User alias

Hi all,
I want to create 3 users namely U_EAST, U_MIDWEST and U_WEST. I am using transaction SU01.
But it keeps on asking me for a <b>user alias</b>.
I goto the <b>LOGON DATA</b> tab
I have to select from a pregiven table, I am unable to create a new alias.
Can anyone please help me out with this?
Thanks in advance,
mitali

Hi check once again it will take.
The Alias field on the user maintenance initial screen is primarily used in this context to find Internet users again, when their internal technical name is not known.
If you want to create a user with an alias name, assign the alias name in the input field on the Logon Data tab.
Assigning an alias name makes available 40 characters and allows you to choose longer, more meaningful names. The user can then identify himself or herself using either the (12-character) user name or the (40-character) alias.
At the moment, you cannot use alias names for SAP GUI and RFC logons to the system.

Ravi

Creating User Alias in Flash Air Application

I am trying to create an Flash Air application whereby users
are able to change their user alias on the application anytime they
want. This will be saved and when users sign in the application
again, it will show the "new" user alias instead of the previous
one.
Image can be seen below:

As you can seen in the red box, that is the user alias. Users
is to clicked on the name and they could just change it straight
away. To confirm it, just press the "Enter" button. It works
somehow like MSN. I tired to search for many tutorials online
however there weren't much. Hope you guys can guide me along as I
am still new to Actionscript 3 plus AIR. Thank you so much.

Yosemite Server: Apache shm errors with proxy_balancer | SASL errors using user alias

Dear OSX Server Ninjas,
I recently upgraded my 10.9.5 Mac mini running Server 3.2.2 to Yosemite + Server v4, directly to v4.0.3. The box serves the whole Mail/Cal/Contacts/VPN palette as well as some websites, Git repos and some custom software. See below for network setup.
After battling the most blatant issues (some easy to fix but hard to find, others hard on both), I'm almost back to a working server setup … but some things keep bugging me even after days of log-reading and OD tricks. In the last days, I have read countless discussions here as well as on stackoverflow/serverfault/apple.stackexchange and blogs, so I'll try to be as thorough and precise as possible to show what I have tried so far – sorry in advance for the long post
… and since you might not read to the bottom: Thanks in advance for any help, especially with the Apache problem!
My setup
OSX Server v4.0.3 running on Yosemite 10.10.1 ➞ both latest official releases
host + DNS
Hostname configured for public domain mydomain.net, web traffic on selected ports comes in through router NAT
Server has a static IP on the local subnet 192.168.178.0/24
Server running local DNS and performing lookups for all clients in the local subnet, forwarding to the router at 192.168.178.1
Primary zone for mydomain.net with records (A, NS, MX) pointing to said static IP
changeip -checkhostname is successful
Public IP is currently configured at the domain registrar through his name servers
SSL
Trusted third-party certificate installed for host.mydomain.net (Common Name + SAN for two subdomains)
Used to secure all services
Qualys SSL Test Grade B (capped due to OSX's openssl 0.9.x not being capable of TLS1.2 and Intermediate CA SHA-1 )
TLS working both inbound and outbound according to CheckTLS.com
OpenDirectory
Recreated after upgrade (probably not necessary, since issue persists), re-imported groups + users from WGM backup files
Only the server itself is bound to the directory, other devices just access services through network accounts (CRAM-MD5, MD5-Digest)
Problems
Apache shm errors: Apache fails to create slot memory when proxy module is enabled
As soon as I start a service which requires the Apache proxy_balancer module (e.g. Cal/Contacts, ProfileManager), this starts filling up my Apache's error log:
[Mon Jan 12 01:41:17.979882 2015] [proxy_balancer:emerg] [pid 2949] (28)No space left on device: AH01179: balancer slotmem_create failed for p26d9e669--1011640492

