EIC Authentication in ESS

Hello,
We are trying to set up the EIC authentication service in ESS where  an employee can create/change the answers to the questions maintained on IT 0816. 
At first it looked pretty straigh forward, so we set up the questions for IT 0816 , and when tried to access the service through ESS, got an error + "An error occurred while data was read from your ERP system. Contact your system administrator". + .  Neither ST22 nor the portal logs could elaborate on the above error.
Digging deep into the SAP Help and IMG documentations, it seems there is a lot more needed to be done .... ( than just setting up questions on 0816).
Would like to know if anyone has tried this functionality before so that I can post more quesions as I am still "digging" into it... 
Thanks,
Javed

Yes, you can set up the authentication questions and use them in ESS without implementing EIC.
As Vaibhav mentioned, this can be done in the IMG --> Personnel management --> EIC (just below ESS) --> Authentication.  After defining the questions, make sure the query EIC_EMP_AUTH and the number field are assigned appropriately in the "Define Authentication Profile and Assign Grouping" node. Go through the help note on IMG node "Define query for authentication".
hope this helps.

  • EIC Authentication error in ESS

    Hi SDN,
    when I open the Employee Interaction Center(EIC) in Personal informaion (ESS), I am getting the following error,
    'An error occurred while data was read from your ERP system. Contact your system administrator.'
    How can I resolve this error?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Have you configured EIC first??
    You have to configure EIC on ECC system.. then it should work.
    Check this help link...

  • Change in EIC Authentication Query and Infoset

    Hi
    There was a requirement to see "Bank Name" as an aunthetication ques/ans in the EIC Aunthentication query, so I changed the Infoset and added a addtional field in IT0009, and wrote code for the same.
    I added the field in the query and ticked on List field also, the answer reflects on the screen but the label 'Bank Name' does not reflect in QUes area.
    Any idea how to bring it there?

  • Viewing and modifying deployed ess appls in NWDS

    Hi All,
    we successfully installed and configured NWDI and created tracks and imported the relevant sca files in the Development system. At this point of time, we want to open up one of the ess applications in NWDS to be able to understand the structure of such applns and then modify them. We hv some questions regarding the same:
    1) For modification of ess application, do we need to import the track in CMS in the consolidated system. What is the purpose of the Consolidated System and importing the track in it?
    2) To be able to import an ess appln in NWDS, we created a project of type DC (we already imported the necessary development configuration) and tried to create a project but failed with error msg 'unable to create DC and check for errors in logs'. Where are these logs located? im unable to find any in the ide folder..?I know this is not enough info to wrk with..alternatively are there any step-by-step guides on importing/creating ess applns in NWDS? I'm already referring to the document 'custom development of web dynpro ess applns using FPM' ..any guidance in these initial steps is appreciated.
    thanks in advance!
    prachi

    Thanks both for your response.
    Seshu: I'm already referring the nwdi cookbook. i do see the step on importing tracks in consolodation but no explanation on why its required. Also how can I identify the relevant web dynpro application for a relevant ess screen. i dont understand the architecture of the components/applications. Take for eg ess/per, i was under the impression that it was the WD application for personal information and would hv the relevant iViews on Banks, Addresses, Personal Data, EIC Authentication etc that we see on portal. But i see different DCs for banks, addresses, etc under the locale-specific folder. whereas the DCs like ess/ben, ess/per see to hv only some generic navigation iViews etc..Could you advise on how to go about understanding the architecture of all these DCs?
    Bala: Im getting errors when creating a DC project in NWDS. why would i hv to refer the server logs in nwa for this?
    Thanks!

    Looks like authorization issue. Could you confirm whether proper authorizations have given to this user?
    Also, run the application again get an error and then go to Transaction ST22 and see if there is any system dump for this user.

