++AND+%28%5BQLREGION+%22Attr_33562_2%22%5D+%211%29+AND+%28%5Bqlregion+%22OTSubType%22%5D+qlrange+%22144%7C145%7C749%22%29+AND+%28%5BQLREGION+%22OTLocation%22%5D+495737+OR+%22%3COTLocation%3E495737%22%29%29&startAt=1&goFor=400&PostTicket=true&PostParams=true
Authentication worked and should happen then with SAPSSOEXT Token Auth handler in OTDS.
The (personalized) result XML would be processed an embedded into the SAP Portal page for about 2000 different users.
Problem:
With RCS 10.2.1 this seemed to be fine, only 302 redirects!
But with the same configuration in OTDS16 the experience the following problem, that the CS always redirects to OTDS via http status 302. After that another redirect, but this time via html form with a redirect. At least, they can’t handle those redirects.
Solution, but:
So they think about to change the technique and want to use webservices.
One step would be to authenticate to OTDS first to receive an OTDS ticket.
There is an example for simple Auth:

So question: they need to authenticate via SAP token. How to do this?
Thanks and Best for all hints!
