Hi Gurus,
i want to know if we have LDAP connected to a Portal and someone creates a user on Portal UME , will the user get created in LDAP or portal UME.
The situation is where any registerd user accessing the portal should be authenticated against LDAP and he can also do a self registration from portal.So if he self registers, does his user id/Password gets created in LDAP or it stays in Portal UME.If it gets stored all the way to LDAP then we are fine, if not , then is there a way to replicate this user id password to LDAP.
Thanks in Advance!

User will be created in UME only not in LDAP.

No the user is created in UME database and not in LDAP. If you are setting up your user persistence in LDAP (authenticating users from LDAP) then you have to setup users in LDAP. UME has a read only access to things that it pulls from LDAP.

Thanks a Lot Zaheer, but here is a link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/48/d1d13f7fb44c21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
which says
You can connect the LDAP directory as a read-only data source or as a writeable data source.
Is this contradicting...or does it mean something else..writing only the address part of the user...

Normally, LDAP is connected in read mode only, however if in your landscape you are setting it up as read/write then LDAP can be written by UME, however there will be restrictions which you should be aware of like assignment of user to any LDAP group or assignment of LDAP user to UME group.
