Can we use Nominal Users in SAP MC? AIX/ORA

[Former Member]

Hi there,

Regarding security policies, at our company the os user access will be only as Nominal Users and then sudoing to the SIDadm or oraSID users.

But... always is a but...

When we try to open the SAPMC, the application ask for user and password. The only way to access the SAPMC is providing SIDadm user. Even if the Nominal users, at the OS Level are in the same groups definition.

Does anybody knows how works the user authentication for the SAPMC? We look at the OS Level, when we use the SIDadm user, and there is NO traces at this level about logon tries. We also try to use a wrong password, that Secutiry Poliecies alerts when this situation occurs using ssh,ftp and NO records are generated at OS Level.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best Regards

MJ

Hi Martin,

If you read the above notes suggested by Deepak and Roman, you know how this works and how you can make adjustment to your system using profile parameters and OS specific changes.

Also, have a look at some thread to get a quick overview
