LDAP Authentication

[Former Member]

Hello,

we are using the database as data source for our SAP NW Portal users. Also we are using Novell eDirectory in our company. Is it possible to use the database as data source for the users where all user attributes are saved but do the authentication against the Novell eDirectory? We want to have the complete user management with attributes, roles, groups, ... in the databse but the login should check userID and password against eDirectory. All users have the same userID in database and in eDirectory.

Best Regards

Hi,

this is possible but not included in the standard. What you need to do is write a JAAS login module that does the authentication. See here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/46/3ce9402f3f8031e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm, for instance.

Cheers,

Kai
