SAP Portal : authorizations acceptance form

Hi All,
We are thinking of automating our approval process for user authorizations.
What we need is that any user should able to login to SAP through the internet and should be able to submit an accepted digital document of his authorizations to the approver for approval.
Can this can be done with SAP EP only or any other interfaces are needed?. Please share the documents if any.
Best Regards,
DVRK

Hi,
unfortunately, I am not aware of any simple way how to do this. In more complex landscapes as it's your case you would have a dedicated system that is responsible for provisioning users in all systems. So this system would assign all required roles in ABAP AS as well as in portal. I am talking about something like SAP Identity Management.
You could try to build some duct tape solution but in the end this does not usually pays off.
Cheers

Adobe Form called from SAP Portal, not executing interface global init code

Hello!
I have an adobe form called from both R/3 and SAP Portal and I need to show long text dinamically calculated.
The deal is at the SAP Portal execution, as scenario characteristics don't allow string definitions, I'm using 255 characters tables (QISR_TAB_TYPE), that I'm trying to convert inside form interface (Global init code).
The problem is that the interface global init code is being executed when the form is called from R/3, but it is not at SAP Portal.
Does anybody know how to manage this? It's kind of a problem that the BAdi method int_service_request_init doesn't allow types over 255 characters... and if it is not possible to access the form interface code section (maybe there's any way)... i need to find some code section where i can convert tables before the form context is filled!!
Thanks a lot!!

Diana.

Webdynpro ABAP content authorization object in SAP portal ?

Hi
We are on EHP 6.06 , we have an authorization problem in sap portal for the webdynpro abap content. our standart users got the error "page can not be found" for the services provided from webdynpro abap. when I assign the user to administrator group in sap portal the services working fine. I also checked the SAP ERP roles no problem is there. I guess I should create a new portal role for them cause its the only difference between users who can reach or not but have no idea what to put in it in SAP portal. Any idea ?

in portal content directory => double click on the Content provided by sap folder. Than you should have a dropdown somewhere where you can select "Authorizations". You should add the group endusers and check the checkbox.

Create SSO on SAP portal to ECC 6.0 EHP4 backend

Hello,
I want to create a SSO connection form my SAP Portal server to my ECC 6.0 EHP4 Backend system.
My JAVA Portal is installed on the same system as the ECC 6.0 backend system.
For the configuration I follow the steps as described in the document: http://www.sap-img.com/basis/configure-the-sso-single-sign-on-for-portal.htm.
At point 5.3 I have to set the Backend System as "ACL" in the Portal. So Iu2019m still in the Visual administrator from point 5.2 but now I go to the path Server --> Services --> Security Provider --> Ticket.
Here I choose the authentication tab and want to add the com.sap.security.core.server.jass.EvaluateTicketLoginModule. Buth when I press the Add button I get a list of available login members. In this list there is no com.sap.security.core.server.jass.EvaluateTicketLoginModule login module available. Does someone know what Iu2019m doing wrong or how I could add the correct login module?
I attach a screen shot from Visual administrator.
Kind regards,
Richard Meijn

Cahtal,
Thanks for you quick reaction but it's not all clear for me. So could you explain it a little bit more detailed fo me.
If I write something wrong please correct me. I understand the following
So If I am on the "Authentication" tab I press the Add new button
In the list which shows up I select the u201CEvaluateTicketLoginModuleu201D
Here I change the name and option value to trustedsys01=<PORTAL_SID>, <PORTAL_CLIENT>

Organization announcements Using CRM and SAP portal

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to build functionality for an organization to do their announcements using CRM 7.0, Once the announcement is published it should be visible on the SAP Portal. I am planning to do like this:
1) Create a campaign using mail form (Announcement content) and target group
2) Select the communication method as e-mail and I have done settings in SPRO to create the activity for an outgoing mail
3) Release the campaign and execute the campaign
4) Upon execution the CRM system will create the activity for an outgoing email (announcement)
4) Create an iView in portal
5) Pull the activities created on CRM and display on the portal iView
My questions are:
1) Is there any standard iView to do this
2) Is there any other standard functionality available to do this announcement using CRM and Portal
3) What are the lining table between Campaign activity and mail forms (e-mail content for announcement) - When I go activity search on CRM WEB UI I can see these activities and also I can see these activities on CRMD_orderadm_h, but unable to get the link tables between this activity and outgoing mail forms.
Thank you in advance and appreciate your help.

