Hi Ainsley,
A work around? Yes and no and sort of ...kind of...
This turns out to be quite complex and tempermental.
In short, you cannot use Windows AD authentication, but instead use LDAP (with the Microsoft Active Directory). We were able to get this to work with much effort. The biggest limitation is that it supports a single AD forest.
I am giving a presentation on silent single sign on for BI4 and Enterprise Portals at the SAP BO User Confernce in Orlando and will see about posting the slides after the conference, but can share some of the resources here that we found to be most useful. Please reach out to me if I can help further.

Before being able to see Portal Roles you need to run a Role synch as mentioned in section

of above doco. The portal master data brings in iViews and UME actions only!

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 possibleHi,
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,

Performance issue of BI Reports in SAP Enterprise portal -in SAPNW2004s
Dear friends,
We are integrating BI Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 ( SAP NW- 2004s).The reports are running properly .But the issue here is reports are taking long time to open and leading it to performance effect.
Reports in BEX( Bi side) working lilttle better than EP platform.
And Even BI team is looking for ways to improve the performance.
Could you please share your ideas to implement in portal side to increase the performance.
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar ReddyHello Mr. Reddy,
There are two possibilities for slow performance in BW reports, so we need to look into wether its slow in the BW system or at the frontend.
If the problem resides in the BW system then we should be able to trace the reports
and you can go for a SAP EW or GV sessin and SAP will provide recommendations.
If the problem resides at the frontend
Update the frontend servers to the latest frontend release.
Recommended Frontend Release 700
Recommended Frontend Patch 18
Update the frontend servers to the lates SAP GUI release as soon as possible.
Minimum Recommended SAP GUI Release 6.40
Your frontend PCs should fulfill the following requirements:
Each frontend PC should have 500 MHz and 128 MB main memory.
Because of a limit in the addressable memory, Windows 95 is not supported as Frontend OS for 3.X BW Systems. Please refer to SAP Notes 161993, 321973 and 366626 for details.
Please also check SAP Note 147519 "Maintenance strategy/ deadlines 'SAPGUI'".
If you still require any assistance from SAP support then raise a message under component ( probably BW-BEX-ET-WEB).
Provide your input, if you have any.
Thank you,

Performance issue of BI reports in SAP Enterprise portal
Dear Friends,
We have integrated BI reports with SAP Enterprise portal 7.0.Reports are running properly But the issue is reports are taking more time to dispsaly its content and leading it to performance effect.
In Bex ( BI side) reports performance is little better than SAP EP platform. BI Team also looking for ways to improve performance at BI side.
Could you please share your valuable ideas to improve the performance at SAP EP side also ..
Thanks and Regards
Ratnakar ReddyHi ratnakar,
The first step is to identify which component is causing the performance problem. Run your report in the portal but try appending the string &PROFILING=X in the end of the URL. This will generate BI statistics which you can use to see which component (Java stack, ABAP stack, Database) is causing the performance issue.
Hope this helps. -
Is there User Group and Role Reporting in SAP Enterprise Portal?
I want to know if there is a way to pull users statistics our of SAP Enterprise Portal like you can out of the R3 backend systems.
I would like functionality similar to the SUIM transaction. I know through user administration you can access any user, even a list of all users, and you can do similar lists with roles and groups. You can then access any of these things individually and look at their assignments. However, I want to do this on a large scale. I want to know for example every group that has a user assigned to it. Evergroup that has roles assigned to it. Or groups that have no user or role assignments. We have approximately 1904 groups in our Production Portal system and I am trying to clean up the groups that have no user assignment, but I don't want to look through them one by one.Hi Chris,
There is no standard report available for this purpose. However all this information is stored in table UME_STRINGS.
You can write your own SQL queries to generate such reports. However please note that this table is not normalized, and it's a master UME table. You should use it strictly for READ ONLY purpose.
For a sample code you which i wrote some time back, you might refer:

Two sap enterprise portal in the same server
Hi,
We have installed a SAP Enterprise Portal on a linux server, all ok!!. but now we want to install another SAP Portal in the same server with the same ehp and same sp, but diferent url, is it possible? and we have something in mind when we began to install it..
e.g. diferents ports or diferents database SID to avoid errors.
thankssssHi Carlos,
SAP Software in general is flexible regarding this requirement.
A SAP ID identifies the system, and the Instance ID is related to the Portnumbers that are used...
So lets say you have an:
- host called "linuxhost1" and
- you installed a SAP system "AB1" and
- the CI is 00 and SCS is 01
then you can install multiple additional installations for example
- host called "linuxhost1" and
- you installed a SAP system "AB2" and
- the CI is 02 and SCS is 03
etc etc..
As long as your host has enough resources you can fill it up...
The instance numbers you chose are reflected in the portnumbers. So in my example above the AB1 portal is called by http://linuxhost1:50000 and AB2 portal is called by http://linuxhost1:50200...
So in other words the instance number of the CI is used in the portnumber of the java instance (5NN00).
The above info is also spread among different SAP installation guides, and SAP help pages.
Cheers,

Integration of WEBI report in SAP Enterprise portal
Hi Colleagues,
I want to create my adhco report using WEBI and want to publish it to SAP NW Enterprise portal .
While creating the i view in the EP i dint find any option in i view template in order to create an i view for WEBI report .
However there is an option to choose crystal report as a template while creating an i view but nothing for WEBI and Xcelsius as such. So how can we embedd our Xcelsius and WEBI report in SAP Enterprise portal .
Is there any option to intergate the SAP NW Enterprise portal and BO Portal .
Kindly sugest.
Vibhav.You should be using opendocument links if using EP. with opendocument the URL contains all the pertinent info.
refer to chapter 8 of the SAP Integration kit guide for more info.
Post in the webi, general, or check out the outher documents link in the forum sticky post for the latest opendocument doc.

What versions of the SAP Enterprise Portal support Java 5
What versions of the SAP Enterprise Portal support Java 5?
Example:
If we were to use Java 5 code for an iView what versions of the portal would it run in?
I have reviewed the Product Availability Matrix (PAM) and this is not clear. All I can find are references to JAVA 4 when using EP 6.Hi Alejandro,
Currently, the version of SAP NetWeaver that is J2SE 5.0 as well as Java EE 5 compatible is the [SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment (NW CE)|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-ce]. It does not provide the "full" Portal capabilities, however it does come with a "Portal Lite" and supports Portal applications development scenarios.

SAP Enterprise portal "portal content" keeps on loading not opening
SAP Enterprise portal portal content keeps on loading and not opening only in my system(computer).When I check the console for errors, I found the below error,
SCRIPT5007: The value of the property 'loadXml' is null or undefined, not a Function object
dynamicLoad.js, line 58 character 1
Please let me know whether I need to change any settings related to browser or any other issue.Hi Venkatesh,
Make sure the hostname you use in your URL (short and FQDN) can be resolved.
ie:
myportal:<port>/irj
myportal.mycompany.com:<port>/irj
eg: in your hosts file make sure
10.23.2.50 myportal myportal.mycompany.com
Also after all the changes you have made, empty your browser cache and also force a GET by using cntrl+F5 key.
