User creation in portal

HI,
Can we change the registration flow in the portal, so that a mail is sent to the email address and only when the user clicks on the link in the mail, the user account becomes active. Until the user clicks on the link and activates his account the user account should not be active.
Can we implement this in SAP EP?

Hi,
You could do it via the UME API, but you would have to code it yourself.
You could create the user via the admin functionality (but with the standard email generation disabled for user creation) , and manually lock it, or create the user via a custom WebDynpro or JSP front end that users the UME API to create and lock the user.
Then use a mail API to generate the email with a URL to a servlet running on the Portal server, which extracts an id of the user from the URL (either the username in unencoded form which is a bit dodgy, or using some unique number that you store against the user to be activated to associate the two) and again use the UME API to unlock the user.
Should be fairly straightforward providing you are confident with:
1 - Deploying a web application to J2EE engine containing a servlet.
2 - Can figure out how to use the UME API
3 - Can use a mail API like Javamail, which is straightforward
Cheers,
Steve

User Creation In portal Using NWDS

Hello Experts
Is there any way we can create a job in SAP Netweaver Portal using NWDS for the user creation.
Any pointers will be extremely helpful as I am new to this.
I am using SAP Netweaver 7.3 SP 09.
Thanks
Utsav Mishra

Hi,
You can use the sample code.You can create an Abstract Portal component in NWDS and write the required code inside of it.
Users can be created with the UserFactory newUser() method.
IUserMaint represents a modifiable user object. You must issue
        a commit() in order to actually create the user.
An associated account needs to be created for the User with
        newUserAccount() using the UniqueID of the new User.
Take care to delete the user if an error occurs (catch the
        appropriate exception and handle it).
// Create User
String uid = "testuser01";
IUserMaint newUser = UMFactory.getUserFactory().newUser(uid);
newUser.setFirstName("Test");
newUser.setLastName("User");
newUser.setEmail("[email protected]");
newUser.save();
newUser.commit();
try
// Create User Account
IUserAccount uacc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().
newUserAccount(uid,newUser.getUniqueID());
uacc.setPassword("secret");
uacc.save();
uacc.commit();
// NOTE: productive passwords cannot be set if the
// account is created in a SAP System
// continue process by trying to set password flag…
// Now try to modify password change flag for the new user
try
IUserAccount uacc = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().
getMutableUserAccount(uacc.getUniqueID());
uacc.setPasswordChangeRequired(false);
uacc.save();
uacc.commit();
catch (UMException ex)
//trace warning: “Password is not productive and has to
// changed during the first logon”.
catch (UMException umex)
UMFactory.getUserFactory().deleteUser(newUser.getUniqueID());
//trace error: “User cannot be created because of an
// error which occurred during the creation of the
// corresponding account object”

User creation in Portal Connected to LDAP

Hi Gurus,
   i want to know if we have LDAP connected to a Portal and someone creates a user on Portal UME , will the user get created in LDAP or portal UME.
   The situation is where any registerd user accessing the portal should be authenticated against LDAP and he can also do a self registration from portal.So if he self registers, does his user id/Password gets created in LDAP or it stays in Portal UME.If it gets stored all the way to LDAP then we are fine, if not , then is there a way to replicate this user id password to LDAP.
Thanks in Advance!

User will be created in UME only not in LDAP.

No the user is created in UME database and not in LDAP. If you are setting up your user persistence in LDAP (authenticating users from LDAP) then you have to setup users in LDAP. UME has a read only access to things that it pulls from LDAP.

Hi,
You should control in ABAP via SU01 the user SAPJSF (JSF Service User).
This user should can have 2 roles :
For read-only access from the AS Java to the ABAP system, choose the role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO.
For read-write access from the AS Java to the ABAP system, choose the role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNCIATION.
You can have more information [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/9e/fdcf3d4f902d10e10000000a114084/content.htm]

Formalised user creations in Portal

How do I create users (already existing database users) in Portal 3.0 based on existing users?
For instance if we want 600 users to use a site (an Intranet) in personalised way (so we cant use a universal user everybody can use), but dont what do create 600 (taking a whole week or so to create manually) users by hand then how do we do it assuming they already exist as database users?

Hi Malik ,
For your scenrio there is no ready made iview but these things can be achieved easily .We can get these values from the api and EP database tables .On a low level you can refer to

Tray as appearing in the Portal User Creation screen

Hi all,
I am on WAS 6.40 SP15, NWDS 2.0.15 and EP 6.0 SP15.
When I place 'tray' ui element in my application, I see one vertical line on the left side and horizontal line. I have to remove these lines.
Can anyone suggest how to modify the 'tray' ui element so that I get a tray as appearing in the Portal User Creation screen.

