Can IdM be used as LDAP directory and UME datasource?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out what IDM can and cannot do.
Can IDM be used as a LDAP datasource in its own right for a SAP Portal for example?
Or do you still have to use an external LDAP directory and IDM is then only used to pull everything together from all systems?
Thanks,
Adriaan

Hi Adriaan,
it should be tecnically possible to use the Virtual Directory Server as a LDAP datasource for portal, but you probably have to edit the datasource.xml of portal and the connection.
I'd rather use the portal database or a dedicated LDAP for that and use IdM to provision into this repository.
Regards,
Andreas

Retrieve all user id's from LDAP directory and populate in Oracle table.

Guys,
We've implemented LDAP authentication functionality in our application using Oracle's dbms_ldap package objects.
Now,Is there any way that I can retrieve all user ids from the LDAP directory and store in an Oracle table?
The distinguished name of authorized user as it appears in our LDAP directory is below:
dn=uid=ab0472,ou=people,ou=xyz,o=world.
Now I need to fetch all users uid's from the LDAP directory and populate in an Oracle table.Can somone help me with thoughts.
Thanks,

Have a look at attachments API, since this also does the same thing except that it puts the file in fnd_lobs instead of the custom table.
Thanks

My husband and I share a new PC. We have different music tastes and each have an iphone. How can we both use our one computer and one itunes program with separate music libraries and separate iphones?

Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID. When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data. If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account. If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

Can't rename folder in main directory and changes need to be authenticated

This just started today: I can't rename folders in my main directory, and I can't move anything in or out without authenticating. Yesterday I had remote tech support working to fix Parallels, and I suspect that the tech support guy changed a setting, but I can't find it to change it back. Ideas, anyone? Please advise.
Thanks,
Karen

Select the main directory in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing & Permissions.

What can I Sync using my Nokia e61 and Isync

Hi there
Can I only sync contacts and Ical?
I wanted to load some music and some pdf's onto the phone can I do this via the mac, or do I have to use the nokia cable and a PC?
New to the E61 so keen to review what can be done with it and what cant - but dont really want to buy any 3rd party sync tools

Thanks for the clarification; since posting this question I have located a BETA program from Nokia called Nokia Multimedia Transfer
I have used this to transfer music onto the Nokia E61, and enabled that to be used as my ring tone
It seems okay and havent found any issues with it, but being a BETA it is always wise to air caution

Understanding Flex: Can it be used without Flash-knowledge, and some other questions

Hi.
I'm trying to understand how Flex works. My understanding is
that Flex is like the integration link between Flash-content and
.NET-applications on the web. We need rich interface on our
.NET-applications - without ActionScript-coding required from the
programmer's side.
Can this be acheived with Flex alone?
What is Coldfusion required for? Can Flex be used without it
to create the rich web interface?
Are basic components included and ready-to-be-used? What if
special components are needed? E.g. multi-level menu-tree or some
special data grid. Can this be developed by a Flash-programmer and
used as a "generic" component?
My reason for choosing this would be that we easily can
acheive great web-layouts that are Flash-based, and that interact
with our .NET-applications. Is this the product I'm looking for?
Thanks alot in advance! :D

It is absolutely possible to create complex custom components
in Flex and without FlashPro.
Flex can communicate with the server in several ways.
WebService: SOAP-based
HTTPService: XML over HTTP, (like REST and AJAX)
RemoteObject: uses proprietary amf protocol, needs Java or CF
on back-end
There are some others like URLLoader and sockets.
Unless you need your back end functionality to be generally
available to anonymous third parties (hence the wsdl), WebServices
are unnecessarily complex.
I prefer HTTPService, I post xml strings in the normal
name=value format to the server and use e4x xml as the resultFormat
in flex.
Even though you said "roughly", that is still an impossible
question to answer, there are too many variables: On the back-end,
do you need to install a database? Create the schema? or is some of
that part done already? On the front-end, How will you navigate the
records? See, too many variables.
The communication part is by far the easiest. Almost
negligible, although the Flash Player security can cause some
head-scratching!

What's the difference between using a connection pool and a datasource

Howdy. I figure this is a newbie question, but I can't seem to find an
answer.
In the docs at bea, the datasource docs say
"DataSource objects provide a way for JDBC clients to obtain a DBMS
connection. A DataSource is an interface between the client program and the
connection pool. Each data source requires a separate DataSource object,
which may be implemented as a DataSource class that supports either
connection pooling or distributed transactions."
In there it says the datasource uses the connection pool, but other than
that, what is the difference between a connection pool and a datasource?

