Hi Experts,

     I was looking for a method to maintain Communication method in SU01 through SAP NetWeaver Identity Management (SAP IdM) . But I was not sure what is the corresponding attribute for Comm Method in SU01. Can anyone please comment on this?

     Also I wanted to know if there is any other configuration I am supposed to maintain inorder to make the above functionality work?

Regards,

Hi Mohammed,

I had a quick look for you and found that attribute MX_COMMUNICATION_METHOD is the one you're looking for.

However I geuss some additional valuehelp is needed, since for example MX_COMMUNICATION_METHOD = 'INT' appears to translate to Comm. Meth = 'E-mail' in SU01.

And I also get a warning that "No data maintained for standard communication type 'E-Mail'" when provisioning it.

I didn't find any valuehelp loadjob for this in the standard job templates, I'm not sure about that.

Maybe someone else has some experience on this.

Good luck!

Regards,

Wim.

hi praman,

CUA is central user administration

Its a central system where where we maintain / create users.

For instance : you have 30 systems installed (like ECC6.0 (dev / QA / PROD),

SRM,BI,CRM...)

if u get a request from client saying you need to create 50 users in 30

systems (ie u are giving access to the users in 30 systems).

So what you do - in each and every sytem u need to create users (user

creation independent of other system / clients) its a tedious process.

if at all you have central system(CUA) install,then within 3 to 5 sec you

will be able to create 50 users in 30 system.

it enables you to manage several thousand users and their individual role

assignments.

How to know that CUA is installed in ur company- Su01 -Create /change user

-> if you notice "system tab" other than role, profile , logon...then it is

CUA.

CUA gets connected to all your child system (BI,SRM,ECC...) using ALE / IDOC

method.

CUA only get connected to ABAP systems.

If at all user wants to reset password / unlock he needs to approach help

desk / security team

IDM - Identity Management.

Gets connected to ABAP system + NON ABAP systems + third party tools

Adv of IDM : Self service password reset.

IDM : can be connected and used in combination with an existing CUA.

or if CUA is not installed ,you can directly go for IDM.

Enables workflow-based requests for approvals, automating user provisioning

in multiple back-end systems

Supports LDAP directories and databases, as well as standards such as SPML

Supports tight integration with SAP Business Suite 7.0 .

Hello Ramesh,

if I were you I would start a thread of my own for this question, because I think you want to achieve something very different than the thread starter. That way it will probably have better chances of getting answered for you.

Hello Ramesh,

                     yes the above question is probably better in the security forum http://scn.sap.com/community/security if you are referring to sending mails from the ABAP server.

Thanks,

Chris
