SAP HR to LDAP Server Integration

Dear Experts,
We are trying to integrate HR data from SAP ECC to an LDAP server using the built in LDAP connector settings in ECC.
It is working well with the exception that the KEY field from HR is being populated into one of the spare fields on Activie Directory. Is there anyway to prevent this. It is required in the LDAP Mapping synchronization but is not required in LDAP server.
We have tried the various combinations of import and export parameters but nothing works.
Many thanks in advance.

Portal and Netscape LDAP server integration

Hi,
I am trying to integrate Netscape LDAP server (6.0) with portal server 7, but
having lots of trouble doing that.
I've followed the instructions in the developer guide and completed the following
steps:
1. added a CustomRealm named defaultLDAPRealmForNetscapeDirectoryServer in config.xml
and modified the entries to fit my environment.
2. Deployed ldapprofile.jar and customized the env variables.
After these two steps, nothing happened. Then I did the third step:
3. added a iPlanet Authenticator to the realm CompatibilityRealm, which is my
default realm for the server.
However, after step 3, I wasn't able to boot weblogic server. Please note I have
create two users, system and weblogic in my LDAP server.
I copied the stack trace below. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot Scott. I followed your instructions and got it working to a certain
degree. I am pretty happy about the results.
There are still a few issues:
1. I had to create groups and users in my directory server in order to boot up
and logon to the server. This is expected, but is it possible to export these
user/group settings from the embedded LDAP server so that I can import them into
my directory server? Currently, the only way is manual and it's error prone. A
lot of trial and error has to happen to get there.
2. It seems that using Netscape LDAP server only allows read-only access. This
means we have to create new users/groups outside of the portal server and one
other side effect is self-registration is impossible, unless we use custom security
providers. Is this assessment correct? Since LDAP integration is so important,
wouldn't it be nice if BEA have that built-in and all we need to do is to switch
to and configure it?
3. I got duplicate users and groups in compatibility security. Obviously, one
set is from my LDAP server and the other is from the embedded one. I tried to
remove to embedded LDAP authenticator, but the duplicates are still there. How
can I get rid of the duplicates - I only want the ones from my LDAP server?
Thanks again Scott.

Weiguo,
WLP 7.0 uses a compatibility realm only and will not work with the
custom realm that you created for the Netscape directory server.
Configuring an LDAP compatibility realm isn't too bad and its
configuration is much like 4.0. However, it can be hard to configure
initially from the console. One way is to shut your server down and
modify config.xml directly - but make sure you make a backup copy first!
Then add something like:
<CachingRealm BasicRealm="myRealm" CacheCaseSensitive="true"
Name="wlcsCachingRealm"/>
<CustomRealm
ConfigurationData="user.filter=(&(uid=%u)(objectclass=person));
user.dn=ou=people,dc=beasys,dc=com;
server.principal=uid=dirmanager,ou=people,dc=beasys,dc=com;
membership.filter=(&(uniquemember=%M)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames));
group.filter=(&(cn=%g)(objectclass=groupofuniquenames));
server.host=somehost.beasys.com;
group.dn=ou=groups,dc=beasys,dc=com"
Name="myRealm" Password="your_password_here"
RealmClassName="weblogic.security.ldaprealmv2.LDAPRealm"/>
will enable your LDAP server. After this is setup it will be much
easier to configure via the console. Obviously you'll need to update
the parameters above for your configuration.

Integrating existing staff database and LDAP server - where to start?

