{

epUser = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);

}

catch(Exception e)

Hi,

Please use IUserFactory API where in you can use the method:getLogonByUserId().Also there are additional methods of IUserAccount as well.

Do try and let me know.

You know, there is documentation: Using User Management Engine API - Portal - SAP Library and User Management Functions for Users - Integrating Security Functions - SAP Library.

Do not use the method getEP5User.

Try to use get User by Login ID.

Hi sharath ,

As specified earlier ,

IResourceContext resourceContext = new ResourceContext(epUser);

will give error when we use User from Login ID

Try to check for the Jar which provides the IUser for you. IUser in the older may be deprecated and to resolve, you may have to use the new Jar for 7.3 under JDK6.

For example: For IRole, you need to replace com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IRoleFactory with com.sap.security.api.IRoleFactory and import com.sap.security.api.IRoleFactory instead of com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IRole. while migrating the Portal applications from 7.0x to 7.3

Try to look up for something similar for IUser.

Hopefully it should solve your issue.

Hi Giovardan,

You can try com.sap.security.api.IUserAccountFactory api, then get user by logon ID.
