Defaulting LDAP mapped user language

We have implemented the SAP GRC tools and have successfully set up our server to authenticate users via LDAP.
The GRC applications require a default language to be set up prior to use and we do not store this informatio in our LDAP directory. I have a few questions:
Is there a way to set up a default language for all users?
Is there a way to have a hard coded value placed into the language field when the sync is done with our LDAP directory?
Any pointers would be helpful,

Hi John!
We have the similar problems.
Have you solved this problem&
Experts, give any advices please.

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,

Set user Language in URL IView

Hello,
I am trying to put the Language of the user in the parameters of the URL.
For example :
http://sopraganesh.cr.infra.lab/redirect.asp?page=ECD&lang=en
How can I parameter the URL IView to automatically retrieves the language of the connected user?
Thanks for your help,
AN

Hi
Once you have defined the iViews URL to the targeted Web page, you may need to configure parameters that are passed to the information source as part of the URL. In the URL iView Editor, you can do the following to URL parameters:
·        Add, remove, and modify URL parameters
·        Determine whether or not portal end user can view and personalize URL parameters at runtime
·        Assign intuitive display names to URL parameters that are viewed or personalizable by portal end users
·        Specify the URL request method (GET or POST)
If you navigated to the targeted Web page and defined the iView URL using the portal built-in browser, the URL parameters and request method may already been defined in the URL iView Editor.
Procedure
       1.      Open the iView in the URL iView Editor.
The editor does not display URL-specific parameters in the URL address within the URL box. URL parameters that were part of the URL referencing the selected Web page (the information source) are automatically removed from the source URL and displayed in the URL parameter list in the editor. At runtime, the portal automatically appends the URL and the listed parameters to the targeted URL request.
       2.      In the Request Method option, choose either GET or POST to specify the request method. The request method indicates how the browser sends information to the information source:
Request Method
Description
GET
This request method appends parameters to the URL when the data request is sent to the information source. The server receives the data in one long query string, which typically limits the length of parameters that can be passed.
For example, a URL using the GET request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP where querystring indicates the parameter identifier and SAP is the parameter value.
POST
This request method sends parameters for the URL in the header of the data request stream; parameters are not appended to the URL. This allows for long parameters to be passed to a script and parsed one element at a time.
For example, a URL using the POST request method would be: http://www.google.com/search.asp.
POST is only supported when the Fetch Method property defined in the iView is set to Server-side. For more information, see URL iView Properties.
For iViews that have a mixture of parameters sent by GET and POST together, you must:
§         Choose POST as the request method.
§         Set the Fetch Mode property to Server-side
§         Append the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix to the parameter identifier of each parameter that is sent by GET. For example, a parameter defined as searchstring should be defined as GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring. When the iView sends a data request, the prefix is removed from the parameter identifier at runtime. Parameters sent by POST do not require a special prefix.
       3.      To add a parameter, click Add below the table. A new entry is added to the parameter list.
To remove a parameter, select the checkbox of the relevant parameter in the list and click Remove. Before doing so make sure the parameter is not required by the information source.
       4.      Define the attributes of existing or new parameters, as follows:
Attribute
Description
URL Parameter
Specifies the parameter identifier as recognized by the information source. For example, in the URL http://www.google.com/search.asp?&querystring=SAP, the parameter identifier is querystring.
As stated above, parameters that need to be sent by GET when the request method is defined as POST, must have the GET_EXPLICIT_ prefix. For example: GET_EXPLICIT_searchstring.
Enter special characters that are present in the parameter identifier as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code. For example, enter first name, and not first%20name. At runtime, the portal will encode special characters to ASCII when fetching the iView data.
Value
Specifies the value of the parameter. This is not mandatory.
If you set the parameter as a variable that can be personalizable by end users (see following attribute), then this value will be the parameters default value. However, if you set the parameter as not personalizable, then this value is the fixed value of the parameter.
Enter special characters present in the parameter value as is. Do not convert them to ASCII code.
Type
Specifies the data type of the parameter.
Choose one of the following options:
·        String: Apply this option for all data types whose property is not a mapped user name or password; for example, an integer or string.
·        Mapped User: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a user name that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
·        Mapped Password: Apply this option when the URL parameter designates a password that is required to authenticate the user with the information source at runtime.
§         When Mapped User and Mapped Password are selected, the Value and Personalize attributes cannot be edited.
§         If you want to enable user mapping for the user name and password parameters, in the System drop down-down list, choose an appropriate system already defined in the portal, which contains the necessary settings. See Selecting a System.
Personalize
Specifies whether or not portal end users can view the parameter and its assigned value if they personalize the iView at runtime. This attribute also allows you to determine whether or not end users can personalize the parameter value.
Choose one of the following options:
·        Hidden: The end user does not see the parameter and its value. This is the default setting.
·        Read / Write: The end user sees the parameter and is able to modify its value.
·        Read Only: The end user sees the parameter and the fixed value assigned to it. The end user cannot modify the parameter value.
Name
Specifies an intuitive display name for the parameter identifier. If you set the parameter to be viewable by end users at runtime, this name is displayed instead of the parameter identifier, which is often abbreviated and unintuitive.
This attribute is available only if Read / Write or Read Only is selected in the Personalize attribute. If you do not specify a name, the Personalize attribute will be reverted to Hidden.

