Is Identity Lifecycle Management is the best scenario/Use Cases ?

99 Views

Hi Experts

We have a big landscape with lots of SAP products like ERP ,BI,CRM , SRM, PORTAL,GRC AC ,PI,Documentum, LDAP( ADS ) etc and some third party products to be managed by SAP IDM

Here are the couple of doubts I have

1) Is Identity Life cycle Management is the best scenario/Use Cases in our case. We need grc/idm integration and SAP HR to be the leading data source and services like HR triggers and self-services. If so why?

2) We have EP portal as the front end for all SAP application. Does LDAP(ADS) should be set as the user data source for EP portal and all Java applications as specified in Identity life cycle management ?. We need SSO with the logon ticket issued by EP portal to be used by all other system with out any other authentication. Is this possible with Identity Life cycle Management scenario?

3)In Identity Life cycle Management scenario , SAP product does it authenticate with SAP IDM or with its own datastore? for eg :- Java systems with LDAP, SAP abap with abap database etc. Please confirm SAP IDM is not used for authentication to target system and high availability is not needed.

4) How will be the authentication cycle happen if we use Identity Life cycle Management scenario ? . Suppose the user comes to office, first user authenticate with LDAP to login to his desktop, then does he need to login again to SAP portal to issue an sap logon ticket? Does this logon ticket be used by SAP IDM to facilitate login to other third party application?.

Can somebody who have actually worked on SAP IDM on large landscapes please help me with the above questions.

Thank you in advance for your helps.
