VDS Update via External Source

[former_member247081]

Gurus,

I've configured the integration between VDS and an identity store. The IS is based on an SAP ABAP AS back-end system (ECC 6.0) and houses user and role data. I have a requirement to update this data using an external source. We've been told that we can use standard LDAP protocol to update this information from an external LDAP source. In short, we've connected to the VDS from an external LDAP (not the delieverd LDAP browser within the VDS). When the attempt is made to update the data, say change a users last name, the following error message is received:

02:53:47 PM: Failed to update entry cn=A052003, ou=ic, o=ids

Root error: [LDAP: error code 32 - (NWIDM-identityCenter:32:Can not add entry to MIC:java.lang.Exception: Could not carry out Get_IS_EntryID - exception:java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

PLS-00201: identifier 'MXIE_GET' must be declared

ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

PL/SQL: Statement ignored

The first question would be, are we even able to update the data, that we can view from the VDS, using the internal LDAP browser or an external LDAP application?

Secondly is this the right approach to update this data? Or should we be looking into direct table updates?

Any insight is appreciated!

Thx

After contacting SAP we were told that the LDAP browser delivered as part of the VDS is just that, a browser (read-only). Though you can update the data using another LDAP application like LDP.

Hi Michael, just in case you need an LDAP tool to manipulate entries hidden by the VDS, you may wish to use the LDAP transaction in the ERP system. This transaction allows you to setup a connection to an LDAP server or the VDS, logon to this server, add, modify and delete entries in the server.

Best regards,

Anders
