Connect Enterprise Portal to CUA?

Hello everyone - hope you can clear something up for me. I have searched online, in forums and my documentation but cannot find an answer.
Is it possible to connect EP 6.0 to CUA in the same manner one would connect child systems to the central system? I have seen conflicting info suggesting it is possible I believe for roles. I have also seen screenshots of a portal with a CUA tab under either System Adminnistration or User Administration.
I have a DEV and PRD CUA and each are connected to DEV and PRD LDAP servers. I would like to connect my DEV and PRD portals to each CUA. Is this possible? Is this functionality built-in to the portal?
When the users are created in LDAP they are automatically created in the portal as well. We run the LDAP synch job to populate CUA with the new users. Between eCATTS and CRMD_UI_ROLE_ASSIGN there is little work to assign roles in the ABAP systems (CRM 2007). However, I have to then manually assign the newly created portal users their roles/groups.
systems:
CRM 2007
EP 6.0
IBM TIvoli LDAP
If you have any ideas or knowledge on this subject I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Todd

> Any idea of how to actually connect the portal to CUA? For the life of me I cannot figure it out!
Nope, sorry. I think the trick is to connect the portal to a backend system in such a way that assigning roles in the backend automatically assigns roles in the portal. You can imagine that back end system being part of a CUA. I've seen it working but I am not within reach of that system now.
Maybe someone else can chip in.
Otherwise, have a look in the forum.

Configure SSO Connection from SAP Enterprise Portal to BOE Server

Hi Guys,
We recently installed a BOE Server and want to connect it to our SAP Enterprise Portal. What we need is just to display the Crystal Reports via Enterprise Portal. We have set up the following:
SAP EP with AD Authentication
SAP EP configured with SNC to SAP BI7 system
SAP BOE XI 3.1 - SAP Integration Kit
BOE Server configured with SAP Authentication via SAP BI7 System
We've also set up BOE IK iviews and URL iviews pointing to existing reports in BOE. However, when we access it from EP, it prompts for a username and login to BOE. Is there a way to configure these so that there is no prompt for login to BOE server and SSO is used? Is it also possible to have a service account (e.g. domain/crystal) that will run the reports in BOE everytime a user accesses a report from SAP EP?
Let me know if this is at all possible

Hi,
You should configure InfoView for SSO first, which required infoview.xml file modification, using windows AD default authentication. If you want to utilize the OpenDocument URL for iView then you also need to configure OpenDocument.xml file for SSO also. The SAP portal must have trust relation with the SAP BW server so the Windows AD token can be authenticate with SAP BW server.
If you want crystal user to run all the report then you will lose data security. It can be done by hard coding user name and password in the report properties and database logon but the SSO capability can be accomplished only by windows AD, SAP or LDAP.
For more details check BOXI Admin guide and SAP Integration Guide.
Thanks,
Muhammad

How to connect LDAP to Enterprise Portal

Hi Guru,
            I need complete steps to connect LDAP into enterprise portal as LDAP is microsoft AD existing one.
        I am confuse about the user mapping and authenticatation, compareing and Single sign one. Does we are calling Log on ticket to the first screen of enterprise portal where we enter user ID and password or ?.
             One situation is that one SAP Enterprise portal acts as comparing user id against AD(LDAP) and issue logon ticket. Other system who is accepting the logon ticket is also SAP Netweaver and has its own portal. It has it own login module.
          My first question is " How to establish connection to AD in to on SAP Enterprise Portal
Second is " How to establish connection to that SAP enterprise portal to SAP Netweaver own portal".
Third is " If we are trying to access to SAP Netweaver application through SAP Enterprise portal , how we can able to access, do we need to accesss through ivew of SAP Enterprise portal only or can we access the SAP Netweaver application as soon as we enter userid/passwd on first screen of Enterprise portal directly to SAP Netweaver application, without user the ivew of Enterprise portal
        If you guys understood this situation let me as soon as possible, cuz my boss is on my head. of send me your contack info to my email: [email protected]

Connect of 2 SAP BW systems to one SAP Enterprise Portal

Hi!
I have 2 SAP BW systems that should be integrated into SAP Enterprise Portal.
I currently have already one SAP system entry "SAP_BW" within SAP EP.
Questions
Is it possible to define second entry for second SAP BW system in order to use 2 SAP BW systems with one SAP EP in parallel?
Where can I find appropriate documentation?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
We have a pilot portal with BW DEV, QAS and PRD connected to it. So it is possible.
It may be more appropriate to post this in the portal forum to get expert advice.

BI content and SAP Enterprise portal connection

Hello All,
i m new to SAP enterprise portal , can anyone explain me the connection of BI content and Enterprise Portal.Please explain me the flow of publishing the Bi reports to EP.
Thnks in advc.

HI Sonal,
For publishing BI reports in portal you need to Integrate BI into Portal.
Please refer to SAP Notes:
916950
937697
They are very helpful.
Procedure for publishing after integrating BI with portal:
For this you need to create Roles-Worksets-Pages---Ivews.
The name of the report which you want to be displayed in TLN you need to make a Role for that and the tab under that name you need to create worksets for that and the content of the report you need to create an ivew for that in this way your report will be displayed in portal also you need to righht click on the workset and <add workset to Role>and similarly for ivew also keeping entry point "YES" for a role is mandatory with the main report name in TLN and and the sub tabs under below it and the content indetailed navigation.
For publishing simply create a Role --workset and an ivew .
During creation of an ivew the wizard will ask you for a Query string that Query will be given to you by your BI people you just neeed to copy that query after ? mark and paste it in and then save it hence your report is published in portal.
This is basically the proceddure for publishing BI reports in portal. You can ask any doubts if you hae in this.