Overwrite user language

Hi all,
we are looking for a way to overwrite the user language which is delivered either by LDAP (used for authentication) or by the users' browser settings. We would like to allow login in German/English, other languages should be mapped to English.
Has anyone an idea?
Our release: version=6.0.2.4.6
Thanks in advance

HI Martina,
I have the same requirement. Did you find any solution ?

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

How many entries is embedded LDAP of weblogic 8.1 capable to store ? let's assume we use default LDAP schema being defined in schema.core.xml

"ming qin" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]..
I would like to have entries as users.There are a few issues that arise as the number of users increases. The
first is management
of all these users. Will you be able to load/update/manage all of the users
via the WLS console?
You can certainly use external LDAP tools to manage the data in the WLS
embedded LDAP
server, but using an external LDAP server may offer better tools for
management than those
offered in WLS.
The second is performance. Since the ldap server embedded within WLS uses
in-memory
indices, the time to load the indices and the memory required for storing
them increases as
the number of users increases. 20-50K seems to have reasonable performance.
The last is extensibility. The WLS default authenticator stores user,
description, and password.
You may have different requirements and want to store additional
information.

External ldap mapping & portal 6.2

Hello
To my knowledge external ldap mapping is not supported in portal 6.0 & portal 6.1, my question is it implemented in portal 6.2 ?! , If not is there any workaround that can solve this issue and considered as a professtional solution !

Yes, you can do authentication against your existing
external LDAP and dynamicaly create user profiles
in your local LDAP(which can be physically on a different box)
The "professtional name" for this configuration is:
LDAP "profile server" with "external authentication" LDAP.

Render page as per User language after login

Hello,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6 with ADFBC and Faces.
In our application, user can set default language. It is expected that after login, all contents should be displayed as per user language locale (assuming locale is supported and locale specific resource bundle exists).
So there is SignInPage and HomePage. I need to access the DB (using methodAction binding for a AM method, that reads the user preference and returns the language) before forwarding to HomePage.
Code to forward to HomePage is something like this:
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
request.getRequestDispatcher(forwardUrl);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
ctx.responseComplete();
End User locale handling is done by defining ViewHandler class in faces-config file. Implementation is explained here
Problems faced:
1) I tried to execute the operation binding but got null pointer...in FacesCtrlActionBinding._execute(FacesCtrlActionBinding.java:252)
2) I tried to redirect using external.encodeActionURL(actionURL) but got illegalStateException...Response is already committed
It works fine if user after login either just press F5 to refresh the page OR reset the language again using the preference screen.
How do I get it to work at login? Where can I tap-in the methodAction call between SignInPage and HomePage, so that HomePage is rendered according to language?
Any help/pointer is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jai

Hi,
1) I tried to execute the operation binding but got null pointer...in FacesCtrlActionBinding._execute(FacesCtrlActionBinding.java:252)
If you mean ADF operation binding then this only is available if a request is routed through the binding filter. Note that the PageDef file for a page needs to be parsed before the content becomes available as an object at runtime.
2) I tried to redirect using external.encodeActionURL(actionURL) but got illegalStateException...Response is already committed
Why don't you use facesContext --> externalContext --> redirect(...) to perform the redirect, The dispatcher.forward() surely doesn't do this
3) How do I get it to work at login? Where can I tap-in the methodAction call between SignInPage and HomePage, so that HomePage is rendered according to language?
Programmatic authentication as explained in the Fusion Developer Guide (chapter 30 if I recall correctly) would give you a chance to set the language. However, the language is not set on the ViewObject but should be set on JSF by changing the default language, e.g.
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(Locale.ENGLISH);

