CUP Custmization

Former Member

Hi there,

I am trying to customize the CUP , we have installed and CUP an also uplaoded the Instialization data

and created connectors .

and I would like to know if we need to perform any steps before I start doing the Pre work flow config as per confifg guide

Initializing System Data

􀁸 Defining Connectors

􀁸 Request Configuration

􀁸 Number Ranges

􀁸 Authentication Source for Requestors

􀁸 Defining Authentication

􀁸 Defining Multiple LDAP Authentication

􀁸 Configuring Risk Analysis

􀁸 Configuring Mitigation

􀁸 Defining End User Personalization

􀁸 Defining Support Screen information

􀁸 Defining Role Attributes

􀁸 Configuring Application Approvers

􀁸 Defining SMTP Server Identification

Step 2: Workflow Configuration

Complete the workflow configuration tasks in the following order.

􀁸 Creating an Initiator

􀁸 Defining a Stage

􀁸 Creating Main Paths

􀁸 Adding Detours to a Main Path

􀁸 Defining Auto Provisioning

Step 3: Post-Workflow Configuration

Complete the post-workflow configuration tasks in any order.

􀁸 Configuring a Service Level

􀁸 Configuring User Defaults

Defining Password Self Service

􀁸 Setting Up Background Jobs

􀁸 Creating Custom Fields

2.And also I guess its imperative that I do the field mapping for LDAP , if not I wont be able to search for users etc.

3.unable to import the file for business process ( for role attributes) it says action failed ,Iam forced import as I cannot return any value if I make a search on role approver ( I guess this is coz LDAP mapping is not done yet) configured LDAP as data source.

4. when I click on request access it asks me to log in and my authetication is failing , I tied network Password and access controls password too but still I wouldnt get in.

Please comment ?

Regards

Keith

Hi Keith,

Please make sure that while creating the LDAP connector, you have given the complete User Path and Group path. You need to drill down the complete directory structure till the LDAP User Id and provide the same in User Path field.

The authentication issue should be resolved if your connector set up is appropriate. For searching data from LDAP, yes you will need to do the LDAP mapping first.

What is teh error that you are getting now while trying to import business processes?

Hi Harleen

My LDAP connection is all good , connection is succesful

here is what I got for

User path :DC=unity

Group path :OU=EP6,OU=SAP,OU=Global Resources Europe,DC=europe,DC=unity

I have not yet imported roles form the back end, but I was trying to define Role attributes

I could only get as far as Compnay , functional area ,application area but when I tried importing a file for Business Process , it says action failed.

Hi Keith,

1. You need to do follow to setup workflow :

Create Connectors

Import Roles from SAP system ( connector created above ) / or upload from file.

Create number range

Create Priority

setup Datasource

Setup Authentication

Setup Security lead approver.

Setup SMTP server

Setup Support details

Create initiator

Create stages

Create Path

Setup Risk Analysis .

These are basic essential steps to start WF .

Rest all depends on whether you have to use that particular functionality or not . They are not mandatory essential configurations. They r just peanut butter to make your AE bread taste better but not once without which you can use AE.

2.And also I guess its imperative that I do the field mapping for LDAP , if not I wont be able to search for users etc.

Answer: If you are going to use LDAP as authentication system and User data source then you are required to do this mapping otherwise for SAP , SAP Hr and SAP UME , this step can be skipped.

3.unable to import the file for business process ( for role attributes) it says action failed ,Iam forced import as I cannot return any value if I make a search on role approver ( I guess this is coz LDAP mapping is not done yet) configured LDAP as data source.

Answer: Make sure you have consistant naming of business process/subprocess /functional area ) in AE and same exists in the upload file . The names are case sensitive , the names in description fields must match as well.

4. when I click on request access it asks me to log in and my authetication is failing , I tied network Password and access controls password too but still I wouldnt get in

Answer : If you are using SAP UME , SAP HR , SAP system in your authentication , it wud ask you to login . End user verification is required for these systems . You can avoid this for LDAP , by unselecting the check box : end user verification required in authentication tab.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Venky and Jasmin thanks to both of you for the pointers you have given me !!!

Jasmine & Venky

I have followed the config guide sequence of configuration ( pre work flow)

I have not imported the roles yet

and I have LDAP down as both data source and authetication system and I have unticked the authertication box

but now when I try to click on the request access I am asked to just put in the login ID( no password) and still it says user credentials not valid and it says ''use networkID to login'' but it wouldnt take it.

I think it wont let me create request until the LDAP mapping is done.

I am still not able to import the Business process template , I have made sure that i filled the fields very carefully

Hi Keith,

1. a. Import the AE roles from the installation file to LDAP (i.e. Authentication System)

b. Assign AEadmin role to an admin user, as this user will be used in future configuration.

2. In order to get results when you search for the users, you should add one system as 'Search Data Source'.

Login as an administrator> Goto Configuration>Click on User Data Source>Select Data source Type as LDAP> For System Name, select the System name from the dropdown available.

If your Data Source Type is LDAP, you should do LDAP mapping to get results.

Now CUP takes the system into consideration when you search for the users.

3. This can be because of more than one reason like length of the data, not populating the required fields. For searching purposes you need to have LDAP mapping done.

4. Make sure that you are entering the same user name that exists in the Authentication system you gave.

Authentication System's information can be found from this path:

Login as an Administrator> Click on Configuration Tab> Click on Authentication-->Check the values Authentication System, System Name and User Authentication.

LDAP mapping is required for this also.

Regards,

Venky.
