IMP : LDAP access ( 2 servers ) from Internet and intranet

81 Views

Dear Portal Specialists,

We are in EP 7.0,SPS11.

We want to internet enable EP.

We are implementing ESS.

LDAP is Microsoft AD 2003.

Our scenario is as below :

1) currently LDAP is in internal domain ( hoisted inside the company )

2) EP and other SAP systems are hoisted outside the company

3) What is the best way to get the users ( employees) authenticated.

Q1) Is it possible to authenticate users(employees) who come from the internet to get authenticated thru a LDAP server which resides in external domain ( outside the company) and users who access ep thru intranet to a LDAP server which is internally hoisted. ( it will be the same user who may access ep thru the internet or thru the intranet )

In the backend we dont want to maintain 2 user ids for every user.

The idea is to NOT traverse the network and break into the firewall for every authentication from internet.

Appreciate any inputs.

Thanks.
