The Enterprise Portal in our environment is configured in such a way that the user authentication is done through LDAP. So I assume that the user's details like First Name, Last name etc. are stored in the LDAP.
We are developing a Web Dynpro application which should automatically fetch the details of the current logged in user, and populate certain input fields. I am aware of the standard code, which can be written in Web Dynpro application to retrieve the information. This I guess is retrieved from the information stored at the Portal level.
My understanding is that Portal would be getting the user's details from the LDAP, because Portal uses LDAP for authentication. So is it right to assume that - Web Dynpro application can access the user information from Portal, while the Portal would get the data from LDAP.
In other words I would not require to use LDAP APIs directly from the Web Dynpro application.
Has any one worked on a solution in a scenario similar to this, who could validate my assumptions?
Thanks in advance,
SPK.
