Data Description
The SM04 event is used to monitor HTTP(s) security sessions in an ABAP system. It can be used to find active HTTP sessions, the users associated with them, and the logon method used (e.g., password, X.509, SAML).
Potential Use Cases
This event could be used in the following scenarios:
-
Investigating logon failures: If a user is unable to log in via a specific method like X.509, SM05 can confirm if the certificate is being processed correctly.
-
Performance analysis: SM05 can help identify if an excessive number of sessions are being created, which could point to a performance issue.
-
Check cache utilization: SM05 shows the percentage of free sessions. If the "HTTP security context cache is full" error appears in the system logs (SM21).
SAP Navigation
Log in to the managed system and execute the SM05 transaction code. The data that is displayed will match the data that is extracted and sent to the end points.
