Hello!
I have implemented a EP (NW2004s) system once before, and have connected it to our LDAP server without much difficulty.
Now I have just installed another portal with EP (NW2004s SR1) and am having trouble with user mapping in LDAP. I can get the Portal to connect to LDAP with no problem, but the problem is just the user mapping.
We have multiple backend ABAP systems that we connect to through the Portal.
Our LDAP username/login information is different than the usernames/login info in the backend ABAP systems. To resolve this, we have the ABAP login information mapped to the LDAP login information, all within LDAP. So users can log in ot the Portal using their LDAP login info and be able to go into the backend systems without having to login again. This caused no problem with the NW2004s (older) installation.
However, in the new installation it's failing to recogize the user mapping that already exists in LDAP. So basically, I can login to the portal with my LDAP uid, but when I try to go to a backend system, I get a "username or password not recognized" message, and in SM20 (ABAP system) I can see that it's trying to log me in with my LDAP uid, and not mapping to my ABAP uid.
I have basically copied everything from the old installation and have been looking at resolving this issue for a few days now, thinking it might be some small configuration that I'm missing. I've found nothing.
The original configuration file (configtool) we used was exactly the same in both new and old Portal systems. Since they were the same, I saw no problem using our modified copy from the old system.
The system profiles that I created in the Portal for the backend systems are exactly the same. I have the exact same LDAP connection information in both Portal systems (not that it matters since it's not having trouble connecting to LDAP, just mapping, or recognizing the mapping, the LDAP and ABAP uids). The certificate for the Portal has been imported into the backend systems. As well, I have the Portal pointing to one of the created system profiles in the Portal as a reference system. All in all, from what I can tell, both systems are identical as far as the configuration, but it's still not mapping the UIDs.
Would anyone have an idea of what might be causing this, or possibly something else to check? I'm running out of ideas on what it might be.
Thanks so much.
I'll award points for any helpful answers.
Beau.
