SAP PORTAL Netweaver Problem

Hi everybody,
We have a sap portal (DMS). our computer have windows 7 ie 8 and office 2010.Pop up displays on the screen when portal link is clicked on the computers at which Windows 7 and Office 2010 are installed. Excel and Power point files can not be opened although word file can be. When you select u201Cedit locallyu201D each office file works.

Hi,

SAP Portal unable to recognize AD requirement to change initial password

Hi,
We configured Active Directory server (2008 R2) as UME for SAP Portal (Netweaver 7.01 SP7). We matched as many of the security parameters as possible* (ex. minimum password length, require one number in password, etc.). The AD parameter "User must change password at Next logon" is set ON. However, upon attempt to login to SAP Portal with the initial password that was set in AD we are not prompted to change the password. Rather, the SAP Portal logon attempt fails with message: "Authentication Denied"
Has anyone dealt with this problem before?
Other information:
*Our MarketPlace researched indicated that the SAP Portal parameter "ume.ldap.security_policy.password_change_required" (which would correspond to the AD parameter mentioned above) is no longer an available parameter for our SAP Portal version (Netweaver 7.01 SP7).
In our version of SAP Portal, the AD parameter "User must change password at Next logon" has one parameter which is similar, but does not directly correspond. The SAP Portal parameter which we do have is "No password change required". Notice this is the logical opposite of the AD parameter: AD says to require the password, whereas SAP Portal says it's NOT required. Therefore, when the AD parameter is set to ON, this results in the Portal parameter being set to OFF. Even still, we face the login failure.

You have to note here that implementing SAP IDM is only ONE of the possible options you have. The implementation of IDM in itself is a huge undertaking because of the number of systems and the decision making process involved with it.
In one of my previous implementations, when SAP IDM was not around, we had Tivoli Access Management tools which took care of the password problems.
even though we implement IDM and deploy IDM UI on Portal , still user should change password before it expires on AD right ?
Even with IDM in place, user will not be able to login to SAP portal with an expired AD password. However, in our case, we provide a link on the logon page of SAP portal to the IDM password self service application which will allow the user to change the password.
Does IDM has any feature like sending notifications before password expiration period ?
I don't think it does - however I have not explored this option in IDM since most of our users do not have email addresses and we cannot send a reminder. You should be able to create a task (with some customization) in IDM to achieve this.
Also will the IDM implementation help us in creating users with option "User should change password at next logon" on AD ?
Yes - IDM does create users with option "User should change password at next logon" in AD.
With IDM in place and tied to AD, it should be the central place of creating users. It is recommended NOT to create or manipulate the users in any target systems (SAP, AD, etc). IDM should be taking care of all the user provisioning activities.
is this like a work around to allow users to change password from Portal before it gets expired on Active Directory(AD) ?
This is not a work around - it is rather a full blown identity management solution for all your company needs.
You will get a lot of your IDM specific questions answered in the Identity Management forum.
Thanks,
Shanti

Integration of SAP Portal with Shibboleth based CUA?

We are running SAP Portal NetWeaver EhP1 on LINUX RH-EL 5 with ORACLE 10.2.0.4. We are interested in integrating authentication to the SAP Portal with our web single sign-on system, which is based on Internet2's Shibboleth software. We would like to use our Shibboleth CUA to authenticate users and give them access to our SAP Enterprise Portal as well as to the SAP ABAP systems.
Has anyone done something similar and if so, what were the results or limitations encountered?
What is the underlying web server / product on which the Portal is based? Specifically, is it Apache httpd? If so, which version?
Can it support the use of third party Apache modules, e.g. the Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) Apache module for authentication?
If not, is it possible to run the portal fronted by Apache httpd? (Note that the Shibboleth SP software requires the use of Apache httpd on Linux servers.)
Can the portal be configured to honor the REMOTE_USER setting passed by the web server/container for authentication, instead of requiring a username/password to be entered?
If the portal cannot support the use of the Shibboleth Service Provider software for authentication, what are the other possible configuration options for authentication (besides username/password)?
What support, if any, is there for SAML-based authentication?
Will the portal interoperate with a Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP)? Can you point us at documentation for this?
Thank-you,
Deb Nugent

