Connecting MDM to a LDAP directory (IDM)

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

Does anybody already connected MDM to a LDAP directory? I have a requirement to integrate MDM with IDM (Novell). The IDM should mantain users and groups of MDM.

Also, is there any way to connect UME on MDM user and groups database? this solution is also valid once the IDM is already integrated with EP.

Thanks in advance,

HI Armando,

You can find the details on configuring LDAP in the MDM Console Reference Guide.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm

You will find the LDAP Chapter in the Below Section:

MDM Console Reference Guide > Appendices > LDAP

Hope this helps.

Hi Armando,

MDM integration with LDAP is supported in MDM 7.1, you can configure and use LDAP as a datasource for users and roles. You can create a custom attribute in LDAP to identify the MDM Roles. Refer to the MDM Console Reference Guide for the procedure.

Regarding you second question, if you have configured the same LDAP ds in portal also then you can us Trusted Connections to enable SSO between portal and MDM.

Hope this helps!!
