Can TREX search extern LDAP?

Hi guys,
I am planning to search an external LDAP with TREX (running on Java Web AS 6.40) and view the result in SAP EP 6.0 SP 14.
But so far I did not find a Repository Manager (=> System Administration => System Configuration => Knowledge Management => Content Management => Repository Managers) which seems to fit.
That comes fairly surprising, considering that TREX can search UME which may be based on a LDAP server. There should be a way to search external LDAP servers as well.
<b>Does anyone know how to search an external LDAP with TREX. Please let me know.</b>
Kind Regards,
Martin

Hi Rob,
The Who's Who iView uses a TREX index within KM - working on the UME repository within KM.
==> The answer is no.
Also see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/21/ac21410bc3ef23e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Hope it helps

Can TREX search without KM business package ?

Hi All,
We want to use TREX (6.1 >sp14) to search HR data within R/3 (4.7) from within a portal (6 sp2 on was640) using the Who's Who iview but don't want the KM bp installed.
Is this possible ?
If it is, can anyone provide links to documentation - blogs or threads or help files. 'How To' documents would be especially appreciated.
thanks

Can't search external drives (RAID, FW), can't eject

Hello,
I'm posting a link to my original post because i'm having a lot of trouble figuring this out, and perhaps someone here has some thoughts. ANY help would be appreciated.
Brief overview: i cannot do a search on any of my external drives - RAID, FW, or USB - which makes for a very inefficient workflow. From what i've been able to figure out so far, it seems like it's an issue with Spotlight trying (but failing) to index the drives, which runs me into the other problem: when trying to eject any of these drives, i get the "this drive is in use and cannot be ejected. Try quitting apps and trying again" even if none of them are in use.
I tried the Spotlight/Privacy add-then-delete option and get an error saying i "cannot add this drive because of an unknown error". I tried to force indexing with an app called Highlight. I Repaired permissions. I did a clean erase & install. LaCie tech support wasn't any help. No dice for any of these.
Running OS 10.5.8, PPC G5
Here is the link to my original post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2103582&tstart=0
thank you very much for any help
Gardy

Sounds like a corrupted OS install then, or you need to trash the preferences for spotlight. I've no idea how to do that, but might fix it if you've not selected these externals to not be searched with spotlight.

How to access an External LDAP on a weblogic server using OPSS APIs.

Hi,
Can anyone let me know how I can access an External LDAP configured on a weblogic server using OPSS APIs( or alternative APIs).
I'm currently using the below snippet and I'm getting only the Users and groups from the DefaultAutheticator on the weblogic server and not the external LDAP Server.
I've verified the providers, users and groups on the weblogic server console and can see that external LDAP server content is being picked, but my below code does not query them.
import oracle.security.idm.IMException;
import oracle.security.idm.IdentityStore;
import oracle.security.idm.Role;
import oracle.security.jps.JpsContext;
import oracle.security.jps.JpsContextFactory;
import oracle.security.jps.JpsException;
import oracle.security.jps.service.idstore.IdentityStoreService;
List<Role> rowData = null;
JpsContextFactory ctxf = JpsContextFactory.getContextFactory();
JpsContext ctx = ctxf.getContext();
IdentityStoreService storeService = ctx.getServiceInstance(IdentityStoreService.class);
IdentityStore idStore = storeService.getIdmStore();
rowData = this.getRoles(idStore, "*");
Any help or pointers are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bhasker

Can anyone please provide any suggestions. I trying to google around but still not able to find any solution.
Thanks,

Identity Server using external LDAP

anyone have idea whether ID Server can use external an LDAP server for authentication, like the Policy Server in Portal Server 3 ?
Wilson.

You typically need to use our JNDI store. We strongly recommend this for
performance reasons..
You can use the JNDI To LDAP bridge which is available from the sun web
site.

Trex Search for Archive Link OAAD or OAWD Documents,

HI Sap Gurus,
Can Trex Search in the originals of documents which are stored by OAAD or OAWD Transactions,
if so how to activate the Trex Original document Search for Documents stored through OAAD or OAWD,
Thanks and regards
J Sari,

Dear Athol,
We are using SAP Content server to store our Documents from GOS and also the same Content server is used for maintaining our Documents through DMS also,
so as a standard, Trex cannot search documents maintained in content server by GOS methord and it can only search those documents which are maintained by DMS CV01N method,
pls suggest how to proceed for the development to allow Trex to search all the documents in Content server, how big is the development, is there any SAP suggested solution to be followed,
Thanks and Regards

Usage of external LDAP server with Portal

Hi All,
We are in a situation to use external LDAP server with WLP 8.1. These are the
constraints we have to deal with:
1. Only read is allowed from this LDAP server.
2. This would be used for authentication purpose
If thats the case, how can we use Visitor Entitlements/Delegated Admin and Group
creation using Portal Admin tool since this will write to the configured LDAP
server.
Can somebody answer my question:
1. Can we use external LDAP server - just for authetication (I know this is possible
by using JAAS LoginModule, but I just want to get confirmed on this ) and
2. Use default and embedded LDAP server for all others like Group/Visitor Entitlements/DAs.
Any relevant pointers are also welcome.
TIA,
Prashanth Bhat.

Thanks for th ereply. Some of your answers are not clear. Can you pls eloborate
on this?? Pls see my comments below.