Hi,
I really hope you guys can help me out here. Basically I have an Oracle based staff database and an LDAP server for global intranet application authentication. Now I've been tasked with implementing Oracle Portal for a local Intranet site, adding the usual static HR info, but also writing an editor for the staff database, some reports on other databases, and some simple workflows to authorise page updates, etc. I'm kind of stumped on where to start in integrating everything together. What's the best approach? Can I simply rewrite the views used by the portal to look at my staff tables, or do I need to refresh into the portal somehow? That being the case, how do I prevent users editing their data (as it'll be overwritten) Is it easy to authenticate against a third party LDAP server? If so, how? Plug-in in OID? Can I change the views in the portal to look at the data in my existing staff DB instead of the local portal tables? Many questions, I know, but Oracle's documentation is like diet food - lots of bulk with very little by way of calories. Getting very disillusioned with the whole thing to be honest, so some motivational success stories would be nice too!
Regards,
G Walker
PS/ So far all I'm struck with is the number of bugs I've come across, and that's without doing anything fancy...

Here is a link to a tutorial regarding AS2/PHP/MySQL that might be helpful. You may need to search for database-specific tutorials as well.

Role of LDAP server in portal

HI
Can any one tell me what is the role of LDAP server in portal
Thanks
shashank

Hi Shashak,
if you use the LDAP Server as UME User Store, the security policy from the LDAP server is enforced. This means that if the data source has defined its own security policy, there is no standard interface to pass on any error messages received from the data source to the UME user in the same level of detail and in the correct language. The user only receives a very generic error message. Therefore, you would need to adapt the Portal security policy accordingly. You can find some further information under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7f/c52442ad9f5133e10000000a155106/frameset.htm.

LDAP Server Monitoring in Solution manager

Hi Expert ,
Is it possible to monitor the LDAP Server in Solution Manager.
If yes then how should i proceed

Hi Kamal,
The monitoring setup for non-SAP software is actually not done on the solution manager system itself. The solution manager gets its feed of alert information from the satellite systems... specifically from CCMS.
For SAP systems, alerts from CCMS are activated and set up by default for the SAP environment. For third-party systems you have to be able to set up the interface to feed monitoring information from your non-SAP software to SAP's CCMS infrastructure.
You can get some information on CCMS agents via the website at http:
service.sap.com\monitoring. Go to 'System Monitoring and Alert Management' -> 'Monitoring in Detail'
I hope this information helps.

SAP Archive Link and DMS integration configuration

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have always come across that SAP DMS is very well integrated with SAP Archive link, is that means SAP Archive link can be used as an storage location for storing original application files, in normal DMS check in original CV01N transaction.
does this Archive link appear as an option to be selected to store the original application file at CV01N Transaction, just like we get DMS_C1_ST (default SAP) or any ZDMS_SC01/02 (customised Storage catagories for checking in originals.)
another side iam also comming across SAP Archive link is an entierly different Module and involves different transactions to store documents and original.and no where related to DMS.
iam not able to draw at any conclusion weather to suggest Archive link as an storage medium for DMS check in originals, as i have not used it earlier in DMS.
Can this SAP Archive Link server be used as an sole and single original applicaion file storing system for DMS?
if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused
please clarify.
Points awaiting for clarification.
Thanks and regards,
Shanti

Dear Hill,
Thanks for your response,
but my confusion is not yet solved.
let me put it in a better way,
1) You can store a document against a DIR with the GOS icon instead of in the originals area (called Document Archiving), i did not understand this solution please eloborate. where is this GOS icon in DIR,
2) There is one thing in menu path: Environment / check in archive.
so can we store originals in a Archive server directly by going in to the CV01N transaction.(iam not speaking about transferring Original already stored in a content server)
3) we are having a single archive server to Archive SAP data, can This SAP Archive server be used as an sole and single original file storing system for DMS Also?
4) if so will it support all the DMS funtionalities, if not what is this fully integrated means, is it limited to make an copy / transfer of excess DMS files in SAP Archive server from existing DMS server? iam confused to suggest this solution, as the client is not kneen on buying a separate server to store DMS files.
please clarify.
Thanks and regards
Shanti

