Siteminder portal implemementation

[Former Member]

Hi Portal Gurus,

We are in process of implementing site minder sso with sap portal for EFP . I have configured it in such a way that when the users access portal first it takes to siteminder logon page and authenticates there once its authenticated then it will take you in to portal.

once I configured site minder on portal I cannot login with administrator as site minder could not find user administrator user in respective LDAP Server. So how do we resolve this problem? This LDAP is being used by all portal servers (dev,quality ,prod).If I create a user ADMINISTRATOR user in LDAP ,does it effect for all other portal servers.? and what about sap* ,if you want to login in portal with sap* as emegency user ?

If anybody has any idea how to resolve this problem?

One more question. Is this configured on NW04 Portal? If so did you have to install the SAP WEB AS Siteminder Agent to get this to work?

Thanks,

Keith,

I dont think need to remove siteminder configuration if you need to login with administrator or sap* as emgency user in portal .There should be some solution..

Well,this is configured on NW04 Portal.you have to install the SAP WEB AS ERP Siteminder Agent and deploy to get this to work.

Since Siteminder is only configured to go against the LDAP Directory it can not authenticate users that are stored in the Portal Database UME.

The only way that I know to get around this issue would be to remove siteminder authentication whenever you need to use one of those ids.

Hope it helps.
