Programmatically adding/deleting users to/from portal groups

I am using the following PDK api, to delete an user from a portal group (otp_sales).
I get the following error which doestn make sense. I tested the following api from a
script shown below. In my application, this gets called from a trigger, and fails
because it sees a ROLLBACK getting used in the API.

We had the same problem and it turned out that deleting a portal user(delete_portal_user), removing a portal user from a list (delete_user_from_list) or updating a portal user, the "savepoint xxxx never established message" came up when there was no context set. If the procedure is called from within a portal page (or as user portal30) ,and the context is set and it works. The solution is to check to see if the context was set, and then set it if not.
if not portal30.wwctx_api_private.is_context_set then
portal30.wwctx_api_private.set_context(p_user_name => 'portal30');
end if;
Hope this helps

How to map LDAP user language to portal user language?

Hi guys,
I need to get the logon language of our portal users from LDAP. I tried to modify the xml datasourceconfiguration file adding the "language" attribute, without any result. Anyone have some ideas?
I think this is a strange behaviour because I tried to add or remove other attributes such as "mobile", "telephone", ecc... and the system works without troubles adding or removing these attributes.

Hi Raffaele,
Pl refer to following link

How to enable create user option in portal under user administration?

Hi,
In Portal, in user administration tab, always the create user and Copy to New user option is disabled, how can i enable those?
-Siva

If the AS ABAP is your datasource for your users there is NO WAY you can create users in the portal UME.
● If the UME has read-only access, you cannot modify user attributes stored in the ABAP system, like first name and last name. You can modify attributes stored in the UME database, like street. Even if read-only access is assigned, users can still change their own passwords.
● If the UME has read-write access, you can create users using the tools of the J2EE Engine. Users created in this way are stored as users in the ABAP system. Extended user data that cannot be stored in the standard ABAP user record is stored in the database of the UME.
in the read/write access the users are created only in the ABAP side and not the java. If you have the read access you cannot create users in the abap side. hence you need the SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION role to create users in the AS ABAP.....
Trust me .......bottomline ....you cannot create users in the JAVA UME if you have AS ABAP as your datasource !!!!
hope this helps..

Add to portal favorites works only in User-language english

Hi,
i've got a litte problem with the funktion "add to portal favorites".
We use our portal to publish BW-Reports (BW7.0). Our development-language is english.
Both system (BW and EP) are configured in english.
In the portal (EP 7.0) we have the problem, that the "add to portal favorites" funktion works fine when the user-language is english. When the user-language is german only a few iviews can be added to the favorites....
Does anyone have an idee where my bug is?
Christian

Hi Hema,
Try this.
Change the iView properties, these forces all BI reports to fire in EN,
The setting in the iView of Application Parameters and set this to u201CLanguage=ENu201D.Then this Overrides the local setting of the Portal and forces a BW report to fire in EN.

Query in Portal User-Language-Independent

Hi all
Query and Portal: NW04S
We have some users with different language as Query language.
So the result is, when a query is developed in german and a user has default language english the query components are shown in technical values.
We don't want to translate the query in english
We don't want to change the users language to german
So my idea was to change the query iview with the parameter "sap-language=DE", but this doesn't have an affect either in iview-Properties "Query-String BEx Web Application" nor in "Parameter forwarded to BEx Web Application"
How can I solve this problem, so the bex-query is always shown in german.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Roger

Bex? or Web?
Bex - no chance I thinkl - at leats not one that I know off
I have the same problem with Chinese language in a hard coded English BI portal in a multi language Consumer Portal (!

Adding mail users from Portal 'sign me up' facility

When users access the Portal for the first time, they have the opportunity to sign up as new users.
This will create their user id and they can then access IM or Calendar quite happily.
They can't, however, access mail. Adding mail users appears only to be possible via the command line tools. This essentially means that it's not practical to have users sign themselves up!
Is there any integration module/howto out that describes how to let users sign up to mail and the other services and not just an inconvenient subset?

If you create a Mail service (have a look at the sample one provided with Identity Server 6.1 in /opt/SUNWam/samples/integration) you can specify default values for the relevant attributes, then specify that the service you create is a required service in the organization your users area being created in.
Haven't tried it myself but it should work.

Portal UME in ABAP asking user mapping???

Hi all,
I've decided to configure portal UME beeing the ABAP UME in backend system. I Can create users in portal and SU01 and i can logon in both systems with the same user. Now i've a system to connect the MSS/ESS iviews and portal asks me for user credentials in R/3, why ? It is the same user !! Have I to configure anything more?
Thanks for replys,
Best Regards,
Pedro Rodrigues.

Hi Pedro,
To my knowledge ESS/MSS iViews are connecting ICM server on ABAP side and, thus, BSP iViews (at least, some of them). To avoid requests for user credentials from ICM server you need to configure SSo between your J2EE (where Portal is installed) and ABAP systems.
Here is the link that might be helpful for you:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/89/6eb8e7af2f11d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
Also you can search in the SDN Weblogs for steps on how to configure SSO.

