SAP BTP enables AI agent principal propagation for user-specific ABAP API access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This technical guide details how to implement principal propagation for AI agents interacting with SAP BTP. The process ensures that backend REST API calls in ABAP systems are logged and authorized under the individual user's identity, rather than a shared service account. This is achieved by establishing a chain of trust from the user's browser session through SAP BTP Cloud Foundry, the Cloud Connector, and finally to the ABAP ICM layer, where an X.509 certificate verifies the caller. The guide outlines the necessary setup for BTP services and Cloud Connector configuration to enable this secure and auditable user-identity flow. AI

IMPACT Enables more secure and auditable AI agent interactions with enterprise backend systems by preserving user identity.

RANK_REASON The article describes a technical implementation detail for integrating AI agents with an existing enterprise platform, rather than a new product release or core research.

    Principal Propagation with an MCP Server on SAP BTP — End to End

    <p>If you have been building AI agents on top of SAP BTP, you have probably hit this wall: your agent calls a backend REST API and every request lands in the ABAP system under a single shared service account. Audit logs record the service account, not the person behind the reques…