AE Crash trying to get the user 'language' registry key

This is a strange crash I get just opening all sorts of different AE projects.
<140735243008352> <ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry> <0> Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.5.1\ Defaulting to 'en_US'.
It happens on a wide variety of projects just on opening them. Almost all are 720p. but some have footage, others are just PSD or other image files (PNG, JPG). Many of them have trapcode particular 2.1/form 2, but some don't.
I have to find another project, open it, and then hope it doesn't cause a crash. If not, then I can go back and open the project that crashed upon opening and it works fine. It may open a few times without problems, and then upon opening it another time, it will crash with the same warning.
I have a MacPro 2.66 GHz quad-core with 16GB RAM running 10.7.1 with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 card with 512MB of memory.
Seems rather bizarre to crash on trying to get a language registry setting, so any ideas for correcting this would be most helpful. Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue with After Effects. I have Adobe After Effects CS5.5 (v.10.5.1) and it keeps crashing when switching between AE and other programs. Here's a video of what's happening with mine.
I don't have any special plug-ins loaded except for what came with the program. OpenGL rendering is turned on and have tried turning it off to see if it make the problem go away and it doesn't make a difference.
Greatly appreciate any assistance I can get on this.

Assigning Default Printer to User

Greetings;
My apologies for the double posting, my previous posting was labeled "adding printers", a matter I eventually solved.
I am trying to determine how I can recreate what in NIS was printers.conf / printers.conf.byname.
The former NIS map was a map which contained one pair per line, "username printerA", for instance:
smith hp001
jones hp002
taylor hp001
I had a simple script, that upon login, read this printer from the NIS map, and assigned it as that users default printer.
I am at a loss as to how to assign default printers to users, or how to import (ldapaddent fails) this map, or perhaps just create a new database that can be inserted into my DIT?
Is their someplace within DSCC that can do this?
Thank you.

Hello Tison,
we're using also the WF-BATCH user having no default printer assigned and it works fine with the final release.
However, there's usually the output message NEU with a prerequesite maintained that the PO has to be finally released. So this way there can be an additional output message found upon releasing. But we have a printer assigned using the condition records and we're not using the type that you've specified.
So I'd guess that, indeed, the problem lies within the message. You could copy the WF-BATCH user to a dialog user and release the purchase order in dialog and see what happends.
With the very best wishes,
Florin

Invalid resource 'LDAP' for user

I want to integarate IDM with LDAP.Test connection is working when i intergarate with LDAP.I got the status as "succeeded" on full reconcilation and I was able to create users through IDM.I could see the users created in LDAP too...In IDM when i click assignments tab i get "Inalid resource 'LDAP' for user '12121'.Here,'12121'is my account id. I don't know wat mistake i have made.Please anyone of u help me out in this problem.

hehehe... no problem.
There's a flag somewhere that gives you the option of omitting the domain. If you do, it defaults to the domain that the content server is on. I think you can get there from the "active directory" config link at the top of the "filter debug" administration page. Its kind of buried...

Customizing default LDAP attributes. Is it possible?

Hello,
Does anybody knows if there is a way to give default LDAP attributes (such mail, mailAlternateAddress, and so on...) write permissions?
There is some notes explaining how to customize 'extra' LDAP attributes, but nothing about default ones.
TIA,
Carlos.

What are you trying to achieve? The attributes you're talking about are there to be written by the admin user(s) for provisioning users. If you're having problems writing them, what user do you use?

Fixed language in docs independently of user language system login

Hi all
I'm not sure this is possible:
I would like to configure the system so that it guarantees that all documents/reports/maps or any other texts are shown or printed in ES language independently of the user language system login.
All texts will be translated to ES language. But I want to assure, that if user enters in any other language, the texts remain in ES...
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Hello Eric,
the BSP Forum would be the better place to post this message, I suppose.
The list of languages in the system/login.htm comes from the list of languages which are customized for your SAP Web AS.
That means if you want to have french you should customize your SAP Web AS for French.
Please check out the SAP docu for further details how to do this.
