Shared UME between EP and Web dynpro running on different instance.

[Former Member]

Hello,

User and Roles Management is done on EP 6.0,

my Web Dynpro application is running on a different host,

- Web Dynpro app authenticates user with Cookie: MYSAPSSO

How to get more infos on connected user ( Roles, Groups, Permissions ... ) ?

Does it possible to share UME between EP and J2EE running on different instances ?

I've identified 1 workaround solutions:

- Write a Portal service that provide additionnal infos as a webservice, then call this webservice in Web dyn pro app.

Does any alternative solution exist ?

Hi

We are also using the same solution of using the Webservice to retrieve the details. But if you can synchronize the UME's between the EP and J2EE instances then also it is possible to retrieve the details. We havent tried it but it is possible.

About the web service solution, does the portal provide this web service by default , or does we need to develop and deploy on portal ?

About the second solution you say it is possible, how we can try it ? Does any documentation exist or sample ?

How about clustering them? This gives you the additional advantage that you have 2 hosts for your EP and Web Dynpro apps, offering higher availability to your end-users.

Hi

No portal does not provide a default webservice. You will have to create a Portal Service (See document on how to create a Portal Service). You will have to expose this Portal Service as a Webservice.

I dont have any document on the second solution but i will see if i can get any document on it.