Thanks for the info. I think it makes some sense. But it's a bit greek.
I'm sure it'll make more sense the more I work with it. Thanks.

Peter,
Here is a more formal definition of a DataSource from the Sun site
"A factory for connections to the physical data source that thisDataSource object
represents. An alternative to the DriverManager facility, a DataSourceobject
is the preferred means of getting a connection. An object that implementsthe
DataSource interface will typically be registered with a naming servicebased
on the JavaTM Naming and Directory (JNDI) API.
The DataSource interface is implemented by a driver vendor. There arethree types
of implementations:
Basic implementation -- produces a standard Connection object
Connection pooling implementation -- produces a Connection object thatwill automatically
participate in connection pooling. This implementation works with amiddle-tier
connection pooling manager.
Distributed transaction implementation -- produces a Connection objectthat may
be used for distributed transactions and almost always participates inconnection
pooling. This implementation works with a middle-tier transaction managerand
almost always with a connection pooling manager.
Does that help clarify the distinction?

SPNego configuration with Active Directory as UME datasource

Here are some additional informations:
According to SAP note 718383 changing an existing datasource configuration "dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml" is not possible.
But my aim is to connect an ADS server as datasource
(dataSourceConfiguration_ads_readonly_db_with_krb5.xml).
Can I use my existing J2EE Engine at all?
The system has evolved like this:
BW 3.5 installation, upgrade to NW2004s, then Java Add In-Installation.
Or is it necessary to install an additional java instance?
I have just experiemented a bit:
In the Offline-Configtool the UME Property "Global server configuration ->
services -> com.sap.security.core.ume.service ->
ume.persistence.data_source_configuration" changed like this:
OLD: dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml
NEW: dataSourceConfiguration_ads_readonly_db_with_krb5.xml
Then I restarted the J2EE cluster.
Result: the server0 process does not start anymore.
But at least now I could enter same values for the LDAP server (in the Offline-Configtool),
choose values from the drilldown list for the several configuration files and so on...
-> but is this the correct way at all?
Kind regards

Hi Rüdiger,
It all depends on what you want to do. You installed the AS Java as an Add-in to take adavantage of the existing user base in your AS ABAP and to access the resource from the AS ABAP from a portal.
OK, but now you want to do something about SSO and enable kerberos logon. For this you need the kerberos principal name from your ADS. OK, authentication is not my strong suit, but here are some ideas you can try. By the way in SAP NetWeaver 7.1 there is a configuration to log on to the AS Java using logon data from an LDAP, but still use the backend AS ABAP. See Configuring the UME for Directory Service Sync with AS ABAP for details. However, since you are still using 7.0, let's stick with that for now.
1. Use the LDAP Sync of the AS ABAP function to synchronize the user data of the AS ABAP and your ADS. You must populate the AS ABAP user records with the kerberos principal name. Which ABAP field you populate with this value I am not sure. You would then have to adapt the following procedure to get this data into your AS Java: Configuring the UME when Using Non-ADS Data Sources.
2. Set up a second AS Java and portal with the ADS as the datasource. Then migrate your users from the old one to the new one. Unfortunately, the users have different user IDs on the AS Java and the AS ABAP, so you would have to maintain user mapping between the two systems.
3. Use SAP NetWeaver Identity Management Identity Center to distribute the user data between the systems.
Unfortunately this kind of configuration is not well documented. I will see if I can find someone who can comment on this kind of setup.

Advance payment can not be used against credit limit and another sales ord

Hi,
I have advance payment scenario where customer want advance payment cannot be used against another sales order and against any credit limit.
Let me put one example.
Customer X is having credit limit of 1000 USD, if my client is received customized product order then he will take advance for this special order but customer X is already enjoying credit limit of 1000 USD. In this scenario my client wants advance payment received cannot use against any sales order and against any credit limit.
If I will post advance payment in F-29 then customer credit exposure will decrease against credit limit in FD32 which will affect normal sales order credit limit. Here customer does not want to utilize advance payment against credit limit of customer which is use for normal sales order.
Please suggest

Hi,
You can use the SAP standard documentary payment management functionality together with credit management for this purpose. You need to configure Documentary payments in SAP first. For that see below link;
[Documentary payments|http://www.learnsaptips.com/2011/09/how-to-handle-letter-of-credit-in-sap.html]
Then the advance payment has to be created as a financial document in SAP. This is just a SD only document and no impact to FI. During sales order creation you can assign this document number in to your sales document. It is possible to add it to sales order header as well as to individual line items.
If the attached financial document is sufficient to cover the value of the total sales order (If you attached to header) or value of the line item (If you attach it to a line item), system will NOT take that value for credit exposure calculation.
As far as I understood from your question, this is exactly what you're looking for.
Best regards,
Anupa

When my phone is locked, why can I still use Siri to call and text?

