LDAP server not active - LDAP synchronization

[s_pados]

Hello,

We are trying to setup LDAP synchronization on NW2004 (BASIS 640) system using transaction LDAP. When logging on to the LDAP error "LDAP server not acitve" error shows up.

On the LDAP side unknown protocol appears as error messgae. The LDAP only accepts SSL connections. By default the SAP ABAP system tries to connect non-SSL.

Is it possible to set the connection up in SAP usinf SSL to LDAP? If yes how do we accomplish that. IF no are there alternatives to connect using SSL?

I received a reply on an email to SAP Walldorf. As we run SAP on AIX, SSL LDAP connection is not supported. As indicated in the reply above there is a possiblity only when you run SAP on Windows Server.

Too bad

Hello,

I haven't tried this myself yet, but I think this is what you need to do:

1/ Configure the LDAP Connector:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/10/1a063a15c611d4b61f0000e835363f/content.htm

2/ Check note 456666:

https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=456666

This note describes how to use SSL for LDAP connections to MS Active Directory, which boils down to this:

• setting the port for the LDAP connection to 636 (default port for secure LDAP)

• making sure that on the server where you use the LDAP connector the root CA certificate that issued the certificate for the MS Domain Controller is imported on OS-level into the Trusted Root Authorities store (physical store, not the user store).

I hope this helps, let us know if it works.

Kind regards,

Dagwin

Thanks Depdeep, but I am not talking about J2EE UME but within WAS ABAP using tcode LDAP and SM59.

The picture in link below states it should work, however I can not find anywhere how to use SSL with a TCP/IP destination in SM59 or define it somewhere else.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/13/bdd13ffc9a4a21e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

For HTTP destinations in SM59 SSL can be selected but not for TCP/IP. HTTPS is active on the system so libraries are loaded.

Question remains how to activate SSL for the LDAP connection.