Webcenter dicussion forum - Ldap Group Integration with JSSO

Hi,
We want to implement LDAP Group integration for the authorization purposes in
webcenter Jive Disucussions deployed in our IAS 10.1.3.2 application server.
Though jive provides support for the same, yet the JIve documentation says
that we need to implement the JIve's LDAP User authentication steps in order
to leverage LDAP Groups integration. In case of Webcenter if we use Java SSO
for the authentication purpose, we need opt for the 'Default' in the Jive
Admin's authentication page instead of LDAP settings. Opting for 'Default'
scheme doesn't allow us to configure the LDAP group settings. We are not able
find any documentation for LDAP Group Integration along with Java SSO. Could
provide us the steps required for the same? Or has anyone tried the same?
Thanks and Regards,
ABhijit

Hi Abhijit,
You can ignore 'Default', and implement your own user authentication mechanism, which can include LDAP group settings. You will have to follow:
- OC4J security documentation for using Java SSO in your own implementation (I think this is the right link - confirm the version numbers - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/web.1013/b28957/javasso.htm#BABEJFDI)
- Jive documentation for implementing user authentication

WHy SAP PI Needs different server then R/3

I am new to SAP PI. I have following queries:-
1. Why cannot we install sap pi so same server as that of sap r/3.
2. What are the server requirements for installation of SAP PI 7.4 dual stack.
request gurus to put some light on these two queries.
Thanks in advance

Hi Nav,
1. Why cannot we install sap pi so same server as that of sap r/3.
From Personal experience - SAP PI is a integration server.
If they need to take down your r/3 system box and your entire integration goes down. All communication
We also might open ports and IP's for the integration box that you might want open on the r/3 box.
You have more control and up time if your are on 2 servers.
Those were just from experience and i know SAP recommends that you have 2 servers and not 1 for both.
2. What are the server requirements for installation of SAP PI 7.4 dual stack.
Please see links below.

Access denied:com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher

Hi Friends,
I have installed a Standalone Portal ( EP, EP core, BI Java) , configured LDAP as data source and imported the Portal content from Source system . ( in Development, Quality, Production)
I completed all configuration and testing completed.
But the portal user created with customized iviews roles are working fine in Development and Production.
But ....Access denied:com.sap.ip.bi.web.portal.integration.launcher error is encountered in Quality system.
In QAS system, while installation I have selected EP, EP core as Usage type.. and after Insatllation I have installed additional Usage tye BI JAVA using JSPM
Whereas in DEV, PRD ( EP, EP core, BI Java) were taken as Usage types while installation only..
Above reason may effect the Test user for access denied error.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Venkat

Ramana,
It looks like a permissions issue, right click on the system created for BI under System Admin-System Configuration-System landscape and open the permissions and ensure you have the everyone group added there and enduser checked.
Good Luck!

Can anyone please throw a light?
Thanks and regards,

Hi Guneet,
We are using jive 5.5.9 instead of 5.1.0 that comes with webcenter.
Also we are just trying to validate the JIve's authorization scheme so didn't integrate the Java SSO part. Jive forum is just a standalone OC4J instance in the IAS server and we are using the LDAP configuration in the User,Groups Authentication page instead or default which is required for Java SSO.
Thanks,

Storing Portal Roles in LDAP server

Hi,
I want to use an LDAP server for user authentication to my portal. The documents I got from help.sap.com says about keeping an LDAP server for storing normal user attributes and the portal db for storing roles. Is there any way to store thr portal roles also in the LDAP server and retreive them for authentication. Please help
Thanks,
Ranjith

Hi Ranjith,
There is no way to store the roles in the LDAP. They are kept in the portal DB. Also, portal roles aren't used for authentication like roles are in R/3. They are used mainly for determining what a user can see in the portal.
The authentication in the portal is based on the user id and password. when you log on to the portal. You will be assigned a role(s) for what you can see in the portal. The actual authentication to application come from the back end systems. For example, even if you have a portal role that lets you have access to a transaction in R/3, if you don't have the back end authorization you won't be able to get at the data.
I hope this helps
John
