UME with ABAP AS and LDAP Datasource

97 Views

Hello SDN´s

We have tried very hard for the last days configuring the ume-xml for the following scenario:

- LDAP is used to authenticate the user

- AS ABAP is used to store the roles of the user (because they automatically becomes groups in the portal)

- the portal and the ABAP-system are on different servers

Given facts:

1) we canu2019t synchronize the roles of the ABAP system to the LDAP

2) we have to use the open-LDAP for the authentication

3) DataSources are readonly

4) User can have similar or different userid´s on the DataSources (Mapping required)

Therefore, we read the user and account information from the LDAP and groups/roles form the ABAP AS.

Result:

a) user with similar userid on LDAP and ABAP AS: These user were no longer able to log on to the portal

b) user with different id´s (mapped) on LDAP and ABAP: Can log on

Questions:

- Is it true that similar userid´s leads to inherent problems of the UME Persistence Manager?

- Did we set up a wrong config-xml?

- Is there any other way how we could authenticate to the LDAP and having the Roles of a user read from the ABAP system dynamically?

Thank you very much for your help

Sincerely, A. Hunziker
