Automated HANA User Creation from SLT server - Just started happening?

[MattHarding]

I have an odd predicament.  No one claims to have touched our SLT or HANA live system in a way that would do this (and except for the HEC team, it's a very small group of people who could do this), and no upgrades seem to have been done, but for some reason, a few weeks ago; a very useful feature was activated that no one seems to know exists.

In short, when you touch a user on the ABAP SLT server (which is not being replicated at all into HANA live), it automatically creates/adjusts/locks/unlocks the associated user on the HANA database.  e.g. If I lock a user on the SLT ABAP server, within half a second, the user is locked on HANA.

In other words, something is keeping the users on the SLT server and the HANA server in sync. 

Unfortunately, it is not setting up users quite the way we need them set-up (SAML, Logon Tickets, etc); so I need to change this, but since I can't find any database triggers, queues, events, etc; that are triggering this change; I'm struggling to know what to do to address this.

The question: Does anyone know what feature is activated to do this and know where there's any documentation on it?

Note - Previously I had written a question (and solution) to do all this manually, but obviously need to tweak this to work with this new functionality.

For reference we are running HANA 1.00.102.04.1453734118 (HEC based) and SLT server 2.0 (on a NetWeaver 7.40 system).

Thanks,

Matt

HI Matt

cross posting is a violation of .

So please be a nice community citizen and delete one of the threads yourself - we moderators are not here to "clean up"...

Cheers,

Lars

Hi Lars,

If I could delete it, I would have (discussions can't be deleted by non-moderators it seems). And the only reason for cross posting was to correctly post it to the right forum, so pretty sure I didn't violate any rules of engagement (since I can't move or delete the post).  In other words I just hit a limitation of the current SCN platform so I need to call on a moderator to help in today's SCN world.  As a moderator myself, I think this is fine to ask for to keep the community content clean.

Note - For reference, I felt a little attacked by your comments but hoping it was just my take on what you wrote and not your intention.

Regards,

Matt

No reason for feeling attacked here.

The RoE don't have conditions on the motive of member actions but only on the actual outcome.

So why you cross posted the question doesn't change if it violates the RoE.

And that's the part I commented on.

Of course i see the point and luckily this bit (finding the 'right' space) shouldn't be a problem anymore, once we get the new Q&A platform with 1DX, because there won't be spaces anymore but content will be connected via tags.

Concerning the ask for keeping the community clean, I think we will have to disagree here.

The main responsibility has to lay with the users of the community. All moderators do the duty on a voluntary basis and handling the actual moderation requests typically takes up most of this time.