    Hi Bala,
    It is happening for all users. I checked the authorizations in the backend. The roles assigned to the user has the following authorizations: S_RFC, S_SERVICE, S_TCODE, S_DATASET, S_TABU_DIS, S_WF_WI, P_TRAVL, PLOG, P_ABAP, P_ORGIN, P_ORGINCON, P_ORGXXCON, P_PCLX, P_PERNR, P_TCODE, M_BANF_BSA, M_BANF_EKG, M_BANF_EKO, M_BANF_WRK, M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKG, M_BEST_EKO, M_BEST_WRK.
    In portal the user is assigned the ESS and Standard portal user role.
    The transaction ST22 shows the following:
        The user "TESTUSER9" has no RFC authorization for the function group                         
        "SDIFRUNTIME". Please contact your system administrator to give you                          
        the RFC authorization for the required function groups (such as "SDIFRUNTIME").              
        The RFC authorization object is S_RFC.

  • How to include all the child OU groups of a master OU group in LDAP authentication

    Dear All,
    I am using Apex 4.2 on windows server 2012 on internet explorer with database 11g R2 all 64 bit.
    we are using Microsoft Active Directory Authentication in our domain.
    I have created two protals, Staff Portal and Student Portal
    I have two groups, Staff and Students. these two groups coming under HCT group.
    I want to configure LDAP authentication for these groups, so that student cannot login to staff portal and vice versa.
    I had created on authentication schema in apex.
    inititally I configured as below
    for example I have a group ETC, inside ETC I have CSS in active directory,
    DN String=cn=%LDAP_USER%,dc=hct,dc=org
    Use Exact distinguish name=YES
    LDAP Username edit function=
    return apex_escape.ldap_dn (
                 p_string => :USERNAME,
                 p_escape_non_ascii => false ) || ',ou=users,ou=css,ou=etc,ou=staff,ou=hct'   ;
    Username Escaping=NO ESCAPING
    and it is working,
    now I have another group under ETC, which is ESS. how to include ESS also? I mean how to include all the child groups of a master group?
    because I will then only include the STAFF ou and the rest of the ou which coming under staff will come automatically.
    please refer to this thread for more details.
    Re: Re: Different LDAP authentication for Student and Staff Active directory groups
    Thank you.

    Powershell (or vbscript if you want to be old school).
    You can trigger a powershell script which will remove the offending user(s) easily enough with out resorting to a TOLDAP pass.  Nearly any script type thing would work but powershell is preferred.  It can be triggered separately from the TO AD stuff and will take multiple objects to run in one pass if you can construct the command line (or create a text file and feed it in).
    Otherwise, TOLDAP is the way to write to AD...

  • Logon issue with Integrated ESS in ECC 6.0

    Hello,
    We are upgrading to ECC 6.0 from 4.6C. We do not plan to use Portal. PZM3 is not allowed in ECC 6 as 'Screen flow logic' services are not permitted. We had a SSO enabled in the 4.6C system from Win NT using the NT Auth service -- which let users go into ESS services w/o any prompt for login. Currently the ESS services in ECC 6.0 asks for login during first logon after that it doesn't prompt. Can we do the same thing (like that of 4.6C) in the new Integrated ESS(iESS) by using existing tickets issued by Win NT? If not is their any other way SSO can be achieved by not using Portal but by just using iESS? Please advise. Thank you.

    Hi Kshitij,
    SAP note 858138 provides some information about external authentication that is available with SAP Netweaver and points to the related documentation.

  • Can Employee submit Complaints electronically in ESS portal(Urgent)

    Hello,
    Could any one please answer this question,
    The client wants the Employees to submit their Grievance(complaints) electronically through ESS?
    Is any functionality available in ESS so that EE can enter complaints and send or do we need to customize this?
    Regards,
    Latha

    Latha when you look at developing grivence system then it all depends on what kind of system do you need.
    You can look at EIC as one option but there are no escalations involved in this.
    It is a system where you as an employee can raise justified errors like "error in payslip" that can be proved.
    Otherwise you should go for a development and that can be using hrforms adobe or for that matter any technology.
    Chris any suggestion.