[Mon Jan 12 01:41:28.297355 2015] [:emerg] [pid 3026] AH00020: Configuration Failed, exiting
When I increase the Apache LogLevel to trace1, I get this as well:
[Mon Jan 12 02:11:43.190303 2015] [slotmem_shm:debug] [pid 5501] mod_slotmem_shm.c(367): AH02602: create didn't find /private/var/run/slotmem-shm-p26d9e669-813569972.shm in global list
This causes the Apache to crash constantly, which is … unnerving. After googling around for a while, I tried the following steps:
Stop Services that use the Apache (Web, *DAV, ProfileManager)
sudo apachectl stop
Remove all orphan cache/slot files (.shm, ssl-cache, proxy.*) from /private/var/run
Reboot the server
Start up the Services again
Curiously enough, this worked for a while! But I was getting several log messages about dropped proxy connections, and sometimes the ProfileManager page would time out. Then, the issue started to reappear and does not seem to be fixed again with the steps above. I looked through the Apache config files and config plists for the Services in question, as well as the default config files. The only thing I have so far is that as long as there are no active proxy connections, the Apache runs smoothly – but all goes awry when slotmem files are created (a lot of them). Sometimes, I am able to turn on the Calendar service, but switching on Contacts produces the error … one time, I even got Calendar + Contacts running, and all went well until I enabled Profile Manager.
I found several error reports with similar or identical errors from other Apache 2.4.x users, but most of those were developer talk on mailing lists, or suggested steps that did not work for me (or were inapplicable on the OS X Server Apache environment).
SASL errors using user alias for WebDAV-Digest authentication
Short version: I am unable to authenticate through WebDAV-Digest with a user's alias (defined in Server Admin > Users > Context Menu > Advanced Options or WGM). Using the main short name of the same user works flawlessly. Password Server Error log just shows:
AUTH2: {234023578237md5hash2384234, mainshortname} WEBDAV-DIGEST authentication failed, SASL error -13 (password incorrect).
The password is 100% correct: When I set up a test CalDAV account and put in alias+PW, it did not work (OS X Dialog showed “could not be verified”, Server log as above). Leaving the password field filled and just switching the user to the main short name went through instantaneously, with the Server log showing
AUTH2: {234023578237md5hash2384234, mainshortname} WEBDAV-DIGEST authentication succeeded.
Notice the same MD5 hash and canonical short name, yet different results. I don't know if this is a new “feature”, a result of mail aliases being handled differently (at least I read that somewhere) …
Additional Questions
Should I configure the DNS for public use, instead of the Split-Brain configuration (local network gets local IP, outside traffic is directed by registrar NS)? I read several articles explaining that Split-Brain is common in large organizations, but might introduce weird networking issues. Entering the external IP as a Round Robin alternative for the internal does not seem sensible to me.
I also have a question concerning LDAP log entries like this one below, but I'll put that in this already open discussion:
=> bdb_idl_delete_key: c_get failed: DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK: Locker killed to resolve a deadlock (-30994)

Today the same error occurred on a customers server.
We don't use Calendar or Contacts.
We only have some websites configured and want use NetInstall for deployments.
As soon as I disable the Profilemanager the httpd starts over and other websites and NetInstall via HTTP are working fine.
When I reenable Profilemanager the httpd processes are gone and I see the same stuff in Apache's error log...

Is it possible to use the Internet User Alias?

Hi,
We are currently authenticating users against an LDAP datasource and pulling back the employee id as the SAP username in order to provide the correct authorisations. The problem with this is that we then have to create another user account for people who require R/3 access via the GUI.
What we want to be able to do is to use the Internet user alias against their R/3 account so that we essentially only have 1 account to maintain for each user.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
Thanks in advance!
Keith

If you are using ABAP for your UME user store, the LDAP IDs are probably stored as aliases in the backend ABAP system. If that's the case, your users already have corresponding, automatically generated, backend R3 IDs. Trying searching by alias for one of your web users and see if there is a user master record for that user. They can log into SAPGUI using that auto-generated ID, although you may need to assign a password first. From the user perspective, it will still seem like they have two different accounts though, since the login ID will be something new for sapgui.

Generate random User Alias - Entity adapter

Hi,
I am a newbie. Can anyone please help me in telling steps for creating an Entity Adapter which generate a random User Alias.
TIA.
Got few threads that tell about pre-populate adapter, none for entity adapter.

Hi,
Follow the below steps to create new entity adapter in OIM
To add the new created event handler to OIM server, perform the following steps:
1. Write a java code to perform the needed operation ("Generate random user alias" in your case).
2. Copy the file to OIM_HOME\xellerate\EventHandlers
3. Open Design Console and navigate to: Development Tools -> Business Rule Definition -> Event Handler Manager
4. Create a new Event Handler and specify:
Event Handler Name: +<give the class name of your code>+
Package: +<give the package name of your code>+
Pre-Insert: Checked (for this scenario)
5. Save the event handler
6. Navigate to Development Tools -> Business Rule Definition -> Data Object Manager
7. Search for "Users" and add the event handler to the Pre-Insert list.
8. Save.

Dear Eric W.:
Is there any update on this request? It is coming up on two years since your announcement was posted. Looking through this forum, this seems to be a very common, frequent and popular request. For privacy reasons, I can see a great need for the ability to change one's alias.
The current alternatives (create new alias, let old one fade away, etc.) are not acceptable.
Please provide an update on the progress of this request.
Thank you.

romad,
This is not a bug, it is a design choice. I have stated that we are looking at this option, but so far the we have not made a decision to change it. We continue to evaluate it, and if there is a change made it will be communicated at that time. Until then I cannot give an ETA because it is possible that this will never change.

Mail application displays user Alias instead of DisplayName in the inbox view.

This issue is affecting clients who were recently migrated to Office 365 and have iOS 7. After the migration to Office 365 clients started noticing an issue where the displayname is replaced by the mailbox Alias in the inbox view. We attempted to remove and re-create the Exchange profile for the mailbox but that has not resolved the problem. I am seeking more information from the clients who are impacted with this issue to see if specific iOS 7 versions that have the issue. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to resolve it?