You can add the external LDAP server just for authentication, but in
versions through
8.1 SP2 WLP will want to verify the user exists (via the UserReaderMBean)
during
the login process (this check has been removed in SP3). A work around
is to
duplicate
the user in a provider that does impl UserReaderMBean.
Prashanth : You mean to say we have to duplicate the User in embedded LDAP server
also??

Yes, the default/embedded LDAP can still be used for DA/visitor
entitlements. In the current
release, the Portal Admin Tools can only be configured to use a single
authentication provider
while forming entitlements. In SP3, all configured providers are
listed/usable by the tools.Prashanth : How can we configure Portal Admin tool to use authentication provider

TREX Search Capabilities

Hello
Can TREX search on non-indexed data?
Does TREX support natural language searches?
Does TREX support spider searches?
Best regards,
Luis Carlos

Hi Luis,
   Can TREX search on non-indexed data? No.
   Does TREX support natural language searches? you search using synonym. And other feature is that you can classify documents using taxonomies. There are two kind of taxonomies: query based and example based.

External LDAP user only has search priviledge in UCM

After I have configed external LDAP successfully in weblogic console, I can see all user from external LDAP. And external LDAP user can login UCM successfully, but these users only has search priviledge. I want external LDAP user has Admin priviledge as weblogic(Default in embed LDAP). How to solve it. Any help will be appreciated greatly! Otherwise, I refer to Oracle's ducument,
51.1.14 LDAP Users Not Receiving Some Administrator Privileges
UCM inspects for the group "Administrators" on each user's login to grant UCM roles. If a user should have access to the UCM admin server, the UCM server requires that the user be a member in a group named "Administrators."
How to add external LDAP user to the group of Administrators.

Hi ,
You can use Credential Maps to be achieve the requirement:
Steps for the same are :
1. Login to UCM - Administration - Credential Maps .
2. Create the map name and the following mapping :
<ldap role> , admin
3. Save the changes
4. Navigate to <domain_home>/ucm/cs/data/providers/jpsuserprovider/provider.hda
add the following variable there :
ProviderCredentialsMap=<map name created in step 2>
5. Save the changes and restart ucm server .
After that login with the user who has the ldap role that is mapped in stpe 2 , this user will have the ucm admin role .
Hope this helps .
Thanks

Can I map iwtUser-role to an attribute in external LDAP???

Hi,
I am using external LDAP for authentication. In the Ext. LDAP I am using
there is an attribute named title in every user cn. I want to use this
attribute for portal to decide which role the user belongs to. I mapped
iwtUser-role to title in Ext. LDAP configuration. When I go to console I
see user(s) under the roles defined in title attribute(in Ext. LDAP).
From console if I try to change the desktop profile of a role and check
'apply changes to all subroles', it's not applying changes to all users
who have the title as that role (even though when I go to that user(s),
I see them under the right tole). However, when I look at the
iwtUser-role attribute in profile LDAP using a LDAP browser it shows
/domainname/defaultRole which is not the value mapped (in Ext. LDAP). Do
you have any idea why it is happeing? I would like to know if mapping
iwtUser-role to an attribute in Ext. LDAP is right thing in the first
place (I am doing this because the Ext. LDAP is already populated, I
have no roles in that, all users are at same level and I have permission
to change title attribute only in Ext. LDAP).
Thanks,
Siva Kancheti.

Block off the default role if you don't want anyone going into that role but only
the ones defined. You can do this by setting the filter to a value that will return
nothing. (example, title=nonexistant), since the search filter will not return
results, no one will be placed in that role (otherwise have to manually go into that
role and 'move' users).
Hope this helps,
Manon

TREX Search Result Layout: Can you change it?

Hi,
Is it possible to have different flavors for the TREX Search Result Layout?
Ideally would be through the use of parameters in the typical TREX URL. I know that "Navigation.xml" file is hard-coded.....
Thanks.

Thanks.
But I want to use my new LayoutSet using the URL-based interface to TREX:

RoleMapper with an external LDAP

Dear friends,
We use an external LDAP to store information related to users, groups and roles. We have managed to configure an out of box LDAP Authenticator within our realm for authentication. We wanted some guidance on configuring or writing RoleMapper.
1) What is good practise in terms of storing and managing roles? Is it a common practise to store roles in an external LDAP or do people use Admin console to created roles within the embedded LDAP? The advantage with the Embedded LDAP is definitely that you could use out of the box RoleMapper and the disadvantage is that we could not extend LDAP schema to store hierarchical roles.
2) If we store and manage roles in an external LDAP store, the same one where we store users and groups, could we still use the out of the box role mapper? If not, could someone provide a sample role mapper that uses an external LDAP store.
3) Why WebLogic doesn't provide an out of the box Role Mapper that connects to an external LDAP?

All Users Filter: (&(&(uid=*)(objectclass=person))(!(quitdate=*)))
User From Name Filter: (&(&(uid=%u)(objectclass=person))(!(quitdate=*)))
User Name Attribute: uid
Here you're configuring that uid is the key of your users in OID. And in your case user A and B has the same uid, so the webcenter can login using user B, but when realize a search uid=jack ldap returns the first one.
Make any sense for you?
Hope that I help you

External LDAP for authentication

Hi All,
I want to use external ldap for authentication purpose with Access Manager.
I tried adding this external ldap as a secondary ldap but couldn�t succeed.
If I add this ldap in the primary ldap along with the AM�s own ldap, this also fails to authenticate users from the external ldap.
How can I achieve this?
I read many topics in this forum regarding this but none of them explain how it can be achieved.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
