login with same user id on AD (LDAP)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to use the user repository of my ABAP server as Active Directory. I have recently changed my UME in Java to use AD as the user repository. But I am trying to see how can I do this on ABAP. Is it through the LDAP transaction. By the way, I am not asking for SNC/SSO. Thanks for your help and inputs.

Hello Jim,

You can sync data between AD and ABAP using a report.

There are configuration steps that need to be performed in LDAP t-code - please search in SCN and I'm sure that you will find plenty resources to answer all questions you might have.

Note that you cannot sync passwords between AD and ABAP - this is a known limitation.

Another limitation that you might face is whether you have user IDs in AD with length > 12 characters. In ABAP the maximum length of an user ID is 12 characters.

Kind regards,

Cris
