Creating users in enterprise portals with CUA as userbase

Hi All,
we are using CUA system for maintaining the users and we want this users to be used in enterprise portals. So while installing WebAs itself, we specified the connection details to this CUA system. then we installed portal and we were able to view the users of CUA in portal.
now i am creating a user from portal, create user option in UserManagement. but i just get an error like, could not create a user.
i checked out in system administration->umconfiguration-> sap system. all the details that we specified during the webas installation appear there by default.
so could you please let me know what the problem could be
thank you

Portal with CUA userbase

Hi,
Our Scenario:
We are using portal with CUA userbase.
But, now we want to use the portal for a Non-CUA system users ( this system is not part of CUA)
How can I set up the portal authentication ? Can I setup two user bases ?
Please advice

Are you talking about the same portal or different portal systems ?
If you are talking about the same portal, the only option I see is to add the other users to the CUA. If you are talking about a two portal installations, there is no problem, except that for SSO, the users have to have the same name in both installations.

How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset

What I would like to achieve:
A program loads a report in runtime updates list of database fields (possibly includes sample data), open report in "Crystal Reports 2011" (or 2008) where user customizes report and saves it. Later on the program loads the report, fills actualized data and displays it in .net report viewer.
What I do:
CrReport = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
CrReport.Load(TemplateFilename)
Dim Results As DataTable
DataTable is filled from a database
CrReport.SetDataSource(mResults)
CrReport.SaveAs(NewReportPath, True)
The NewReportPath is opened in the default program.
What are the problems
The report is open in preview mode (not in design).
When the field is added to the report the designer asks for XML datasource on preview.

The short answer is that it is not possible. I broke the question to other two: How to save a report that it opens without preview? and How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset, where it is possible to find details. Key answer is Re: How to create an editable previewable report?

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..

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.

How to retrieve all users in the portal with UME API

Hi everybody,
I would like to know how to retrieve all the users from a portal, which uses LDAP as a source (there are users created in the portal as well)
My code snippet is :
IUserFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
UserSearchFilter searchFilter = userFactory.getUserSearchFilter();
searchFilter.setDisplayName("*", ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
ISearchResult searchResult = userFactory.searchUsers(searchFilter);
My problem is that with the code above, only the users created in the portal are displayed, and no LDAP users.
Does someone know how to retrieve all the users whatever is the source?
Regards
Renaud

prakash's code should work.
however, mine code below doesn't user a search filter. it retrieves everyuser including users like indexadmin etc. Note:
result.next().toString();
returns a weird uniqueID used in the portal world.
getUniqueName()
gives your the usernames (sAMAccountName in Microsoft AD) people use to logon to the portal.
try {
IUserFactory uf = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
ISearchResult result = uf.getUniqueIDs();
while (result.hasNext()) {
    String uniqueid = result.next().toString();
    IUser user = uf.getUser(uniqueid);
    String userid = user.getUniqueName();
} catch(Exception e) {
//systemout

Integration of SAP enterprise portal with ATG dynamo platform

This is more an architectural question.
There is an existing web application running on the ATG 5.x/6.x B2C platform that takes orders from dealers for a retailer. It integrates with a SAP system using proprietary integration mechanisms. This is the existing architecture.
There is a idea to use the SAP netweaver platform, specifically the SAP enterprise portal that will integrate with the ATG dynamo platform.
ATG 6.2 and above allows integration in 2 ways :
1) Use web services
2) Integration framework using JMS/RPC etc
[Pl. see the ATG documentation www.atg.com/support]
I have been reading thru number of articles on SAP netweaver and looking for multiple options for the above integration.
My theoretical understanding is:
a) Develop a connector to the ATG platform using connector framework and invoke a web service on the ATG platform that expose the business logic built on the ATG platform
b) Does SAP XI come into picture if the portal tries to create a business process out of one single application.
c) Are there any other options?
I'm completely new to the SAP netweaver platform but have a good idea on SOA.
Any help or inputs on this will be highly appreciated.

Hello,
I can give you a suggestion from the Connector framework point of view. We are currently developing a generic webservice connector which will enable to create content using CF, which will be sent as WS requests for function execution. The connector is planned to be released for New-York 7.1 Netweaver branch. For the mean time I can suggest, as you did, to develop your CF connector which will connect to ATG exposed WS.