Hi,
Then you will have to modify the standard UWL configuration file.
If your task looks like a standard task (maybe you copied a standard task and modified it slightly), you have to find the ItemType corresponding to the standard task in the UWL configuration file then copy this ItemType and adjust it for you custom task. Please take a look at my last post in another thread : Re: UWL - how to approve purchase requisitions
If your task is 100% custom then you'll have to find out what is behind the Approve and Reject buttons in the Business Workflow and modify the UWL configuration file accordingly. For instance if a function module is used to approve or reject the request you can define your approve and reject actions using the FunctionModuleActionHandler. You can find more information in the documentation : [Task Launch Customization|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/36/dd4ad73c86412e81e9ce66eeb147e7/frameset.htm].

Portal User Creation Problem

While Creating user in Portal i am getting following error Please help

Thanks

Hi,
If it is ABAP+JAVA stack, we have to create user only in ABAP stack only. We cannot create user in portal. Once we create user in ABAP stack , we can login to portal using that user.
If there is permission probelm, please assign the permission to the respective user that is " manage_all" action.
Please let me know if you have any clarifications.

Can you restrict creation of user types in Portal?

Hi,
Is it possible to give a group of users the ability to just create 'Vendor' accounts in the Portal?
While another group of users the ability to just create 'Contractor' accounts in the Portal?
...and other group of users to create just another 'type' of users in the Portal?
Thanks,
Sk

Humm, it's seems a bit complex but try to based your drop down over a new object "UserType".
See
http://theidentityguy.blogspot.fr/2011/07/populating-rcdc-dropdownlist-with.html
After that gives the right to view only object UserType "Vendor" for the set "All admins of Vendor"
I never try this, it's only an idea :)

Can I use SAP HR to drive ESS Portal user creation?

Hello
We are implementing a new instance of SAP HR and Portal for ESS and MSS and I am not sure of all the steps that need to be completed so any guidance / tips would be greatly appreciated.
Company currently has an LDAP - but not used extensively. Not all employees currently in LDAP as not all have network ids. All employees will have a SAP account to enable ESS (via Kiosks etc). ESS iViews in Portal will call SAP HR and possibly SAP BW. We have an instance of SAP already and user admin maintained via CUA - this will continue.
Scenario:
My initial thoughts are that we try to use SAP HR as the leading system to drive the ESS Portal users and access. Basically I want to create the user in SAP and assign them an ESS SAP role... then through syncronization have the user created in the Portal and have the correct ESS Portal assigned (in the Portal)
My thinking so far is to go the following way;
1) Create User Master Record in SAP (SU01)
2) Hire employee into the org structure (via HR processes)
3) Populate Infotype 0105 with SAP username
4) Populate Infortype 1016 - with SAP role to be assigned to allow ESS access (not sure about this aspect) or role could be assigned in 1) above
I am not sure of the next steps - I think there must be a way in an SAP table to map the ESS SAP role to the ESS Portal Role (is this via WP3R?)
then I am hoping that a standard job can be run (is this RSLDAPSYNC_USER) that will create the user in the Portal (UME?) and assign the correct Portal role ?
(obviously configuration needed)
For MSS and HR Power users - we would continue to assign SAP roles via SU01.
Can anyone assist with;
- Is my thinking correct in terms of how this should / could work?
- in SAP how can I map SAP Roles to Portal Roles ?
- will syncronization in SAP create the user in Portal and assign the role ? what do I need to configure?
Thanks in advance

Dear Michale,
I just dont know if this can throw some light on your prob.'
In our Orgn we had around 250 ess users and 200 sapr/3 users. Some of the r/3 users also logon to ess via their r/3 uname and password.
What we have done is like follows:
1. Created a role for only the ess users ZHRESS. For this i asked the HR functional people with sap_all profile to do all the job which the ESS users are supposed to do and tracer the authorization via tcode st01. We created the role on the basis of this trace report.
2. For the purely ESS users we created the users via tcode HRUSER and assigned then with the above role.
3. For the R/3 users who are supposed to avail the ess facility we assigned them with the role ZHRESS role in addition to the other roles assigned to them to carry out their normal R/3 transactions. Then we mapped their R/3 uname to their employee no via PA30 infotype 105.
4. Tcode HRUSER saved time which would have consumed had we done it via su01 and moreover it picked Name etc data from the HR master table. In HRUSER tcode , setting the user attributes helps to define what roles the users are to be assigned, what should be their initial password etc.
Pl let me know if it satisfies you querry.

