Installing Duet Enterprise: The SAP side -- A Video Guide
Although Duet Enterprise 1.0 is a platform to connect different systems and bring data into SharePoint 2010 the installation and configuration of the new Service Pack 2 is pretty simple -- especially with the help of the Duet Enterprise Configuration Wizard.

Single Sign On to BSP pages from Duet's Action Pane
Accesing a BSP from your applications can be tricky. Usually the user has to authenticate himself / herself again via basic authentication. If you already have a J2EE Engine that works with SPNego a Single Sign On to your BSP page can be very simple. In Duet, the Action Pane allows you to create and modify links to other web pages. This can be very usful to access additional data. Customers usually know how to develop BSP pages on the ABAP server. In this blog I show how you can access this data without having to log on again.  Oct. 6, 2008
