Alias field update in ABAP system

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

Need your input in updating Alias field under SU01 (User master record) when we create new user in IdM.

For example if we are creating new user "ABCD1234" from IdM, when this id created in ABAP, alias field should also populate with ABCD1234@XYZ.NET"

Please share your input or guidance on achieving this requirement, we are using IdM 7.2 (SP9).

Regards,

Manish

HI Manish,

Agree with Matt. But in nut shell,

Check if users have MX_LOGONALIAS attribute is filled in with required value

If not, then create a job to assign MX_LOGONALIAS with %MSKEYVALUE%@XYZ.NET values

Also, update the user load from your source to include this attribute for any new user

Then make sure if createABAPuser task has useralias = %MX_LOGONALIAS% attribute.

PS: If attribute MX_LOGONALIAS is a trigger attribute for any repository(ies), then it would trigger Modify task for those repositories when you assign MX_LOGONALIAS to users in mass meaning the users will be updated with alias in abap system.

If not an trigger attribute, then any user created henceforth will get alias.

PPS: The above steps are explained in config guide shared by Matt. Thanks.

Kind regards,

Jai

Manish,

I'd suggest you start with the Landscape and Provisioning framework documentation.

That's a pretty big and vague question, but IDM is certainly capable of doing it.
