Verify the SAP ME user and pwd

[former_member323997]

Hi,

We have a requirement that we cannot use the POD as a client to do the operations, therefore we need a customized client connecting to SAP ME system. We have the problems that how to implement the user authentication from this customized client. We checked all the possible PAPPI, it seems nothing is with the user/password verification.

Could you please give me any guides how to implement this? The logic can be similar as the POD login.

Thanks & regards,

Leon

Hi Leon,

I guess this topic is covered by SAP ME SDK training that is based on ME PAPI usage.

As soon as your question looks quite general, you'd rather specify your problem with more details or provide some custom code that causes a problem. Then maybe some of ME developers will suggest something specific to answer your question.

Thank you, Sergiy. I'll try to type as much of my requirement as possible.

Due to some reasons, we cannot use the POD as the client application. Therefore we have to develop our own client, we can use the PAPI to implement most of the functionalities, but this client also needs the login authentifications like we have in POD. The operators are still the SAP ME user and the user ID/password is created in the SAP NW UME. For this client, the first window we will provide is the login, user can type his ID and then password integrated in the UME, and then the client should send the request (can be the webserice request) to verify whether the ID and password is correctly created in UME, if not then the client should show the error, if so, then we can use the PAPI to verify the user group permission configuration. We realized the PAPI only supports to retrieve the user group information maintained in SAP ME, but for the user ID and password it seems the PAPI does not support to validate. What we are looking for is how to verify the user ID and password from the client perpsective.

Thanks & regards,

Leon

Hi Leon,

Starting ME 6 user authentication is handled by Netweaver. You can check ME Security guide and corresponding Netweaver guides. You can also find threads in ME forum with questions about user authentication and links suggested there.

Should you need more assistance, please, address your question to the corresponding Netweaver forum.
