Hi All,
we connected our NW 7.0 Portal to the corporate LDAP server using the profile dataSourceConfiguration_novell_readonly_db.xml. Connection is up and running and the UME lists all users from the LDAP and they can logon.
The LDAP cannot provide any groups or roles. However, it provides a department name for every user.
My question is if it is possible to make a user automatically a member of a portal group named like the department he or she is working in and how this mapping can be achieved.
I downloaded the XML-file and studied the SAP-help concearning this matter, but I'm a little lost because of all the different tags of the XML-file and I don't quite comprehend how the mapping is done exactly. I'm not that keen on experimenting with the different tags since this requires frequent portal restarts and there seem to be many possible combinations.
I figure my request is not that exotic so maybe someone has done that before. Could someone out there help? It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Jens
