Summary :
This SAP Note outlines specific user and login requirements for SAP installations using Microsoft SQL Server. Essential users include SAPServiceSID, sidadm, and SAPMssXPUser, each assigned varying server roles and responsibilities. For database connectivity, SAP uses integrated security, strongly discouraging SQL logins in ABAP-based environments, while necessary for Java-based applications. The note highlights the importance of secure configurations and references a VB script in note 1294762 for managing SQL logins. Additional guidelines for managing and securing database logins such as 'sid' and 'SAPDB' are provided, particularly noting the security configurations during upgrades or routine operations.
