[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I want to setup the Enterprise portal with IDM 7.1 (Newly)

Identity Management for SAP System Landscapes Configuration Guide ->

3.4.3 Setting up the SAP NetWeaver Portal Environment Use Case says

The AS Java that is running the portal reads the identity data directly from the
corporate LDAP directory server, and only the user/role assignments are provisioned to this
system

1)Why LDAP directory server required to setup EP with IDM. With out LDAP is it possible to setup Portal enviroment with IDM ?.

2)If lDAP Server is must to Setup the Enterprise portal with IDM, is it possible to use the IDM server as LDAP server?. please guide us.,

Thanks