Reddy

INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM Concept

Hi to all,
Please can anyone tell me, what INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM?
What is concept and how to use it, is any program need to write for that or only need to configure it.
I have searched the SDN, but only get topic how to configure inbound mail processing.
I am new to this area; please any one put some light on it.
I shall be thankful to you for this.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Hi Pavneet,
Inbound processing of an offline adobe form consists of several things -
a) an email id to be created on the server (to accept the mail & process the adobe form - this needs to have the right roles)
b) the smtp config needs to be done by basis
c) the abap developer needs to create a handler class that gets called when an email is recd in SAP. This handler class has 3-4 methods (first to read the mail and extract the pdf, convert data in pdf to the abap variable, process the form to do the specific function in sap (which will vary from requirement to another).
I found this blog very useful when I was getting my adobe form done -
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Liz

Issues accessing keystore of SAP Portal

we need to configure an SSO from SAP portal and a third party website by passing encrypted userid as url parameters.
To configure the SSO I have received the public key of the third party and able to access it from server location. Now I have to access priavte key of the SAP Portal certificate and sign the UserId and pass it as url parameter. I have gone through many blogs and written code as below which is giving Invalid Keystore Format error.
My question is
1. What should be passed to FileInputStream?
As of now we are passing the .cer file which is stored as part of project.
Below code is throwing error at ks.load() method.
String fielPath1 = request.getPublicResourcePath()+"/SAPLogonTicketKeypair-cert1.cer";
FileInputStream ksfis = new FileInputStream(fielPath1);
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
ks.load(null, sPass.toCharArray());
BufferedInputStream ksbufin = new BufferedInputStream(ksfis);
ks.load(ksbufin, sPass.toCharArray());
PrivateKey priv = (PrivateKey) ks.getKey(alias, kPass.toCharArray());
Error is:
Invalid keystore formatsun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore.engineLoad(JavaKeyStore.java:633)sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore$JKS.engineLoad(JavaKeyStore.java:38)java.security.KeyStore.load(KeyStore.java:1185)am_sso_apc.doContent(am_sso_apc.java:132)com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.AbstractPortalComponent.serviceDeprecated(AbstractPortalComponent.java:213)
Please let me know how to pass the filepath to extract the priavte key .

Satish

Sorry to say: but that's a bad advise.
The usertype impacts not only the ability / requirement to change passwords (see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=622464">SAP Note 622464</a>).
A better advise might be <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=869218">SAP Note 869218</a>: if users need to have the option to logon to the ABAP backend systems by using UID/PWD but do not want to be prompted to change those backend passwords when accessing the backend systems through the Portal, then that note can provide some solution.
Of course: not using UID/PWD but some (other) sort of SSO would be the better approach. However, somethimes that is not possible (e.g. when it would be required to purchase an SNC partner product, according to <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=66687">SAP Note 66687</a>).

Do we need to install SAP Portal for implementation of ESS & MSS

Hi All,
We are implementing SAP (ECC 6.0) for one of our client, Due to some contractual limitations, we do not want to implement SAP portal though it is a part of standard delivery, I want to know that is it absolutely necessary to install and implement SAP portal for implementation of ESS & MSS.
What i know and understand is that with the new architecture ESS & MSS can be deployed and accessed as a stand alone application on an internet browser by (Web dynpro client) without any need of enterprise portal. While ESS & MSS application can be hosted on Web application server.
Please validate my understanding if it is correct, Also does the new Web dynpro based client support all the functionality and authorization related issues for ESS & MSS ??
Regards
Amit Ajmera

Hi Amit,
Yes, you can run ESS/MSS as WebDynpro application without having to deploy on Portal. However, the look and feel and user accessibility is much better when deployed as Portal page. For WebDynpro, you will still need to publish the individual URL link to application somewhere...
Another point is that on portal you can deploy standard Business package specific to ESS and MSS which contains lots of readymade iviews/page/roles etc so it can reduce your development cost dramatically.
But, at the end it all depends on your individual requirement and project scope.
Cheers !!
Satya.
PS: Points always encourage me to reply...:-)

Consume an existing WebService over an SAP Portal Application

Hi all,
I would like to consume an existing Web service, which has been implemented under AXIS 4 1 and deployed to a tomcat 4.1 installation.
I've developed an SAP Portal application with NWDS (Dynpage-Structure), which has to call this web service. For this, I've generated a standalone proxy client over WSDL of this WebServie under WebServiceWizard of NWDS and called it from my Portal Application, without success :(. But when i call it (proxy) from a standalone java client (Class with main-Method), it function.
Can anybody help me, for calling this WebService
Regards
Ahmet Büyükyilmaz

Hi Ahmet,
open a browser on your portal server (or try telnet) to check if you can access your axis server. Seems like you have some firewall or routing probs.
Just enter your web service uri in address bar of the browser to see if you can get a connection. If you do not have a browser, try:
'telnet <axis-server-name> 80'
from command line. Does anybody listen?
Is your web service designed to be used by anybody? Or do you have some kind of authorization issues?
HTH,
Carsten
