Hi Lohi,

UME setup

1) go to Configuration tool (C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC02\j2ee\configtool\consoleconfig.bat)

2) For “Global server configuration->services->com.sap.security.core.ume.service” define property “ume.admin.addattrs” as “BU_PARTNER” and for “ume.admin.self.addattrs” as “<empty>”. (to set value select entry, input value in “Value” field and click “Set”)

3) Click “Apply changes” button on the toolbar.

4) Restart server.

5) Login to http://<server_name>:<server_port>/useradmin/index.jsp and define “BU_PARTNER” property.

Code:

try {
	final IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
	final IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
		
	final String[] attribute = user.getAttribute(
		"com.sap.security.core.usermanagement", 
		"BU_PARTNER");
				
	if( attribute==null || attribute.length == 0 || !Utils.isNotEmpty(attribute[0]) ) {
		wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportMessage(...);
		return;
	} else {
		buPartner = attribute[0];
	}
} catch (final WDUMException e) {
	wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportMessage(...);
}

Hi,

you have to add some attributes by the config tool (<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/50ad3e1d1edc61e10000000a114084/content.htm">SAP Help</a>).

In your application you can retrieve the attribute values by one of these methods of IPrincipal:

getAttributeNamespaces()
getAttributeNames(java.lang.String namespace) 
getAttribute(java.lang.String namespace, java.lang.String name)