Ran

E-Recruiting questionnaire for users using Enterprise Portal

Dear All,
We use Enterprise Portal 6.0 for internal candidates to access e-Recruiting 3.0.
Users do not need to have password to e-Recruiting as they can access as communication user with SSO.
However, when recruiter sends a questionnaire to internal candidates, they need to logon with credentials to e-Recruiting, which they don't know.
Does anybody have any idea on the workaround, or any technical solution to synchronize the credentials between EP and e-Rec?
Thank you in advance for your advise.
Best regards,
Emi

Hi Bharat,
Thank you for your information.
Yes, it is true that we can insert the link to questionnaire, user ID and password in the correspondence.
However, as far as I know, if you insert a password in the correspondence, it always generates a new password and I don't want this to happen for external candidates who are accessing e-recruiting directly.
Is there a way just to show the current password, without generating a new one in the correspondence smartform?
Thank you.

Create user problem in portal 9ias release 2

I have 9iAS release2 running. I am able to create new portal user. But when I try to create user using
wwsso_app_user_mgr.create_user and wwsec_api.add_portal_user I get
following error
ora-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
Any idea why?
How could I create portal user?
I need to create user automatically through scripts.
Thanks,
Diego

Diego,
I have been working on this problem as well, that of creating users and assigning them to groups via pl/sql. What I have found is that non of the wwsec apis work. It appears that al user and group stuff need to be managed via the DBMS_LDAP package. There are examples of adding users in the DBMS_LDAP reference. Adding and removing from groups is a little harder to find info on, but there is an example out there by Erwan Lancien (Ithink) that I hae been able to get to work for my situation with minor changes.

Implementing Application gateway for 2 enterprise portals with backend syst

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario where in we have 2 different portal with backend SAP systems attached to them. We want to expose those to internet. we have an SSL certificate with a FQDN https://www.XXX.com
Can we have a mechanism in the application gateway wherein we can bifurcate the two portals by https://www.XXX.com/abc and https://www.XXX.com/xyz so that different users can logon to specific portal.
should we use a web dispatcher or apache reverse proxy for this scenario.
Awaiting your reply.
Regards,
Vinayak

Hi,
A while ago you had no choice then Apache Reverse Proxy...
Since a while now SAP has enhanced the Web Dispatcher so that one web dispatcher installation can handle more than one system. Check the following articles for details:
Overview: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/03/afe24bfeb7419b9172ffb6e7636926/frameset.htm
Detail: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/b0/ebfa88e9164d26bdf1d21a7ef6fc25/frameset.htm
Example: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/b0/ebfa88e9164d26bdf1d21a7ef6fc25/frameset.htm
PS you still can choose to use the Apache Rev Proxy foor this but now you also have an native SAP alternative ....
Cheers and good luck,

E-Recruiting - Created users in R/3 with a determinated prefix?

Can I config E-Recruting to create the external candidate users in R/3 with a determinated prefix username (like user: ZERXXXXX). And can I set the roles that the new user have?
Thx.

Hello Pablo,
there is no setting for defining the algorithm to generate the username for an external candidate. In standard sap generates the user as MD5 hash from the alias. As the external candidate logs in by using the alias sap thinks this is enough, although having a pattern for these users is quite handy in some situations e.g. for administration. A workaround here could be a usergroup. Since a note from 2009 SAP hands the usergroup assignment of the reference user to the user of the external candidate which can be very helpful. If you really want to influence the username the easiest option would be an enhancement to class CL_HRRCF_CANDIDATE_REGISTER method GENERATE_USERNAME. But be aware that the standard generates 11 letter/digit usernames to ensure uniqueness. If you add a prefix longer than 1 letter you should add some lines to check it.
The roles for exernal candidates are much easier. As the whole authorization assignment to the external candidate is done through the reference user you are free to choose how you name the role(s) you assign to it. Two additional hints here. In spite of the reference user mechanism the authorization checks for role assignment are still in place so if you change the name of the roles for the external candidate be sure to adapt the role of the unregistered user accordingly. Furthermore DO NOT USE THE SAP STANDARD ROLES. The standard roles for the unregistered candidate and the recruiter allow the assignment of SAP_ALL to users!
Best regards
Roman
