Integration: IdM 7.x & BusinessObjects Enterprise XI

[Former Member]

Hi

Can SAP NW IdM 7.1 (future releases) manage Users & Groups within BusinessObjects Enterprise (XI3.1)?

Is there a framework I missed?

Can this only be implemented indirectly with AD / SAP R/3 / LDAP authentication in BusinessObjects?

Or maybe with a to/from database-pass?

Any help (practical / theoretical) is appreciated.

Hi Michael,

We've spoken with SAP about this and currently there isn't a connector for BOBJ components. The options we were advised were to either do it indirectly as you suggested or to develop a connector using the connector development kit. It was suggested SAP may develop one of these themselves this year, but we'd be interested in working with you to collaboratively develop a connector if you'd be interested.

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian

Thanks for your response.

At the very moment we do not have the need for provisioning to BusinessObjects.... I was interested in it because we have a client wo might need that in near future and I wanted to know if a solution already exists....

Nevertheless your proposal sounds interesting... I'll keep that and your SDN-BusinessCard in mind.
