Hi all -
We are assisting a client w an upgrade from XI3.1 to BI4.0. Noticing a huge difference in the performance between SSO and direct connection. When running a WebI [BI4.0] report with a connection that has dedicated user credentials, the prompts screen comes up in 2-3 secs. However, when running another report (having the same BEx query as source) using a connection with SSO, it takes anywhere between 30-45 secs for the prompts screen to come up. The actual report run time is more or less the same. Client is not using SNC in BW for their SSO, rather using token based authorization. They also have a similar behavior with their HANA Enterprise connections.
They turned off SNC in SAP for their authentication. Instead they use Win AD to authenticate. From what we understand, it is handled by passing a logon ticket between the systems.
Any advice appreciated,
Johannes
