Multiple LDAP Sources for Portal

Per the HELP docs and other forum suggestions, I uploaded a new XML file and called it multildap_datasource.xml
After uploading, it does NOT appear in the drop-down list of files to pick? Am I missing something here?

Hi,
Check if you get any error message.
also check in the configuration adapter to see if the file uploaded.

  • CUA as data source for portal UME

    Hi all
    We want to use the CUA system as the data source for our EP6's UME.
    Obviously our end users do not login to the CUA system and therefore have no password to this system. It doesn't seem rational to provide them a password to this system, but then again which password will they use?
    I'm guessing that this is the case for most of the SAP customers.
    Does this mean that we can't use the CUA as the UME data source?
    If any of you use the CUA as the UME, we'd be very glad to hear your solution to this situation (we can't use one of the child systems as the UME).
    Thanks,
    Yeti

    Hi Yeti,
    My remarks below will not answer your question but it will help you with some decision on your UME data source.
    As far as I know, most Portal use LDAP as their main UME datasource. This is largely due to the fact that LDAP contains ALL the users that are "employee" of the company. As for CUA, it does not contain ALL your users which could pose a problem for you when you want to execute certain Portal functions (or management approval flows) which require users who does not exist in your CUA (but exist in LDAP).

  • Enforcing LDAP Policy for Portal....

    Hello all,
    We have used Microsoft ADS as user data source for Portal. Also we have certain security policies applied for all the users present in AD Server like changing the password when login for the first time. What if I want to apply the same security policies for portal?
    As when I login to Portal for the first time it is giving me error that authentication failed, rather than asking to change the password.
    We are on EP7 SP9.
    Thanks in advance ,
    Amol

    Hello Michael,
    The problem is that there are some external users who are not logging to their desktop in domain.....but their user-ids are created in AD..now they will be logging to portal for the first time... and like normal other users i want they shld change their password on first logon to portal...how can i achieve this?
    Thanks for reply,

  • Multiple data sources for 1 info object

    hi all,
    i am working with ods 0fiap_003 info source overview u can see for 0comp_code
    Company Code: Attributes and Tests (Flexible Update) this is a transaction data  data source.
    G/L Account: Attributes (Flexible Update) this is a transaction data  data source
    G/L Account: Texts (Flexible Update) 0GL_ACCOUNT_TEXT   this is a transaction data  data source
    and there r master data data sources for these objects
    G/L Account  hierarchy text  attributes r available.
    so only for 0gl_account  5 data sources available.
    3 master data ds.2 flexible data trans data data sources.same for comp code.
    so how can we map for these 5 dsources  in this scenario.
    i am going to create process chains for master data(3) transaction data(1).
    should i put trans .data  info packages in the transaction data process chain
    ex: G/L Account: Attributes (Flexible Update) this one.
    plz suggest me
    regards
    sridhar

    Hi Sri,
    There can be multiple datasources assigned to a single master object. Only they should be unique per source system.
    Regarding process chain, u should include the infopackage for transaction data in trans data process chain. This is because ur job scheduling for master and transaction load would differ. So the process chains should be separate.

  • Solution Manager as a  source for Portal UME

    Is it possible to  to configure in EP 7, that UME source is Solman Abap clietn? We are using Solman as central CUA client too. Can one ABAP system can be user source for several ABAP?
    Thank You
    Vladimit

    Hi Vladimir
                                   It is possible to use Sol Man as your User Data Source.
    Also one ABAP system can act as a source for several other abap based systems.

  • Link ECC roles to Portal roles (Portal is using LDAP source for UME)

    Hi all,
    If a user is assigned a certain ECC ABAP role, they should also receive a related portal role.  Our portal is using LDAP.
    If our portal ume source was an ABAP system, I think it would be easy to achieve the ECC to ABAP role linkage.
    We were thinking of developing a UME java webservice and have an ABAP proxy class consume it to allow our abap system to assign the correct portal role, and delete the portal role.
    Any other ideas?

