regarding LDAP

hi guys,

need clarification on LDAP. I know LDAP is Light weight Directory access protocol.

but no idea how its used for EP and Java.

Please correct my understanding if its wrong.

LDAP is protocol and this protocol accesses LDAP directories(need Software to be installed like Active directory, openLDAP etc).

Now In EP, what do you mean by changing UME to LDAP as datasource. I know UME is Repository for Java Users. But Changing datasource to LDAP means adding LDAP directory(like ADS) and add Java Users to it?

I am confused with LDAP, LDAP Directory, LDAP Datasource and LDAP(users,Groups) . How it can be really accessed and confirm it?

regards

Jaichan

Java supports the access to an active directory over LDAP to store its users. Basically all you have to do is specify the ldap server and its port and you need a user with at least read permissions on the ldap server.

I further suggest you check out the official SAP documentation: [UME - LDAP Directory as Data Source|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/DE/48/d1d13f7fb44c21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]
