ABAP+JAVA Portal needs to authenticaticate to LDAP MS active directory

[Former Member]

Hello all,

i am working on moving a portal from a NW04 (java standalone) to a NW 7.0 EHP1 sp3 ABAP+JAVA.

in the source system i have UME setup to authenticate against an LDAP MS AD. In the target system this option does not seem to be available due to the fact that when the xml file is changed to "dataSourceConfiguration_ads_readonly_db.xml" for the LDAP the system cannot find the users in ABAP. i understand that i will have to setup this connection through ABAP but i could only find sync instructions with AD Link: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e6/0bfa3823e5d841e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm]

i only require a one way authentication from my portal to AD.

is there a way to get this working through ABAP or have the JAVA side UME be able to authenticate and add users from AD so they may gain access?

your help is appreciated.

Regards,

Joe

Hi, if you have configured to use AD, you can't change to use ABAP it's not supported, try to open call to SAP...

P.S. also you can use same AD in your ABAP stack .....

Hi all!

the issue is that i am ussing the dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml. when this is picked in the configtool it will not give you the option to change dataSourceConfiguration to anything else and the LDAP tab is not displayed in portal.my end result would probably be a way to use mixed authentication where ABAP and LDAP will be used as authentications sources. in my current portal system i am ussing the ADS readonly dataSourceConfiguration which lets me read from the java DB users and LDAP.