    Rajendra,
    Thx for your reply.  Can you provide any more details as to the design of your solution with the web service?  We are thinking of running a batch job nightly with a some mapping table in ECC to determine what ABAP role should link to the portal group then call the webservice to add the user to the portal group or delete the user from the portal group. 
    A second question is...does SAP Identity Manager offer any solution for this type of requirement?
    Thanks

  • Multiple LDAP to Single Portal Integration

    Hi All,
            We are attempting to configure a Portal to pull users from multiple Active Directory sources.  I noticed SAP has posted an example of how to configure this, link below
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/89/c5fd430b63c74bbdfaa5f2ec9bb20b/frameset.htm
    The issue I am having is that the supplied default sap configuration file "dataSourceConfiguration_ads_readonly_db.xml" which only configures one directory to connect into the UME is 220 lines long, whereas the example given above to connect two directories  is 39 lines long and missing a lot of variables. 
    Does anyone have any working examples of a configuration file that is pulling from multple directories??

    Hey Mickey,
    yes I'm almost positive that this is possible.
    I could be wrong but this is what I'm thinking:
    On your dns server create 2 entries
    X.Yourcompany.com
    Y.Yourcompany.com
    point both to your portal URL
    yourcompany/portal/server.pt
    create 2 new experience rule using the first option in the rule manager "If portal url is any of the following url's".
    Attach a custom experience definition to each rule and create a different landing page for each experience definition.
    In actuality I don't think you can select a "PAGE" but only a "Community" for the landing.
    I'm hazy on the dns terms - but I think the concept is correct.

  • Multiple LDAP directories for authentication

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to GroupWise 2014 (from 2012). In GW2012 I used LDAP authentication against eDir. In GW2014, I associated the GW mailboxes to Active Directory. I tested a few accounts and I can login just fine. However I also have mailboxes that have to authenticate to eDir, because (for now) they don't have AD equivalent accounts.
    To achieve this, I also added the eDirectory as a directory in the GW admin console. I then enabled LDAP authentication in the Post Office security settings, without adding the "Available LDAP Servers" to the "Selected LDAP Servers" box.
    When I logon to a mailbox that is associated to eDir, it allows me to logon. I do have a mailbox that doesn't allow me to logon, although it is associated to eDir. When I re-associate (remove-add) it, it works for a while only to stop working again. It's not entirely stable.
    In the POA log, I see the following message: Alert: Utilize LDAP server which is not in the pool configuration! So it would seem it doesn't particularly like my setup.
    Questions:
    * Is what I'm trying to achieve not supported or am I configuring it wrong?
    * If I add the "Available LDAP Servers" to the "Selected LDAP Servers" box will it use it a failover pool and thus mess up my mixed-directory authentication?
    * Is it possible to use GroupWise authentication for some mailboxes and AD authentication for others. If so, it would take away the need to use eDir.
    Iwan

    It's not an error, just informational. The LDAP AUTH code for the POA has changed somewhat in 2014. Before, it used to only use LDAP servers in a pool, but now, it will first try any LDAP servers/directories in it's "Preferred list", but if it can't not find the user using that list, it will then proceed to try all other LDAP servers that are configured.

    Hi,
    I am able to authenticate to AD en edir within the same PO. I would like
    to phase out edir as maintaining two directories is not ideal. The only
    reason I still use edir is for those few GW accounts that do not have AD
    counterparts and for which I do not want to create AD accounts. So using
    LDAP(AD) together with GW auth would be ideal for me. I'll look into
    creating a second PO for this purpose.
    I just wonder why the POA log keeps displaying the following message, if
    having multiple directories in a single PO is supported: "Utilize LDAP
    server which is not in the pool configuration!"

  • Multiple Data Source (for FAILOVER) in Easy Connect Naming method

    Hi All,
    I was wondering if there is a way to specify multiple addresses as part of data source property in the connection string when trying to connect to Oracle with Easy Connect Naming method? this is basically for failover scenario.
    I know its straight forward, if i use Connect Descriptor. But not sure how to do it with EZConnect
    For ex. this is what I want to achieve with EZConnect
    sales.us.example.com=
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS_LIST=
    (LOAD_BALANCE=off)
    (FAILOVER=ON)
    *(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales1-server)(PORT=1521))*
    *(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales2-server)(PORT=1521)))*
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=sales.us.example.com)))
    I appreciate your suggestions...
    Thanks