Mapping User Language vom LDAP to Portal Users

Hi,
Anyone knows how to map the user language available in an attribut from LDAP to the portal user language?
(Working on NW04)
Regards,
Martin

HI,
For 2004s SP10,
althought the manual tells you to use the preferredlanguage attribute in the datasource. Use the attribute 'locale' to map to your LDAP specific language attribute.
example <attribute name="locale">
<physicalAttribute name="preferredLanguage"/>
</attribute>
Use the 2-characters ISO language code set. For example en for English, nl for Dutch and de for German.
Works fine for us.
good luck,
Joachim van Essen

How to set selected Language from Portal dropdown in Logon to User profile

Hi Gurus,
I select a language in Portal Language dropdown in the Logon Page.
After login in the content is getting displayed in the browser language.
I want the portal content to be displayed in the selected language in the portal LogonPage.
I checked the thread Logon page change to add a dropdown for language
The is the requirement for me too .
Kindly suggest me on how to set the language in the Portal user Profile so that the portal contents gets displayed in the selected languages from the dropdown .
Thanks in Advance

Hi Prasanna,
The language that the portal is displayed in depends on the following
heirarchy, with the languages at the top of the list taking precedence
over those at the bottom:
1. Component (iview) language (defined in the portalapp.xml)
2. Portal Mandatory language (defined in the prtDefault.properties)
3. User language (defined in the user#s profile).
4. Request language (defined by the browser).
5. Portal Default language (defined in the prtDefault.properties)
6. System Default language (default locale defined by the OS).
So for example, if you have your portal user language (as in point 3)
set to Russian, but the language of the iView that is the logon page
(as in point 1) set to English, that logon page will be displayed in
English.
Keeping the above in mind, please make the necessary changes to the
configurations and check if it helps.
Regards,
Sowmya

Sync User Locks from LDAP(Microsoft AD) to Portal UME

Hi All,
Currently we have our Portal UME connected to LDAP (Microsoft AD) as our data source. I can bring up all Active Directory users in Portal, however the users that are locked and disabled in Active directory are still active in portal. To be more clear the expiration date of a userid in AD does not sync with Portal UME account expiration date. Is there a way to bring in the expiration value in to portal?
Regards,
Junaid

Config tool may not have expiry date as mapping in Additional LDAP prop tab, you may need to look for configuration file where you can map the logical attribute to the LDAP.
Licensing impact depends on your contract with SAP.
However you can check portal users with USMM at the end of URL.
E.g.
remove 'irj/portal' from your initial portal link and add 'usmm'

Portal User Contact Info : ABAP UME

Folks,
I have my UME set to the ABAP server, and I need to access the user city, country etc from the portal, for which I am using
(IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest()).getUser().getCity();
Moreover I do not want to maintain this information on the Portal Identity Management, but from the ABAP system when I create the user id.
I want to know where I should update the city and country on the R/3 system so that I can fetch it in the portal using the above mentioned API.
Thanks for your time.

>>Is there an API for that, as ((IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest
>>()).getUser().getCompany() does not seem to return the company that we see >>in SU01.
You can create custom login module to synchronize values which are not mapped from R/3 UME to Portal UME (including city).
>>Also does this mean that if I maintain the Contact Information in Identity >>Management, it is not stored in the R/3 but in the Portal itself?
All user, account, role and groups attributes wich are not mapped to R/3 UME are going to be stored in local portal UME database.

Attribute to lock Portal UME user

Hi SAP Expert,
Does anyone know the attribute for locking UME user id in Portal Batch Import?
I am trying to use 'Portal batch import' to mass lock portal users, that is by importing a batch file with corresponding uid. I search up and down and couldn't find the attribute that responsible for the lock status in portal.
Have anyone experience a similar issue and know where to look for the lock attribute label?
Thanks in advance.

Jim,
It sounds like you already have a text list of users, who have left the company and the list is too long to easily search for each individual user and lock them.
One thing you could do is the following:
1. Create a group called temporary.
2. Add this group to all the users as follows:
[user]
uid=john.doe
last_name=doe
group=temporary
If your SAP NetWeaver system is 7.0 or earlier, this removes all other group assignments from these users! If you have SAP NetWeaver 7.1, you can use the following syntax:
group=+temporary
. This add the gorup assignment without removing the others.
3. Start identity management and display all users who are members of this group.
4. From the Table selection menu, choose Select All.
5. Choose Lock.
6. Enter the reason for the lock.
7. Choose Lock.
This seems to be a rather roundabout way to achieve your goal. Unless you are talking about thousands of users, it still might be easier to lock each user by hand:
1. Start identity management.
2. Copy the user name into the search field.
3. Search.
4. Select.
5. Lock.
Repetitive, but not nearly as destructive.
SAP NetWeaver Identity Management offers additional functions, enabling you to trigger the locking of users automatically and removing all authorizations, say if your HR system changed the users status. But it does not sound like you have that option right now.