Hi,
interesting questions. Portal is running on top of Netweaver platform (Java stack). Hence no Apache web server. I doubt that it supports any Apache modules. You can use Apache as reversed proxy in front of SAP portal. Check note 480520 with attached configuration guide. I don't know answer for your question regarding REMOTE_USER setting.
SAP portal supports all standard [authentication methods|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8a/cb136e68592f478266d19bb2b89766/frameset.htm] supported by Netweaver. Probably the only possible way is to use [SAML|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/94/695b3ebd564644e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]. [Here|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/tivoli/library/t-cssosap/index.html] is a how-to guide how to set up SSO based on SAML between Tivoli and Netweaver applicaiton server.
Also search on net. I found links to interesting presentations (e.g. [this one|http://www.switch.ch/aai/support/presentations/ws-sap-2010/ETHZ_AAI_SAP_SAML_Artifact.pdf]).
Cheers

Changing Default SMTP port in SAP Portal/Web AS java 6.40

Hi all,
We are configuring notification service in SAP Portal 6.0 with SPS 15. The SMTP server not using 25 port which is default for SMTP. when the server is trying to send notification it is pointing to IP address and 25 port. HOw can I change the default port to custom defined port in Portal/Web AS Java.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Kishore.

Hi,
may be that Im a little bit to late, but for the next one who has the same problem the solution could be interesting.
You can change the default smpt port on Web AS Java in the server parameters of the java virtual maschine.
Open the SAP J2EE Config-Tool. Goto cluster-data | instance_<instance-id> | server_<server-id>. In the tab General insert unter Java parameters the line
-Dmail.smtp.port=<port> where <port> ist the port number of your smtp server.
Testet with SAP NetWeaver Portals / SAP NW 04s and SUN Java-VM but should also work with SAP NW 04.
Greetings
Jens

Exception when using a renamed com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par file

Hi,
I would like to modify the toolarea of our SAP Enterprise Portal. Basically, I just want to move the tools to the right hand side.
Problem Description
According to several threads I found on sdn
- How to modify the header
- copy and rename par-file?
it should be fairly simple to modify the tool area.
- download com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par from portal server
- import the downloaded par file into your NetWeaver Developer Studio
- Change the ToolAreaiView.jsp in project folder dist/PORTAL-INF/jsp
- Save changes
- Deploy project to the portal server (>File>Export>Par File><Name of your project>>Next>...)
- Remove the standard Tool Area iView from your Framework page
- Create a new iView from your uploaded par file (chose default component)
- Add new created iView to your Framework page
Done, you should see your customized tool area. Unfortunately I encounter a Portal Runtime Exception (Page could not create the iView). I did exactly as described above.
- I downloaded the com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par.bak file from >System Administration>Support>Portal Runtime>Browse Deployment>ROOT>WEB-INF/deployment/temp.
- Extracted the com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.par after changing the downloaded files file extension to zip
- Imported the extracted par file into Netweaver Developer Studio under a new project name
- Found the ToolAreaiView.jsp in project folder dist/PORTAL-INF/jsp
- Did NO changes
- Exported the project into a par file and deployed the par file to the portal successfully.
- Removed the old Tool Area iView from the Framework page
- Created a new Tool Area iView from my uploaded par file (default component)
- Added the new created iView to the Framework page.
- I logged on again and instead of the Tool Area I see an error message
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/sdm_Germany/de.sdm.kellermann.folders.home/de.sdm.kellermann.folders.coreobjects/default/frameworkPages/de.sdm.kellermann.coreobjects.frameworkpage/de.sdm.kellermann.iviews.toolarea
Component Name : null
Page could not create the iView.
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Background information
J2EE Engine: 6.40 PatchLevel 89291.313
Portal: 6.0.11.3.0
Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP2
NWDS: 2.0.11
Any ideas what I did wrong? I appreaciate any kind of help.
Best regards,
Martin

Hi Yoav,
thank you for your swift response. You were right. I do not know why but after I imported the downloaded par file into NetWeaver Developer Studio, the new created project did not contain the jar files, which come with the par file. I added the jar files manually to the project, put them into the project's build path and instructed the NWDS to put them into the par file which I deployed to the portal server.
Afterwards I completed the routine described in my first post and everything worked out. Thanks a lot for that hint.
By the way do you know how to instruct NWDS to include the jar files automatically during an import?
Best regards,
Martin

Bex query crash for a user on sap portal

hi gurus ,hope this thread match here...
i have a bex query which users see it through sap portal, i have the case where a user X has made some drill down between rows and columns of the query (over portal), and since then every time this user X open the query, portal shows the query on the rows-columns format that the user X used once.
What can i do in order user X see que query (on portal) in the default rows-columns??
This problem just happen with user X, others users see the query in the default format with no problems.
I ve tried deleting the portal personalization for user X on sap portal, but the problem persists...
suggets?
regards..

