Active Directory, single sign-on and SRM Users

We are in the process of installing SRM 7.0. using the Classic Scenario. I am seeking clarification around the creation of users in that system given the following:
- My Basis colleagues are in the process of implementing single sign-on using Active Directory for our SAP Portal, SAP Business Warehouse and SRM systems.
- Single sign-on will not at this point be used for our SAP ECC 6.0 system
My questions are:
1. If active directory is being used do we need to create actual users within the SRM system?
2. If actual users in the SRM system are not required, does this have any impact on the creation of the Organizational structure in SRM from the SAP ECC HR hierarchy?
Many Thanks

Hi Claire,
The Single Sign On work only if user exist on every systemes.
For example :
If you connect trough portal to access ECC and SRM, your user id must exist in ECC and SRM.
For Active Directory you can synchronize your user table to AD by using LDAP option.
The best way is to configure a CUA for ECC and SRM, use the UME of Portal on ECC and synchronize the CUA to Active Directory.
Finally use the SSO certificate between Portal ECC and SRM.

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,
vimal jain.

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Hi,
we're having exactly the same problem.
Could you tell me what the problem is with the network ?
You say configure it properly but what do you mean ?
It's installed on a Windows 2000 Server machine, it's own DNS.

User login report in Active Directory for specific date and time

I want to get User login report in Active Directory for specific date and time e.g user logged in at15-01-2015 from 8:00am to 4:00pm
Is any query, script or any tool available?
Waiting for reply please

You can identify the last logon date and time using my script here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-Active-Directory-User-bbcdd771
If you would like to get back in time and see when the user did a logon / logoff then you need to have auditing enabled. Once done, you can records from Security log in the event viewer: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/98cbecb0-d23d-479d-aa65-07e3e214e2c7/manage-active-directory-users-logon-logoff-events
I have started a Wiki about how to track logon / logoff and it can help too: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx

Single Sign on and Protect URL step

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle Internet Directory, Identity Server, Web Pass, Policy manager, Access Server and WebGate (attached to Oracle HTTP Server from Oracle Management Infrastructure).
My questions are:
- How do I protect URL so the user will need to login to access certain URL?
- How do I enable single sign on and test it?
- What are the general steps involve to enable URL protection (so if the url is protected it will prompt for username and password) and single sign on using Oracle Internet Directory?
Kindly help me if anyone know a solution or can point me to the right documentation. I have tried to read Oracle Access Manager - Access Administration Guide, but keep getting confused.
Thanks.
Regards,
Alfonso

Hi,
You can follow Oracle Access Manager Integration Guide (10.1.4.0.1) B25347-01, chapter 4, to achieve this. This document will answer most of your questions.

Single sign-on and different usernames and passwords

Hello,
I am building a Portal with WLPS 3.5 and WLS 6.0. I tried to get
information about the background of single sign-on.
I understand, that I need a Realm (i.e. LDAP Realm) to authenticate the
user for the first login to the portal (with username and password).
Now I would like to integrate my webmail-programm (to get emails from
Lotus Notes via Internet) as a portlet.
For my understanding the user has to authorizate to get access to webmail.
Therefore I create a ACL for webmail and this ACL is assigned to my
security Realm.
I would like the portlet to show after login the number of mails for the
specific user. But where are the username and password for webmail stored
and how are they received and forwarded?
I understand that my ACL included all users that have access to webmail
(i.e. all users). But I only want emails for the specific user.
Does WLS get all usernames and passwords while the first login? Do I have to
implement a algorithmen to get the specific username and password for the
requested resource in my portlet?
Has anyone solved a similar problem or can tell me where I can get more
information. I read the WebLogic Security document but I cant find a
answer to my questions.
Thanks
Lydia

Lydia,
I'm not an expert in this area, but I can give you a start.
As for single sign-on, there are different levels. For single sign-on across web-apps,
the servlet spec requires this (section 12.6 of th 2.3 spec) and therefore Weblogic
does this.
What you are talking about is single sign-on across back-end applications through
a web-app. BEA has partnered with Securant (just acquired by RSA) to provide this
kind of functionality. Browse to http://www.rsasecurity.com/products/ and look
at the ClearTrust product. BEA has also partnered with Netegrity (www.netegrity.com)
with their SiteMinder product. Neither is included in the Weblogic license. I'm
sure either vendor would be excited to explain how their product will solve your
problem if you give them a call.
As for where the username and passwords are stored, that is up to the realm. If
you are using the default WLPS RDBMSRealm, the username and encrypted password
are stored in the WLCS_USER table. If you are using LDAPRealm, they are stored
in your LDAP server.
Hope this was useful!

