Access Enforcer CC and FF

Hello,
We are implementing new ECC 6.0 on AIX and would want to implement AE, FF and CC as well. Also we have old AE 3.0 .NET version and CC 4.0 and FF 3.0 on 46C. We will be doing a data migration after implementation. My question is what version of AE is compatible with our current CC and FF. I checked PAM and found that I have to go on to the latest 5.2 suite for all the three products on AIX; is this true? Can I not just use AE 5.2 and still remain on CC 4.0 and FF 3.0?

Please refer to the <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000245492007E/GRC_AC_52_Migration.pdf">SAP GRC Access Control 5.2 Product Migration</a> guide. You'll find that AE5.2 is compatible with CC4.0. The 5.2 RTA must be installed which is 4.0SP9.

Risk Analysis Error - Access Enforcer

Hi Experts,
I am getting error while running risk analysis in Access Enforcer and the error is
Risk analysis failed: Exception in getting the results from the web service : Service call exception; nested exception is: java.lang.Exception: Incorrect content-type found 'text/html'

We are using seperate RFC IDs for Access Enforcer connector and Comlaince Calibrator connector.
Please help me.
Thanks&Regards,
Vijay

Reddy,
The user must indeed be created in the UME as a Compliance Calibrator user.
I don't know exactly which role he should be assigned, usually I indicate there my CC admin user-id and password.
When you see it is working with that user-id, you can try to re-fine the roles.
Some more info regarding what needs to be set in the URI in case the one I inducated in my previous answer is not working:
"There are two selectable versions of Compliance Calibrator. If you select 5.0 Web Service, three additional fields appear (URI, UserName, and Password). For the URI field, you need to navigate to the SAP NetWeaver Web Application Server Home page > Web Services Navigator > CCRiskAnalysisService > WSDLs > Standard link of Document, where you will see a list of all web services in the server. Select the desired URI address. If you select Compliance Calibrator 4.0, there is no need to connect to a URI address."

In Addition to my previous response:
I meant to include the following:
Some of the fields that need to be properly defined with attributes are:
       System: must have the know SAP system defined here
       Role Approver (i presently are using most of the roles without having need for approval; I created a user called NOAPPRV in AE)
       Functional Area: need to have all the areas defined that roles will be assigned to
       Company: I only have one company so that's an easy one
Some areas I presently do not use but found they must ne coded and coded properly:
       ResponsibilityID:   N/A (coded as is)
       CommentsMandatory: NO (coded as is)
       Parent Role Owner:   NO
       Business Process: NA (I believe I originally coded N/A and it did not like that)
       Sub Process: NA (again N/A I believe error on me)
       Reaffirm Period: presently I am using 0 (zero)
       LastReaffirm: presently using 12/31/9999
Hope this helps a bit
I wanted to include an attachment with a sample of my Role Import spreadsheet but I'm not sure exactly how to do that; if I figure that out or someone can provide me the process I will include it

Access enforcer and User Data Source for HR

We are on Access Enforcer 5.2 - service pack 2:
My problem is that when creating a new request in AE, I able to get a list of all users when I point my User Data Source to either SAP or UME. However when I attempt to create a request whilst pointing the User Data Source at the SAPHR system, I do not get any users back (and we have user set up in the SAP HR system).
Ive changed the connector to YES under the HR System box, Ive changed the Data Source Type and Details Source Type to point at the SAPHR and still it fails to fetch any users.
I've tried looking at the log, but can't get much out of it.
I would appreciate it, if anyone could provide any assistance.
Thanks you in advance.

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm pointing both Data Source Type and Details Source Type to the same system SAPHR and to the same system name (which is our dev system)

Access Enforcer and Import Roles

Hi All,
I am having issues importing roles that have the exact same name across different systems. This makes it almost impossible to implement Access enforcer across Dev/QA and Production environments at once. I would have thought that AE uses the (System ID, role name) as the key for that particular table used.
Has anyone managed to find a workaround for this?
Cheers,
Cuneyt

Nevermind i have solved the problem.

Access Enforcer (error in creating a request)

Hi All,
when i am creating a new request in Access Enforcer . After filling alll the details and clicking the submit button it is showing a error in creating request .Path not found.

