Accessing User Mapping Data- urgent

Question

Hi,
At this moment I´m developing a portal component in developer studio, this component is made to search information from a R/3 system.
When I try to display the result of the component in the portal, i can't obtain it , because I can´t do usermapping.
So I decided to hardcode it in my code, so it writes which user and password of the R/3 system I want to use.
I know how to get userId of the user:
"String uid = "user";
IUser user = UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUserByLogonID(uid);", but I do not know how get the password of the same user.
Already I searched in the API, but I didn't found anything.
Is there any methods that can help me?
Thanks

Hi Helena,
How are u accessing the R/3 system in your code?
I beleive u might be accessing thru a System created in portal. If this is the case then go ahead and create a User mapping for this System under User Admin->User Mappping.
once the User mapping is done u can retrieve the Usermapping Data using the following code.
IUserMappingService umserv= (IUserMappingService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IUserMappingService.KEY);
        HashMap usermap=new HashMap();
        IUserMappingData umdata = umserv.getMappingData("System_Alias",request.getUser());
        umdata.enrich(usermap);
        String username = (String) usermap.get(IUserMappingService.UMAP_KEY_USER);
          String userpassword = (String) usermap.get(IUserMappingService.UMAP_KEY_PASSWORD);
Hope this helps.