Single Sign-On and Data Visibility Rights

Hello,
I was wondering whether anyone has any best practices for implementing single sign on and user identification with Excelsius.
More specifically, I need to interrogate user role, and limit certain data visibility based on that role.
For example, a sales rep may only see certain data for their own territories, but the regional and national managers can see more.
With the emphasis in improving enterprise integration with the new version coming up, I'm also wondering if there are any improvements included for this aspect.
Thanks in advance.
Derick

Hi Derick,
I want to make our discussion into 2 parts
1) Sign on
2) Viewing data based on the Heirarchy
1)Before discussing about the Sign on i want to know which connectivity you are using ? Live offcie or QaaWS.
2) We can make the second point possible in two ways One is with providing restriction at universe level
and the other one is through the use of flash variables.
Using flash variables:
The main idea of using flash variables is reading the User ID from BO authentication and based on that we fetch the Heirarchy level of that user. Then we use some excel logic to hide the data from Low level heirarchy(Here we use Dynamic Visibility for components).
I hope this is what you ar looking for....
If so i have more points to acheive such scenario.
Please provide the your BO environment details, such that it will be easy to identify the better best wat to acheve it.

Active Directory - Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 (Server Formatting or not productive

Hello guys, I come here to try to clarify a great doubts regarding Server Operating Systems, I will attempt to detail the most of my scenario.
Suppose I have a Server 2008 R2 in production, and this is my Active Directory server (meudominio.local) and am managing through Group Policy settings my workstations that are around 60-70 computers, guys my doubts the thing is, if I need some time to format
and perform a fresh installation of my server as it will be my Active Directory? Of course I will have lost my domain controller and I have to accomplish the placement of each workstation again that enters my domain one by one.
I know there is the option of AD replication, so we call the Active Directory, even for another version of the Operating System, prátia already realized this, but it most often comes not functioning properly, done without replication problems Server 2003 to
2008 R2.
Guys like to know a solution to not having to put my plants in my domain network again one by one, is there any way to backup so that when I reinstalled the system and the AD again in my server stations return to "see" again that server as your domain
controller, even me installing AD with the same domain name before this formatting stations do not respond to this driver in this case do the Network ID or add the station to the area again, so she creates a new user profile for example (Max.meudominio) while
your old profile "guy" still remains on the machine, I adopted the practice of editing the record of this newly created profile and pointing him well for the old user folder which contains all data and settings, eg edit my key "ProfileImagePath"
regedit logged in with the newly created profile (Max.meudominio) ->
(switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max.meudominio) thus pointing to the folder before replacing in the field again this season after formatted server, thus ->
(Switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max), detail that we give permission for all such user "C:\Users\Max" folder, after that restart the computer and he comes back with the user profile and all your settings.
I wonder if there is another method to perform this procedure, do not know even a backup AD to not have to replace all the seasons again "meudominio.local".
Thank you for your attention!
Translation with Google translator! Sorry.
Matias Duarte Coordenador de Suporte Dual Solucoes® | Soluções em tecnologia da informação

As the practice of replication I know her mostly said she has some flaws when I do the replication of my domain to another server but it works correctly, so having a server "master" and the other ServidorBKP as "slave", in redundancy,
the problem is when I say, and put the "ServidorBKP" being my primary domain controller and disabling my main controller, to disable or turn off my main controller the stations themselves are unable to login because it does not communicate with the
my ServidorBKP "slave" even I put it as the main driver of course.
Regarding the System State as far as I know this option existed in Server 2003.
I also got some information, confer on the links below.

Can any one help how to start.
Thanks in advance!

Hi AnilKarthik,
You can get user details by name using DirectoryService namespace. Then you can create a DataTable to restore the information and then bind to the SharePoint GridView.
Here are some deatiled code demos for your reference:

Active Directory as readonly UME except of user's password

Hi there,
we would like to configure the portal-datasource to connect to the active directory read-only. However, (LDAP) users must be able to change there passwords. How could the xml file look like.
We checked out http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/46/07a02c920f4f0fe10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm, but this doesn't work. Here the portal tries to create ldap users and fails as no mandatory fields are writeable.
Also we tried to dsitriubte the active directory in one writeable and one readable. However according to help.sap.com (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4e/4d0d40c04af72ee10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) it is not possible to assign users from one source to groups of another.
Does anybody know a solution or a hint?

Single sign on and microsoft active directory

Hi,

Single Sign On and user security with IS

We have installed Information Steward 4.1 SP1 Patch 1 with Data Services 4.1 SP1 Patch 2 on Information Platform Services 4.0 SP 5 patch 6. The Information Steward system is installed on it's own server. We are connecting IS to our SAP Netweaver 7.3 system.
I have set up Single Sign On using Windows AD authentication. The connection to the SAP system uses a service account.
Because the SAP system has our payroll information on it, we want to restrict Information Steward users based on their SAP security profiles. We don't want to have to maintain security settings in both SAP and Information Steward.
Does anyone know if there's a way to set up Single Sign On so it passes the user credentials from SAP to Information Steward? Then restrict the users on Information Steward based on their SAP security settings?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi,
You can use Windows AD or SAP Authentication and configure it with SSO. However this should be done in the BI/IPS plaftorm and not IS. See the BI admin guide (http://help.sap.com/bobip40) section "Authentication options in BI platform". Please let me know if that's what you wanted.
thanks
