MDM webdynpro components connection through single system user

Former Member

Hi dear experts,

We have the following scenario in our case:

1. We cannot use LDAP for MDM as the policy in our company is to use LDAPS, which is not supported by MDM. We do use LDAPS for the Portal.

2. We have developed an interface for all the Edit roles in the portal via webdynpro components and created these user IDs in the repository to make the trusted connection work for them.

3. What we need for the Display role though, is to be available to every user that logs into the Portal, which has to be done via a single MDM user ID. How can we make that happen?

We looked at the webdynpro wrapper that we create for these components and it has a method

setUserName

, but for some reason when the component is activated on the screen, it gets the portal user ID again.

Please advice if you know a way to overcome this obstacle.

Thanks in advance,

Boris

Hello Boris

Connection to SAP MDM from Portal and connection trough web-service that are different things.

I think that two links can help you, item "Configuring a Constant User and Password" :

and item "Connecting to the MDM Repository":

Hi Kanstantsin,

Thanks for your response. We are using the MDM Webdynpro components to expose the MDM data in the portal.

Of course, we also have Webservices that we integrated with BPM, but the requirement here is to make the WD component iViews work through one specific MDM account.

This is the piece that I can't figure out yet.

Hi Boris

WebDynPro components are using SAP MDM ABAP or JAVA API and working under SAP AS

Your WDP components connected to mdm directly through connection() metod where you should set user like as mdm-user and password like as mdm-password.

When we got a problem with standart MDM functionality we developed own WDP application on ABAP API

That application has own GUI, internal tables for store users and it's permissions, visability rules, ets.,

and connect to sap mdm through one login.

I think, from your WDP application you can use some standard components from SAP NW Portal and delegate user permissions.

But we didn't use that.
