Hi Michael,

I have posted a wiki in portal are about LDAP Configuration, please go through it.

To Configure LDAP Server you have to make settings in config tool

1) Enter connection data for the LDAP server in the LDAP configuration tool.

2) Select the location of default users and groups.

3) Restart all cluster nodes.

4) Verify the configuration.

5) Change user in secure storage (optional)

Steps to Start Config Tool

1) Go to the Server Installed path i.e. usr\sap\<systemid>\<system instance>\J2EE\configtool\

2) Choose configtool.bat and start it.

3) On the Navigation Area you choose UME LDAP data.

4) In the Configuration file list box, choose the appropriate configuration file.

Example: dataSourceConfiguration_r3.xml for R/3 Stack.

5) Enter the connection details for your LDAP data source.

6) Test the Connection.

6) Restart the server.

Hi,

The enterprise portal uses the User Management Engine (UME) for managing users. The UME supports various data sources for storing user information such as the AS-ABAP database, the AS-Java database, or an LDAP directory server. So all your user account information (userid, password etc.) can reside in a LDAP server and you can configure the UME to authenticate users against this LDAP server. LDAP is just another way of storing user data.

To set up an LDAP directory server as the data source for the UME, you first have to install EP using the AS-Java database as the user store. After the installation, you will switch the data source to an LDAP directory server.

Go through <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/2c/8f0faf4cc446b8a125ff682a95c1ae/frameset.htm">this</a> documentation if you want to know the steps for configuration.