Script the creation of Portal users in 10.1.2

Is there an easier way to create multiple portal users in 10.1.2. I know the user is loaded into OID and I can use the ldap tools to bulk load users in OID but I think that the portal schema holds the OID references and permissions themselves. Just curious if there is a way to script creating multiple users into the Portal 10.1.2?
Thanks

I know how to use ldapadd and etc. I was not aware that the portal database schema was synchronized based on the OID information.
What process syncronizes the information?
or am I confused and ldapadd will add the OID user to the Portal schema?I think ldapadd only does add users to OID and has nothing to do with adding users' meta data to the portal database.
I also look for the info of how does the users info in the portal sync with OID's. Can this be accomplished by using the features of the Provision of OID, which is an out of the box feature? Or do we have develope our own function to achive this? Thanks.

User creation in sap portal

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in a supplier registers online and after approval(application is developed in ABAP web dynpro) is created as supplier in SAP.
At the same time the supplier should be created as a portal user with supplier email ID as his/her user ID in portal.
Though I can achived this by creating an application in java web dynpro usig UME api, but since application for approval is created in ABAP web dynpro there fore these UME API cannot be called.
If I create a portal service using UME API reference, it returns a message saying import reference cannot be used.
Is there any other way for getting users created in portal using UME api via ABAP web dynpro.
Regards
Shakti

Hi,
Can you pls clarify on below point? Is it like you are not able to add references to your Portal Service for using UME API Classes?
"If I create a portal service using UME API reference, it returns a message saying import reference cannot be used."
However pls verify below options on your requirement. These might be helpful.
Option#A)
We can still be able to use write a Simple Portal Service that accepts required inputs and creates users in the UME using UME API. And then finally expose this Portal Service as Web Service for your ABAP Webdynpro to consume it.

If not Portal Service we can also write EJB methods using UME APIs and expose it as Web Service from the SAP J2EE Engine.

No active writeable datasource found for user creation, check your Persiste

HI SAP Guru's
Suddenly when I am login in Portal with J2EE_ADMIN or any user , I am getting error
You are not authorized to access this application; contact your system administrator
and when I am going to create user in identity management I am getting below error
Current user has user creation permissions in the UME, but cannot create users in the back-end system (data source). The original and possibly untranslated message was: "No active writeable datasource found for user creation, check your Persistence Configuration.".

Please help.
Thanks & Regards
Vinay Patel

Dear all,
I was searching the community because I had this same error and there was no answer of how it was fixed. So I'm sending how I fixed today in a customer environment.
1. Go to portal http://<portal>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcsecumewdumeadmin/UmeAdminApp
- select configuration
- folder "sap system based in abap"
- do the conection test
If the test fails, log on in client 001 and change user SAPJSF:
- assign role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION (only this one) and one profile that has permission to RFC logon
- you can change the password too
STOP/START ABAP+JAVA
Go again to the portal above and test connection again. The tests should now be OK.
2. Go to portal http://<portal>/irj
- Log on with administrator user
Now you should be able to create an user.

ESS application systems creation in Portal content area

Hi ESS experts,
I had struck up in the systems creation part of the ESS implementation in EP7, ECC6.
I have the ESS set up guide by Siddhartha Jain which is just short of details on how to set up the systems for system alias SAP_Webdynpro_XSS, ITS, and back end R/3 system creation in the system and how to test the connections.
Can any one give a detail guide on how to set up the various systems in the Portal content directory to that the Ess application can be launched in the portal?
I had deployed the BP as described in the guide (and guided by the forum members) and all my Jco connections are Green in color. I need to complete the system creation and user creation in the portal and launch the ESS applicaiton in portal.
(Set up the first system on the Portal J2EE server in which the business package has been implemented and assign the system the alias SAP_WebDynpro_XSS.) Here is the step I need help!!!
Please help, and thanks in advance,
Regards

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for the immediate response.
Can you please guide me on the below statement?
>>>Then you need to specify the details of that system and various other properties
Assign the aliases and then test the connectivity. <<<
I do not know which are the system details and other properties that need to be defined to get the connection test passed. I am very new to portal and I need your advise and guidance.
Please help.
Thanks and regards
