Can IdM be used as LDAP directory and UME datasource?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out what IDM can and cannot do.

Can IDM be used as a LDAP datasource in its own right for a SAP Portal for example?

Or do you still have to use an external LDAP directory and IDM is then only used to pull everything together from all systems?

Thanks,

Hi Adriaan,

it should be tecnically possible to use the Virtual Directory Server as a LDAP datasource for portal, but you probably have to edit the datasource.xml of portal and the connection.

I'd rather use the portal database or a dedicated LDAP for that and use IdM to provision into this repository.

Regards,

Andreas
