ESS/MSS Logon problems

Question

Hi all,
I have configured ESS/MSS and the works using the config docs provided in this forum.
The problem I am having is as follows:
I have a user in ECC5 - ESS_USER1
The same is created on Portal - ESS_USER1
The logon works fine....
But if I logon to portal with another User ESS_USER2 which does not exists in Portal, I am not able to logon.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.... have I missed something....?????
thanx in advance
Deepak

Answer 1

Here is the "chain"....
+portal user
.....tied to backend ECC5.0 with either SSO or User Mapping...
.....+ backend ECC5.0 user
...........tied to employee record by the employee ID
to tie a system user to employee record....
1)execute t-code PA30
2)select the employee id you need (personnel number)
3)enter infotype 0105 (communication) in the input box at the bottom
4)enter subtype 0001 (SAP userid)
5)select "create"(or "change") icon in the top left
6)on the screen the follows enter the SAP userid to tie to the employee and enter the date range when this goes into effect.
sooooo to answer your question, the backend users must exist in the front end portal UM repository (wherever you are pointing the portal to look for all your users...ie. user pool) as well.