Where are user alias stored?

II'm new to the BOE world and I noticed the way the windows ad id is linked to the sap user ID when accessing the portal so users don't need to renter I their user information. My question is where is that data store within the sap landscape? Is there a specific sap table used to store the information? Any help is appreciated. If I can find this out it might help solve a problem.

Hi,
I am not 100% sure of your exact setup but it sounds like you are mapping AD accounts to BW accounts in such cases this information is stored in the business objects repository. This can be accessed through the CMC.
You can take a look at the following for more details.

Regarding Requests to change a user alias / username / displayed name

Has there been any progress in developing a way to change the name displayed on discussion posts? I didn't realize my full name would appear on my postings and would very much like to edit this on my profile. The posted answer I found that it wasn't passible to do this goes back to 2008. Any news on this?? Thanks.

Hi,
iChat Can Create new @Mac.com email like addresses and makes them Apple IDs
iChat 4 and 5 link to this page
This page was created after MobileMe started up.
At first it was an @Mac.com name for iChat only
Later it had an option to make it an Apple ID as well.
Now in the last few Months it has become an Automatic step in the process to AN Apple ID as well.
As people don't always want to link all their On-line apps to one ID but also don't want to create more Email address it has become a problem in iChat.
I have raised this issue higher up.
My point is though that you can make an New @Mac.com ID and it is a Apple ID
(I have not looked into changing it to a MobileMe Account linked name at a later stage which seemed to be the middle/previous method).

Hello Gopi Anne ,
                             You can use the following FM / BAPI :
BAPI_USER_CHANGE
MY_BAPI_USER_CHANGE
For BAPI_USER_CHANGE :
You need to make use of the IMPORT parameter :
ALIAS     TYPE     BAPIALIAS                               User Name Alias
ALIASX     LIKE     BAPIALIASX                               User alias change flag

Login to EP either with Alias name or user id.

Hi All,
We need to allow the users to login to the portal either with the user alias or userId.
We have installed portal on dual stack & UME is on ABAP stack. All user details are getting stored in ABAP data base .
I enabled login with alias by adding the option "LogonWithAlias" with the value "true" to the BasicPasswordLoginModule under 'BASIC" Authentication in the Security Provider service of the J2EE Engine Visual Administrator.
Now it allows the user to login only with the 'Alias'. I just need to know is there anyother parameter options to be added to allow the login with both alias and username.
Also tell me about the flags to be set.
Expecting your valuable inputs.
Thank You.
Regards,
Eben.

Hi Michael Shea ,
Thank you for your helpful replies. I am following that.
As you suggested, I have added "BasicPasswordLoginModule" twice with two set of options ( LogonWithAlias true&false) under " basic" Authentication template under SAP-j2ee Engine Policy Configuration.
What Flags are to be set ? Can you tell me the difference between OPTIONAL, SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED,REQUISITE Flags.
I have set as follows in the J2ee Visual Admin for the "BASIC" Authentication Template :
BasicPasswordLoginModule SUFFICIENT LogonWithAlias- true
BasicPasswordLoginModule REQUIRED LogonWithAlias- false
But still it is not allowing me to login with user alias.

ADS LogonWithAlias - cannot logon with alias user id

Hi,
We have Erec and use ADS. Now when the candidate enters their detials - such as logon id - into EREC, the SAP ERP backend generates a random user id and their logon id in put into the alias field in the SAP record (SU01) btw we use ABAP for the user administration. The candidate can then logon with their Alias into Erec and this works fine. Now when we send them an ADS form link to fill in, the signon prompy does not allow them to use the Alias to logon - only the random generated user id work. I have change the option in VA under Security Provider - Basic - BasicPasswordLoginModule=true but this has not helped it still does not work with the user alias id. I have noticed that the ADS form logon prompt is a netweaver prompt and different from the Erec logon prompt. Any ideas appreciated.

Found the error in SICF the adobe form was not set tin internet user.

How can I set up a mail alias in Mountain Lion Server?

Hi, newbie to Mountain Lion Server here.
I've set up mail for domain a.com and a virtual domain b.com
User a receives mail just fine at [email protected] and [email protected], now I wanted to receive mail for [email protected] as an alias, which I understood after reading the posts here is done by going to 'advanced options' of user a and setting b in the alias field.
But sending a mail to [email protected] bounces with a "550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table".
However sending a mail to [email protected] does work, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Hi, it's a late response, I know, but I had same problem just now and in my searching for an answer I found your question. ...better yet, I also found the answer - simply make a user alias including the virtual domain, like for instance if you want alias c to receive mails from both a.com and b.com, you should make two aliases:
c, [email protected]
where the first alias defaults to a.com as the default domain and the second explicitly specified the virtual domain.
Cheers