Hi Arjun
Please check the SAP portal and BI system version and then check the compatibility for BEx Query in IE9.
Refer to http://service.sap.com/pam >> Click on SAP Netweaver version, here you can find the PDF files.
BI (BEX Web) is supported on IE9 with SAP porta version 7.0 SPS24 in vista or windows 7 if you SAP portal version is 7.0

Need to download com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par

hello friends
we need to chang the look and feel of the portal display pages and for that purpose we need com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file
can you all help us as to where we can find this par file so that we can download this file.
we have still not installed the portal platform,we'll be doing that in the following week.
Thnaking you,
Anurag.

Hi Anurag,
This post will explain the steps involved for each element.
No. Portal Login page related questions
1. What is the associated par file for portal login Page ?
2. How to import the PAR file into Netweaver Developer Studio?
3. What are the different pages and their associated files in logon.par?
4. How to change text seen in the logon page ?
5. What is authschemes.xml file? Do we need to change this file also ?
6. How to remove standard links like support, Register ...?
7. How to change or add new images ?
8. How to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen of the Portal ?
1. What is the associated par file for portal login Page?
Answer : The par file related to login page of Netweaver Portal is com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par. This is the standard
logon component containing the code and resources used by the logon screens is shipped in a portal archive (PAR) file named com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.
2. How to import the PAR file into Netweaver Developer Studio?
Answer : - Select File>Import .
- Choose the option PAR file. Select Next and a popup window appears.
- Select File>Import .
- Choose the option PAR file. Select Next and a popup window appears.
- In the window you have 3 text fields:
The location of the par file,
Project name (same as new par file name, preferably) and
location for project to be saved
3. What are the different pages and their associated files in logon.par?
Answer :
Logon page : umLogonPage.jsp
Problem page : umLogonProblemPage.jsp
Help (PW reset) page : umHelpPage.jsp
Reset Password : umResetPasswordPage.jsp
Change Password Page: changePasswordPage.jsp
Certificate Logon : umLogonCertPage.jsp
4. How to change text seen in the logon page ?
The text seen on the logon page is not in the JSP page, but in properties files which are called by tags like the
Welcome text : <%=logonLocale.get("xtit_WELCOME")%>
In order to change "Welcome" to "Welcome to MyTravel" you have to :
 - Unzip the file umelogonbase.jar which you can find under dist\PORTAL-INF\lib
 - Find the file "logonLabels_" which contains your language;
 e.g. logonLabels_de.properties for german language, *_en for English etc.,
The default is in the file logonLabels.properties .
- Find the key which is used in the tag and change the text after the equal sign.
- Save the changed file and create a updated JAR file using a zip program. The file needs to be named exactly umelogonbase.jar
- Put the JAR file back to location - dist\PORTAL-INF\lib
You are done on this now.
5. What is authschemes.xml file ? Do we need to change this file also ?
Changing the Authschemes.xml file is required only if you want to change com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak file and point it to different par file. This is more for anonymous logon with named anonymous users and using anonymous as the authentication scheme. The anonymous users are not issued a SAP logon ticket.
6. How to remove standard links like support, Register ...?
The standard links are controlled with the UM settings
 - ume.logon.logon_help
- ume.logon.selfreg
You could also just comment out the lines if you want to hide.
7. How to change or add new images ?
To exchange the two images, which are by default on the logon page, do the following steps:
 a. Copy the image(s) you want to use in your project in the the folder dist/layout
 b. Find the < img src="" > you want to work on in the umBotArea.txt
Change the src attribute in the img tag to src="<%=webpath + "layout/myPic.gif" %>". The webpath is already defined in the file logon_proxy.txt and ready to use. In the Netweaver portal 6.0 SP9 and higher you have 2 images on the right side.
8. How to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen of the Portal ?
If you want to change only the branding image displayed in the logon screen, you can configure this using the user management property ume.logon.branding_image
Hope this helps the community in the launch of this ver 1.0, future versions could contain more changes and updations covering all other aspects of Netweaver Portal

How to restrice ananymous user access to portal link /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default?