Hello,
You must have to select at least one condition attribute while creating your initiator. It seems initiator condition not meeting the details you are filling in your request. So it is not able to trigger the workflow initiator.
For simple scenario, if you are filling your company details in your request then change your initiator condition attribute to "Company".(Don't include more condition attributes for now). Once it works out then change initiator details back to your requirements.
Please let me know if this will not resolve your issue.
Thanks

Validity date issue: Access Enforcer

Hi All,
There is a request in Access Enforcer wherein there are total 4 stages of approval, the first 2 stages have been properly approved however when the same arrived to the 3rd stage of approval, the validity date for the request was over and therefore the approvers tried to extend the same, but the "more" tab is not appearing and therefore the approvers are not able to approve the request by extensing the validity date.
Can you please help with this issue?
Thanks
Vani

Vani,
Go to the stage level settings for this particular stage via configuration -> workflow -> stage. Change the option of 'Change request content' to 'Yes' and the approver in this stage should be able to change the vailidity dates.

Connector problem with access enforcer

Hi Guys,
I am facing a really strange problem with my connectors.
We have a test installation of GRC which was down for about 3 months.
During this time we migrated our central SLD to another system so I needed to change the connection after getting the system up again.
Anyhow I still can't modify, test or even create a new connector for access enforcer.
The only error I get is "Action failed".
I tried to analyze the logs but found no help there too.

I had a simular problem with CC and I had to contact SAP. They gave me a script to run against the database that remove the connector. The problem seemed somewhat common for CC 5.1. Not sure if this applies to AE.

Auto Email generation in multiple language in Access Enforcer 5.2

Hi All,
We have configured workflow in Access Enforcer 5.2 for autoprovisioning of users in the system. Requestor gets an email in english with the userid and password once the user is provisioned in the system. Now the requirment is to send these emails in different language, which is specific to the user. Like a spanish user should receive the email in spanish language.
Whether this has anything to do with language setting while user creation.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Pravin

Hi Pravin,
It has nothing to do with the language settings for the user. This configuration has to be done in closing section of Email reminders under workflow. As per my experience with AE 5.2/CUP 5.3, I don't think this is possible as of now. This could be a good functionality, so you can open an enhancement request with SAP.

Multi User request in Access Enforcer

Is anyone aware of a user limit in an access enforcer multi user request?
We get errors when we submit a multi user access enforcer request with more than 25 users.
Thanks

Hi
There is no standard limit even though we advice to keep the user to max of 20 .
The limit depends upon the email content you have configured .
In case in your email notifications you have taken the argument USERID then mulitple user creation request causes issue and the limit gets set to anything between 20-25 , again depending on content of the email .
Thanks

Why Access Enforcer 5.2 considers u201CCritical Transactionu201D as a SOD Risk ?

Hello,
When I submit a request with Critical Transaction and no SOD conflict, Access Enforcer forwards my request to the SOD Manager.
I have a Detour Path triggered by the condition u201CSOD Violationsu201D.
The settings are in:
- Access Enforcer 5.2: Configurations -> Risk Analysis -> Default Analysis Type: Object Level
- Compliance Calibrator 5.2:
Configuration -> Risk Analysis -> Default Values -> Default report type for risk analysis: Permission Level
I am wondering why Access Enforcer 5.2 considers u201CCritical Transactionu201D as a SOD Risk
Thank you.
Abderrahim

Hi,
As per my knowledge even though you set the risk analysis to be done at a single level, AE will do at all the levels, i.e., at SoD, critical action, and critical permission. If you want to have only SOD risks, you need to either deactivate all critical action rules in RAR, or create a new ruleset and assign all the SOD risks to it and use it with AE.
This will help you to address the issue.
Best Regards,
Raghu

Upload of role in Access Enforcer 5.2.

Hi All,
I need to upload roles in Access Enforcer from SAP ECC system. Actually i have uploaded the roles in Access Enforcer, but all unwanted roles have also got uploaded.
Now i need some way, first to clean entire uploaded roles & then upload selected roles.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Pravin

Hi Pravin,
Here are the steps:
1) Download all the roles into an excel spreadsheet:
Go to configuration -> Roles- Search roles -> Click on 'Export' button. This CUP, go to 'Search Roles'. Click on 'Search' button without providing any search criteria. This will return all the roles available in CUP. Now, click on Export button. CUP will export all the roles into Excel spreadsheet in the format which CUP understands.
2) Delete all the roles from CUP: Now, in the same screen as above, select all the roles and delete them.
3) Delete not needed roles from spreadsheet and upload it into CUP:
Now, delete all the unwanted roles from CUP and play with the spreadsheet to manipulate other parameters like role approvers, systems, business process etc and upload that spreadsheet into CUP.