Pooja

Open Service Connection to Enterprise Portal system from Solution Manager

Hi All,
We are getting below error, when we tried to Enable/Open Service Connection ( DSWP -> Solution Landscape ->Service Connection) to Enterprise Portal system.
Here we selected the row Connection -> R/3 support and Connection tab -> open/change connection and clicked on SUBMIT. The we got below short dump.
Runtime Errors         UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
Exception              CX_WD_CONTEXT
Short text
    An exception occurred that was not caught.
What happened?
    The exception 'CX_WD_CONTEXT' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere along the call hierarchy.
    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not adequately responded to, the running ABAP program
     'CL_WDR_CONTEXT_NODE===========CP' has to be
    terminated.
What can you do?
    Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
    To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
    administrator.
    Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
    at and manage termination messages, and you can also
    keep them for a long time.
Error analysis:
    An exception occurred which is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_WD_CONTEXT', was not caught and
    therefore caused a runtime error.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The node does not contain any elements. COMPONENTCONTROLLER.1.SYSTEMS.1.CLIENTS
How to correct the error:
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following keywords:
    "UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION" "CX_WD_CONTEXT"
    "CL_WDR_CONTEXT_NODE===========CP" or "CL_WDR_CONTEXT_NODE===========CM00R"
    "_RAISE_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND"
SMSY configuration ( logical component assignmnet) is alredy done. Is it required to do any other settings. SMD ( Solution Manager Diagnostics ) settings are not done. Is this required?
We are able to enable/open Service Connection open to ABAP system . Only for Java system we are getting error.
Please help me on this.
Thanks..

Changing Enterprise Portal Connection

Hi,
My EP 7.0 is connected to ECC 7.0 through one Dialog instance.(ECC>ECCAPP>Enterprise Portal->Users). I need to shift my EP 7.0 connection to new Dialog instance for the same ECC. The new Dialog instance has system no. 01 and the old Dialog instance has system no. 00. Now when i check webgui service (SICF) in new Dialog instance then it points to port 8001 and is not able to connect.
http://henfcclap.in.cclap.com:8001/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=900
What changes do i need to make so that webgui can connect to ECC at port 8001

Hi Vishal,
You need to change the WAS path of your system object to the new WAS path.

Connect 2 BW servers to one Enterprise portal

Hello Experts - Our client wants to have 1 Enterprise portal (with 2 SID's) and they want to hook-up 2 BW environments related 2 different business units. Is this setting possible? In one of the BI Admin cockpit documentation it was mentioned that we can have 2 BW servers can be monitored from one portal. I just wanted make sure this is possible in general. Appreciate your inputs.
Rgds,
Venu.

Hi Venu,
2 BW systems cannot be integrated into 1 single portal. And the reason is as follows. When you integrate a BW system in the portal, the portal recognies this BW system with the system alias SAP_BW. Since, system aliases are unique and always assigned to only one system at a time in the portal, this means that a 2nd BW system can no longer have the same alias SAP_BW. Thus, you will not be able to use the 2nd BW system simply because the portal always recognizes the first BW system which is having the alias SAP_BW.
Now, you have only 2 options:
1. Implement 2 portals, thus having one portal for each BW system.
2. Go as per point 1, and install a third portal in a federated manner so that the user always uses this third portal and the job of the first two portals is to supply data to the third portal. So this portal can show both the BW systems through application integration with the 2 portals.
However, my suggestion would be to have 2 portals only.
Best Regards,
Shitij

Hi,
How have you defined the property "WAS host" for the portal system that you have created for the back-end?
You might get this error if the way you have defined this WAS host property and the way you are calling the portal are different. For example, if your WAS host property is "<hostname>:<portnumber>" and you are calling your portal as "localhost:<portnumber>", then you will get this error.
Also are you connecting to your portal using the fully qualified domain name? Don't call the portal simply as
<i>http://<host>:<port>/irj</i> but call it as http://<host>.<domain>:<port>/irj.

Satyajit.

SSO (single sign on) on NetWeaver 7.0 Enterprise Portal based on spnego with Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
we are using SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal 7.0 (SP25) based on Windows 2008 R2/Oracle 11g.
When we setup the Portal, we used the UME of the ECC - ABAP.
The portal is used internally only.
Now we want to provide SSO.
User authenticate against Windows Active Directory (Windows 2003).
We thought SSO via spnego would be the best solution.
Any better alternates, we should use?
We are following the SAP documentation:
SAP-Bibliothek - Benutzerauthentifizierung und Single Sign-On
We still want to create users in ABAP and assign them the portal roles. LDAP access should only have read access, to verify the security token from Active Directory.
When we setup the portal from scratch using ABAP as its UME, in the system configuration, LDAP can't be selected/add as data source.
In case we understand the documentation correctly, we would now need to add LDAP via the configtool for read access.
What is not clear to us, when we active now LDAP via config tool, if we would now lose the ABAP connection.
Is there a tutorial for SSO Netweaver 7.0 EP, like for EP 7.3, available?
In 7.3 SSO is pretty simple to get it running, thanks to the many tutorials here and on the internet.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carlos Behlau

Hi,
I was able to generate the key via ktab program.
But when I am enable SSO, nothing is happening when I try to log-on via SSO to the portal.
I installed WebDiag tool on the portal server and ran trace.
The users are located in domain: company.com of activate directory.
The Java AS are located in domain: sap.company.com of activate directory.
The sap.company.com domain acts as child of company.com.
When I check the WebDiag trace, I see for the SPNegoLoginModule - the entry "... no key (etype: 23) for realm sap.company.com available ..."
I would except company.com as realm key, as the keytabs have been generated on the domain controller of company.com.
Is it possible to get SSO with child domain running?
Based on the statement of the network folks, child and father domain having a trust.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Carlos
