User details change on portal

Hello experts, for some odd reason I have been unable to change user details on portal recently. I am getting the following error: "A problem has occurred in the persistency. The original message was: BAPI_USER_CHANGE@BWPCLNT500: ID=01, NUMBER=492, MESSAGE=You are not authorized to change users in group".
I do have administrator roles and everything, and I used to be able to change user details (like e-mail and language). What I do not understand is why this suddenly stopped working, as it was working before (the funny thing is that even with the default administrator user from Portal it is not possible to change user details anymore). Still, how can I solve this problem? We are using EP 7.0 and another SAP system (ABAP) for user management. I am not in charge of the ABAP system, though I do have access to several transactions in there. I tried looking for the "BAPI_USER_CHANGE" thing, but I could not find it. Is that a role or something I need to assign to my user?

Hi, thanks for the answers. I checked the roles of user SAPJSF. He has SAP_BC_FP_ICF, SAP_J2EE_ADMIN and he previously had SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO, but I changed it for SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICTION. However, once I restarted the Web AS, there was no communication between our backend system and the portal (checking the logs, I found the error "#1#com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103) RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: User SAPJSF has no RFC authorization for function group SYST." Therefore I added the role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO role, without taking out the other one, and restarted the server. There is now communication between the backend system and the portal, but I still cannot change user details from within the portal.
Any other ideas?

How to get the User Details inoformation in portal?

I had defined the user informations in "Portal User Details". But i don't know how to get it and what the user table is?
for example: How to get the email address of user i have defined in portals?
Tank you very much!

You would use the portal API's for this, there is one named wwsec_api.person_info that returns a record with the specified user's information, such as first name, lsat name, email, telephone, etc - a pretty long list. With release 2 of portal the data is no longer stored in the wwsec_person$ table as it was in release 1 so use the API (which actually is how I would normally do it in release 1 as well).
To get more documentation on portal API's go to: http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/plsql/doc/astart.htm
Hope that this helps you - enjoy the day!

Retrieving User Details from OID: Portal 10.1.2

I am trying to retrieve the user object from the OID when the person logs in to the portal. I would need to retrive the group name and some attributes from the OID for the person logged in.

Changing data directly in employee user details / who's who

Using: EP7, MSAD
Hi all,
I would like to know whether it is possible to add a modify button within the user details window (who's who) for changing data directly and not to change to a different location within the enterprise portal.
if yes, how can I do that? Is it also possible to modify different fields depending on the department of the user who wants to change a profile?
Thanks in advance
Michael

I think you'd need to write a brand new who's who for this...

LDAP user details not showing in Portal UME

We have implemented kerberos single sign on using the kerberos xml datasource file and have the corporate LDAP as our UME source.
However certain user details that are maintained in LDAP (such as department, street etc) are not being pulled through to the portal UME.
We know the connection to the LDAP is OK as we can create new users and they appear in portal UME - its just that it seems to be missing several user attributes.
Is this related to the settings in the xml file?
And if so, what needs changing??
thanks
Simon.

Hi Simon,
all the attributes that are available in your LDAP can be made available in the UME via the dataSourceConfiguration. The default files does not include every attribute since these may vary from directory to directory. Please take a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b7/14d43f2dd44821e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

API - To change user details

If you create Portal users through the API and then amend user
detail via the API using wwsec_api.modify_user then you find that
when the user logs into Portal, there details aren't visible from
the maintain user screen.
How do we synchronize the data we have just added via the API
call into, presumably the Portal30 schema?
It can be seen that their details on portal30_sso.wwsec_person$
are correct, however the corresponding table in the portal30
schema still contains the old user information. How can we
synchronize the two ? Preferably using an API
call?

I also have a similar ?, is changing user name a normal case scenario or a big problem in portal

ISE 1.2 Guest portal user cannot change their passwords

I have a WLC 5508(version 7.6) and a server installed the ISE (version 1.2.1.198)，Now we configured the CWA，Use guest portal as an employee and guest login url，We can use the manually create internal user and password successfully logged in, and we set up allow guest users to change password in Multi-Portal, but the user can not change the password in the guest portal ,I suspect the change password option on the Guest Portal actually works? Can anyone tell me how to change their own username password in the guest portal ?

Requiring Guests to Change Password
You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
Before You Begin
Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
Step 4 Check either or both options:
Allow guest users to change password
Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login
Step 5 Click Save .

Retriving user details from user rofile in portal database

HI all,
any one knows how to retrive user details from user rpofile in portal database. I am using webdynpro appliction.Please reply.
Thank you
Maruthi

Hi maruti Rao ,
All Gives U gud Idea..here i give u some brief procedure.First of all u need to add 2 jar file in ur project structure for proper working of "com.sap.security.api.IUser" Interface. After that for retriving Users data Stored on LDAP Server.
If you are using an LDAP directory as a data source for your user-related data, the logical attribute names used by the Java application programming interface (API) of SAP User Management Engine (UME) must be mapped to the physical attribute names used in the schema of your corporate LDAP directory.
Example Data-Source File is as Below From Where U can Get All The Information of Logged user...

How to change the portal user id 's assigned employee in ESS configuration

Hello Gurus,
I now have a question related to ESS configuration. I want to know how to change the Portal user's pernr assignment in the ECC 6.0 system. Somebody had actually assigned my portal user ID a PERNR in the ECC 6.0 system. But now, for test purposes, I want to change the PERNR assignment to something else for my portal user id.
Could any of you please guide me in doing these steps?
Points will definitely be awarded for helpful answers.
Thanks gurus in advance for your help.
~~LB

Hi Leena,
You can create a new user name with the username and password assigned to it, with the transaction SU01.
Ex : ESS_USER1
Go to transaction code : PA30.
Enter the pernr you want to assign to the user ESS_USER1 that you have created earlier.
Enter infotype number : 105
Now go ahead and click on the change button.
And assign the user name as ESS_USER1.
Then the pernr number will be assigned to the ESS_USER1 that you have created.
You can check the same when you go to the HRUSER transaction code.
Please let me know if you still have any issues on the same.
Cheers.

Users dn changes in AD, OID and portal

I have some question about dn changes...
we have a synchronized Active Directory with OID. When user's dn changes in AD, it changes in OID.
We using portal API (wwsec_api, wwsec_oid) functions for managing user... such as set his default group, add/remove to/from group and others.. After user's dn have changed these funtions not working for that user.
so.. here comes my questions:
these portal API functions uses dn from table portal.wwsec_person$ ?
if so, is there a way to update dn in this table when it changed in OID automatically? Or it can be done only manualy?
is it safe to update dn in this table?
thanks for any hints.
shar

thank you for response.
as I'm new to synchronization, some questions comes because of not knowing something..
Now I see that all changes in portal are made just after the user logs in. That was the problem.