Access Enforcer Role Import - Reaffirm period

Hello
What does the following terms mean;
last reaffirm
reaffirmperiod
We current upload roles into AE, with last reaffirm as current date, and reaffirmperiod of 60 which means 5 years.
Can someone please explain what these terms mean, because many roles have reaffirm periods that end in 2010.
Thanks

Hi Prakas,
Reaffirm period ( in months ) is the duration after which you would like the Approver of the Role ( Role Owner /Role Approver ) to get notified on which all user in SAP has access to that Role and Does he want to continue giving that role to them or wants to remove that Role from all of them or any one of them .
He would get the details on which Role requires Reaffrim at following location :
In AE 5.2 ; login with Role approver id ( eg ABC ) into AE .
In tab Access Enforcer > Reaffirm .
A list of All the roles of which ABC is apporver and which require re-affrim would display here.
ABC can now take approriate action by selecting the role name.
*Last reaffrim * is the date when the Role was Reaffrim /revisited/reassgined last.
In your scenario you have given Reaffrim period = 60 which means your Role Owner would get the Role in his Reaffrim inbox after 5 years .
This is not best practise . For security reason , SAP advices to keep the Reaffrim period to a maximum of 2 months.
I hope this answers your query .
Thanks

Access Enforcer LDAP mappings

Hello everyboby,
I have Access Enforcer 5.1 VP1 and I would like to know how use the LDAP mappings.
For example, I want recover the manager's name into LDAP automatically on Access Enforcer during an user request.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
David Heang

Hi,
First you need to connect the Connector for the LDAP when the Connector is working, You need to define the LDAP Mappings.
For Recovering the Manager Name in to Access Enforcer from LDAP (Active Directory) you need to Map the LDAP Entry classs object "manager" to the Access Enforcer "LDAP Mappings"
Now the Manager for the User will be picked up if the Relationsip is defiend in the LDAP Directory.
LDAP Objects are different for the Different LDAP Types.
Hope it Helps,
Vikas

CUA still necessary/recommended with Access Enforcer?

Hello forum members,
we are planning to implement SAP GRC Access Control for one of our clients. There are 5 R/3 Systems in the landscape, one of them a HR System. Currently there is no CUA in place an all users and roles are maintained separately in each system. Now with the introduction of GRC Access Control there is the question, if we should at the same time also have a CUA introduced or if it is better to directly provision the Users and Roles from Access Enforcer to the target systems.
What are the pros/cons to have a CUA in between? Does Access Enforcer also provide overview on all users in all system and the assigned roles?
Thanks for your replies.

This is a question that I'm asked all the time. For some environments, using CUA with AE is really nice. For other environments, it's just not feasible to have CUA as the security authorisation strategies are too inconsistent across systems.
For example:
a. There are three systems (ECC, BI, and SRM) implemented with a consistent top-down (job) approach to defining roles. So, a AP clerk will receive the 'AP Clerk' role in ECC, 'AP Clerk' role in BI, and 'AP Clerk' role in SRM (for simplicity). Obviously, the roles are different as they are for different systems, but the point is, it is easy to categorise the authorisations for a particular job across each of the systems. If security is consistent like this, then CUA can be implemented and the three single roles for the three systems can be grouped together in a cross-system composite role called 'AP Clerk'. When AE is implemented over the top of this, a user only has to request the 'AP Clerk' role (composite). AE performs the workflows, risk analysis etc and then finally passes the request to CUA, which then provisions out to the other two systems. Very easy from a user point of view as they only have to request one role, which is their job.
b. If however due to inconsistency between the systems, it is not feasible to group access into cross-system composites, it may just be better to go with AE without CUA. In this scenario, a user must request the applicable roles from each of the three systems. It is more flexible, but a little more difficult for the end user.
I normally spend quite a bit of time developing the Access Controls strategy during the blueprint phase of the implementation just to make sure that I'm coming up with the optimal design. A bit of prototyping helps also!
