Hi,

if you want to be able to create your users from the Portal (using the UME) then you must set up your configuration to have write access to the ABAP system as well. Please have a look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/af3ac012d32e78e10000000a155369/frameset.htm

and here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8f/67d27676ace84080964d4c4223bb3c/content.htm.

But just ask your ABAP admins. They should be able to create the users you want in the ABAP system fairly simple a small script. Then you can assign the roles and groups to these users from the portal.

Hi Holger,

I can create the users from SAP gui easily but i want to import a list of LDAP users ,

so that they can access the portal.For this i have to create all the users from the

ABAP stack one by one.

Can i import all the users from ABAP stack?

Or for importing i have to do from the portal UME, through usermanagement- > import.

Thanks

Hi,

so your portal is currently connect to the ABAP system. Because of that all users in the ABAP system are already able to log on to the portal.

Now you have more LDAP users (that are not in the ABAP system) and you want to allow these LDAP users to be able to connect to the portal as well.

The first step would be to identify the users which you need. Then either change the connection to the ABAP system (so that you are able to create users in the ABAP system) or ask your ABAP admins to create these users in the backend.

Which datasourceconfiguration are you using? Take a look at Note 718383 - NetWeaver: Supported UME Data Sources and Change Options.

When you chose dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml then you should be able to create users with the UME directly on the database and not in the ABAP system.

Hi

depending on the complexity of your logon page a very simple way can be to just create individual HTML pages that do a POST to the actual login page (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/62/601e1eebf54ca6a97e2873c8c63517/frameset.htm).

If this is not enough than you probably have to create individual logon PAR files and access them (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm).

I am not sure about the redirection after the log off. I think it is only possible to log off to one URL (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/44/aada5230be5e77e10000000a155369/frameset.htm). Of course you could implement some logic there so that this URL redirects to the individual login-URL.

Hi

Do you mean creating portal users? That can be done if you have a text document of users with data in the required format. If you have it, you can upload it using User Administration -> Import/Export available in portal. If not, you can create users using User Administration -> Create User in NW04 or User Administration -> Identity Management in NW04S.

Hi,

First try to export the default users from portal using the same option. You can get the format from it.

Generally the format has user, his groups, roles, date of creation etc.

Hi

i can create a user for the portal from the SAP gui.

But I am not able to create user from Portal user administration-->identity management or from user administration-->import

As it is giving error:

Current user has user creation permissions in the UME, but cannot create users in the back-end system (data source). The original and possibly untranslated message was: "Cannot create user *G7NL9D6TBXR in ABAP backend system. Reason: The UME/ABAP adapter has recognized that the communication user is only assigned to the read-only role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO (or no role at all) in the backend system. Therefore UME was set to read-only mode for users from the backend system. See SAP Note 908911 for further information

I have followed the SAp note 908911.

According to that i have assigned the role SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION to the user from from SAP gui.and assign SAP_ALL profile to the user also.

Still its giving this error.So what would be the solution for that.

Help will be appreciated.

thanks

Hi,

I think the WebAS sits on ABAP+Java stack. In this case, users can be created in ABAP stack only. As you mentioned, it is SAP GUI. I am not aware of any workaround to create from portal which is Java stack.