    You might get better answers in one of the DB forums from a generic fail-over perspective as EZconnect isn't specific to ODP.NET.
    I don't know if there's a way to do it or not with EZConnect version of the connect string, but you can certainly provide the fully qualified connect string without using tnsnames.ora..
    constring = "data source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=off)(FAILOVER=ON)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales1-server)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sales2-server)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=sales.us.example.com))); user id=scott;password=tiger"

  • Impossible to configure multiple data sources for EJB's in a single project

    Hello everyone,
    I have jDev 10.1.3 installed and I'm doing some research on EJB 3.0. In the jDev help files, it is mentioned that a project can contain only one EJB module. Correct me if I'm wrong but to me, this means that there is only one data source configured for a module/project.
    But what if I need 2 EJB's linked to 2 different data source in my project? Is the only solution available is to create 2 different project and add one ejb to a project and the other ejb to the second project and then add the second project as a project dependency to the first project?
    Thank you for your help
    Alex

    Multiple Datasources may be injected into a EJB 3.0 entity bean POJO with resource injection.

  • Adding multiple data sources for P6 Analytics Star 3.4

    I need to extract data from 3 data sources and put into one star. I installed the necessary software, did the necessary configurations as per the documentation provided.
    Example:

    C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl02
    C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl03
    When I run the staretl process for 2nd source or 3rd source, I am not sure why the startetl.properties in C:\star_1\star\etl_homes\staretl\res is getting updated (Source changes to 2nd source or 3rd source as per the run). DBLINK01 is also getting changed.
    Please advise.

  • Multiple data sources for a (advanced)datagrid?

    Hi all,
    I have two arrays of objects coming in from two different sources keyed on a single column called "id". They have the exact same column structure. I want to show these in a grouped column structure in advanced data grid. The question is can I do that without manually merging the two arrays?
    Concrete example:
    Array1: [{id:1, name:"Cooper", zip:"94536"},
                 {id:2, name:"Corolla", zip:"94404"}]
    Array2: [{id:1, name:"One", zip:"94555"},
                 {id:2, name:"Camry", zip:"94403"}]
    This will look like:
    Id
    Name
    Zip
    Source1
    Source2
    Source1
    Source2
    1
    Cooper
    One
    94536
    94555
    2
    Corolla
    Camry
    94404
    94403
    I would like to do this without creating an array like:
    [{id:1, name1:"Cooper", name2:"One", zip1:"94536", zip2:"94555"},
    {id:1, name1:"Corolla", name2:"Camry", zip1:"94404", zip2:"94403"}]
    Charts are quite good at this since you can assign different data sources to different series and the axis defines the key on which the data will be merged. However, I could not find anything similar for tables.
    Any pointers?
    Thanks so much!

    Come to think of it, is this even possible? How does a datagrid use its dataField parameter to lookup data? I am guessing data_array[row_index][col.dataField] would determine the value of a single cell at row_index and col. If so, my naive approach would require me to override the bracket operator so that the appropriate value is returned..
    e.g. when a simple array of objects is used, you have [{name:John, lastname:Smith}], datagridcolumns dataField is then set to "name". Now I will have two separate arrays:
    arr1: [{name:John, lastname:Smith}]
    arr2: [{name:Smith, lastname:John}]
    mergedarray will have a reference to both of them. Then when getKey("name", 1) is called, it will return a special key which can be used to access the name property from array 1, something like "name1". If I cannot override the bracket operator, mergedarray[0][name1] will return nothing.
    I remember reading somewhere that this kind of override is not possible. Any ideas?

  • Multiple admin sources for one administrator

    I'm looking for advice please.
    I barely manage my way through this but have used timbuktu for several years. I have had to move the network and change hardware and now want to resetup, I would need new licenses.
    I'm wondering if the 10 seat ARD would be better (and more Mac-like, which would give me a chance), as the only administrator I work from 2 offices and sometimes on a laptop. Does the software allow me to do that, I know its only single administrator but would it allow that single admin to work from different machines - which when not used by the admin would be client machines. Or do I ask too much?

    It depends on exactly what you're asking. If you're asking if it's possible with ARD to have multiple administrators for a given client system, yes, it is. If you're asking if the license for ARD allows you to install a single copy of the ARD administrator application on more than one system, then sorry but no, it's not, even if the admin systems will not be used simultaneously. If you want the ARD admin application on more than one system, you have to buy the appropriate number of copies of ARD.