So basically yesterday I was playing around on the lock screen with Siri.. And I noticed i can still call, text and search the Internet from the lock screen. Is this supposed to be possible? or a bug Apple have missed in the current version IOS? I only ask because surely if I lose my phone, any random member of the public could potentially use my phone to dial any number they wish.. even call abroad and run a phenomonly high phone bill very quickly.
Not having a moan just suprised it's possible to do this.. What's the point of a security lock code / fingerprint scanner if anyone can pick up my phone and use it?
Thanks in advance.

So, when you're using Siri, how are you activating it? By pressing the Home Button?
Do you have Touch ID enabled?
Are you using a finger on the Home Button that is enrolled in the Touch ID?

How can I draw using the Brush tool and a touch screen?

I need to be able to use the touch screen on my Lenovo Yoga (running Windows 8) to draw using the Brush tool in Photoshop CS6. I'm able to do that in other programs, including Microsoft OneNote and Paint. For some reason, Photoshop will only interpret touching and dragging on the screen as an attempt to pan or scroll, even when the Brush tool is selected. I bought Photoshop - and it isn't cheap - specifically in order to draw using the touch screen, which I need to be able to do for my job. Is there some driver I can download to fix this problem, or some obscure setting I can change?
I would also like to note that Adobe's technical support line exhibits a degree of infuriating unreachability equalled only by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. When I called to ask for help with this problem, I was told the expected wait time was between 10 and 14 minutes. After waiting for 50 minutes, I gave up in disgust. Adobe's products are powerful, but what passes for customer service is an utter disgrace.

There's gotta be a way but I just use gimp for touch drawing, save it off as a png, edit in ps or ai.

Can't I use my wireless mouse and trackpad in different ways when scrolling?

Since I'm a Chinese user, I prefer describing my question in my mother language...I will translate it...
在系统偏好设置里，倒是可以分别设置鼠标和触控板，但是当我打开触控板的“自然滚动”，同时取消鼠标的“滚动或导航时，使内容按手指方向移动”，之后，鼠标恢复原来的滚动方式，郁闷的使触控板的滚动方式也跟着变化了⋯⋯
但这时打开触控板的设置，“自然滚动”依然是选中的啊⋯⋯
如果这时关闭“自然滚动”，再重新开启，鼠标设置界面的“滚动或导航时，使内容按手指方向移动”虽然是为选中的，但使用时滚动方向又变成反向了⋯⋯
各位有遇到么⋯⋯我觉得是个BUG吧，期待修复⋯⋯
我的鼠标是雷柏的6900,蓝牙无线
本子是新的MBA 11‘
Well, there is two setting items in system preference for "mouse" and "trackpad", and there do have the checkbox for "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" and for "Scroll direction: natural". I checked the "Natural Scroll"---- if I may call it this way ---- option and unchecked the same option in mouse setting wishing to use my mouse and trackpad in different ways...
However, it turned out to be a confusing phenomenon like I can only use my mouse and trackpad in the way "Natural Scroll" or the way it used to be. If I double click the checkbox of "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating" to refresh my settings, both my mouse and trackpad will turn into the way it used to be in scrolling while if I double click on the "Natural Scroll" checkbox, both of them will turn into the new way.
At the same time, eventhrough the setting of my mouse has been changed by the changing of trackpad setting, the checkbox in "mouse" is still unchecked and that's where makes it seems like a BUG....
So, is there anybody who meets the same problem? The reason I want to use this two device in different ways is I just don't like to use mouse in the new way, it's unconfortable for me.
And, I use a new MacBook Air 11' and a wireless mouse called Rapoo 6900
Here comes the link of my wireless mouse.

jhawk,
I can see the appeal of your desired setup, but is the limitation the inability to "Pair" the mouse/keyboard to more than one computer at a time? (Practically, that makes sense, you don't want to be blindly moving both cursors around at the same time, since you can only see one screen at a time)
You CAN operate bluetooth devices on Windows without pairing-you just need to locate the device each time before using:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/09/18/winxpunwired.html
So maybe you can pair the Mac version, and just search out the device each time you switch over? (but then you would have to "unpair" it off the Mac too) Maybe you need to write two scripts for each platform: pair/unpair devices.
Sounds like it would be easier to buy two wireless keyboards and mice :P
What you really want is a utility like this:

(its only Mac to Mac though, unfortunately)
Good luck!
