Pre-Installation Instructions
A. SAPgui and Kerberos Tickets
Acquire Kerberos tickets. Tickets are required to connect to SAP systems
SAPgui may bring up the Ticket Viewer to prompt you to obtain Kerberos tickets. If not:
You may see an error mentioning 'GSS-API'
SAPgui may stall at 'Connecting..'
Your SAPgui session may freeze. All of these behaviors mean that either you do not have Kerberos tickets, or your Kerberos tickets have expired. To resolve that issue, use the instruction below to get tickets manually.
How to get Kerberos tickets manually

What is the SAP GUI?
The SAP GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a software program on your computer that allows you to access an SAP system. SAP uses a so-called client-server architecture where the SAP system/application resides on a server and you are accessing the system via your computer (which is called the client - see below image for SAP's typical client-server set up).
As the name suggests, this GUI uses an internet browser (such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc.) to login to an SAP system. Simply start your web browser, enter the URL of the SAP system and login – that’s it. The obvious benefit of the HTML GUI (also called the Web GUI) is that there is no software to download or install – a big pro when compared to the other GUI options below. Two distinct disadvantages to the Web GUI, however, are that it tends to be a bit slower to work with and it does not support all SAP functions (i.e. graphical features typically do not render well in the Web GUI).
SAP GUI for Windows
This is the standard, most widely used GUI version. If you run the Windows operating system on your computer, this should be the default choice. However, this SAP GUI needs to be downloaded (big download file = 1 GB!) and installed on your computer first. Once installed, you can add your SAP system connection parameters and then login. This GUI supports all SAP functions and provides the fastest access to an SAP application.
Download Sap Gui For Mac
SAP GUI for Java
Similar to the SAP GUI for Windows, this Java version needs to be downloaded and installed on your computer first. The unique difference of this GUI is that it is ‘platform independent’ – meaning that it can be used on 3 different operating systems: PC/Windows, MAC/iOS and even Linux. If you use a MAC computer, this would be your default choice for the GUI.