Hi experts,
We had an issue with portal access. I wonder if portal is venerable for security threats?
Could you please let me how to restrict the unauthorized users (anonymous user) to the portal URL.
https://HOST:50001//irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher.default .
Appreciate your help.

Hi Maruti,
Hope you are doing good.
Can't you just amend the portal permissions so that this access is not possible.
The PCD location should be:
com.sap.portal.system/security/sap.com/NetWeaver.Portal/no_safety/com.sap.portal.navigation.portallauncher....
Hope this helps.
Thank you and have a nice day!

SSO from Microsoft to SAP portal

Hi guys,
I am stacked in something regarding SSO, the problem here is that I have to create and ASP.net application able to create the SAPLogOnTicket and bypass the SAP portal logon screen and everytime I am using may application I have not to log in again in the SAP Portal.
Anyone who have an answer or a working example, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Armando

Hi Armando,
if your application is extranet application (you access it from internet) then you need to use citrix to log in to the portal without asking for username and password.
if the application is accessible from the intranet then you need to identify the application in the portal landscape system. for more information on this subject you can read the following useful help:

SSO between SAP Portal 7.3 and Ruby on Rails

Hello Everyone,
We are planning to integrate SAP Portal 7.3 and a RoR application and I am wondering If someone can share some experience (If you have any of course) on how to establish SSO between SAP Portal and RoR.
The SAP Portal will act as service provided and RoR as a consumer, we don't have LDAP, so the Portal UME is in ABAP and RoR uses an own UME database. We have SSO between our Portal and SAP Backend systems.
In RoR customers will have access to their own information (Invoices, etc..) that will be provided by the backend system.
URL transaction and iFrames is not an option for us.
The second option is to call Web Services, directly or through the SAP Portal (we are using a central sr).
I am a NetWeaver consultant who heard about RoR but have no experience in this field.
All help and tips are greatly appreciated!.
Regards,
Ridouan

We used Client certificates. Still working on the PoC.

502 error in sending the request from F5 to SAP PORTAL

Hi All,
I face a problem in NW04S SP13 Level:
I have my Production and Development landscape where I get an HTTP Request from a Oblix Server and pass it to SAP ENTERPRISE PORTAL through F5.
In my Development Landsacpe this request is process by SAP PORTAL
but in my Production landscape it Intermittently fails.
The Only difference between my Production and Development landscape is I have multiple portal instances in my Production where as I have a single instance in my Dev.
When in my Dev landscape I login to portal and Open a ESS - Benefits application it works fine but in the Production Landscape it throws 502 ERROR.
I tried Routing the HTTP Request from my Dev Environment's F5 to Production Environments Portal, and even then it throws error Intermittently.
But If I Pass the request from my Production Environment's F5 to Development Environments Portal it works perfectly fine.
What might be the issue?
Any Idea? Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Multiple versions of the same Web Dynpro application on the same SAP Portal

I have a single application (local development) and deploy directly to a SAP Portal(NW 7.0) from NWDS Version: 7.0.15
No problems there, works like a charm.
But I want to have multiple versions of the same application on one portal. Eg. ill build a version 1.0 for test and deploy this. Then continue to work on version 1.1 deploying this directly on the portal. The two versions should now co-existing under different names and/or packages.
Please help.

Hi Kim,
May be you can try this and see if this works for you. I am not 100% sure if it will work for you, but worth a try I guess. Create a Test WebDynpro project and try the following steps on this project. If they work out correctly and serve the purpose for you only then try them on your actual Web Dynpro project.
1. Create a test Web Dynpro project say "TestWDProject" with Component say "Comp1" and the default views and windows etc.
Also create some working application our of this component and Windows using the Context.
2. Right click the "Comp1" and select Copy.
3. Right click 'Components" node in the project structure and select "Paste"
4.This step will try to paste the copy of Comp1 as a new Component.
5. You can change the Name and Package of the Component.
6.Similarly you'll get the prompts for views,windows etc.
7.Once you have copied everything, Just check if everything looks good.
8.Now you can create a new Application using this new component and the Component Interface View and Deploy it.
9.Test whether the Application created out of this copy works same as the original component.
You can also try to create another Web Dynpro project and paste the Comp1 in the Components node of that new project and perform the same steps.
Again, try with these Test Projects and see if this serves your purpose before applying the steps on actual projects.

Ajay
