Active Directory Login Different from SAP Login

368 Views

I have a requirement to setup SSO into an ECC backend system via Enterprise Portal. I have configured EP to use Active Directory as the user data source. Within AD the logon IDs are "firstname.lastname" which is, in most cases, too long for an SAP ID. We have updated an standard AD attribute (employeeNumber) to house the SAP ID which of course is assigned to the respective AD Account. What I would like to do is allow users to log into EP with their standard UID (firstname.lastname) but pass their SAP UID (employeeNumber) to the backend to allow SSO to function properly.

I update the Data Source File XML to allow the users to log on to EP with their SAP UID and have that ID pass back to the ECC system and SSO functions properly. I have not been able to do so when they log in using their standard UID (firstname.lastname). I imagine that their needs to be some mapping completed. Does this needs to be performed for each user within the UME or can this be execute within the Source File XMLs?

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks!
