MI and Portal togather

[Former Member]

Hi all

As an upgrade the client is about to do Portal EP 7.0 and MI 7.0 togather. Since MI requires both ABAP and Java, the UME data source is by default directed to ABAP. Since the user credentials for existing EP6.0 is up and running using the LDAP Active Directory, we wanted to proceed the same way for EP7.0 and MI 7.0 in the up grade. We face the following problem

- The UME data source is by default pointing the ABAP, there is no choice given to us to change the data source to LDAP.

Is there any way we can make the UME source to point to Java and if so how?

Can the Abap UME connect to LDAP active directory for user authentication and if so, how?

Had any body came across this situation.

Thanks

Raj

Hi Rajasekaran,

Depending on the data source configuration file you use in the case of your dual stack installation you can decide whether we can change to some other datasource or not.Since it is a dual stack installation, its UME has to be handled through ABAP stack.So i think in your case, the configuration file may be dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml by default.You cannot change from this configuration file to any other.

Just refer this help link for getting idea on ABAP Data Source,

Refer this note for getting tips on Supported UME Data Sources and Change Options.

I think your requirement can be satisfied through SSO using logon-ticket, since all the Portal and MI users can be configured on the same Dual Stack server.

While creating connection between ABAP stack and J2EE stack which is recommended for the working of MI, you will be mentioning one particular client.THis time all the users which have got MI related roles in this client can be used as MI users.

We can configure the portal server in such a way that all the users have to come from the ABAP system.You will have to mention one client and system user(SAPJSF for dual stack by default) while doing the necessary configuration.If you are mentioning the same client you were using for MI, then all the MI users become the portal users also. From the portal u can configure SSO to connect to the ABAP system.

Just refer this forum discussion, i have already discussed in this forum.
