Authenticate users to production portal system

[Former Member]

At this new installation, portal wants to import roles/users from the production portal system, not prod BW. Wonu2019t that cause errors for connections with u201Cuse SSO when refreshing reports at view timeu201D? Note, we havenu2019t set up SNC yet.

Environment:

BOE XI 3.1 SP2

Solaris

NetWeaver Application Server

SAP Kit

Thanks Seb. It looks like you can import roles from a nonBW system. ... maybe as long as you've got the transports.

Yesterday BASIS successfully entitled the prod entriprise portal system, imported roles and users into CMC. These users - like PEP~123/user - errored last night with

"The SAP SSO authentication process will fail because the current user doesn't have an alias that matches system DBWCLNT111.. (WIS 10901)"

... when I changed a DBW~111 connection to u201Cuse SSO when refreshing reports at view time"

BOE doesn't have DBW_{111 users. If I did have roles/users from DBW}111, BOE would think them different users than PEP~123 users. Trying to alias them together (can't w/o Enterprise id or similar) one id at a time is a bad path to go down.

I'm not sure SNC will overcome. ... like passing the id without the system qualifier. Anybody know?

Hi Clay,

you can import roles from an ABAP based app server (ERP, BW) but not from UME from the portal at this point in time.

You can import users from an EP system that uses the ABAP stack as its user store.

Has anyone seen and resolved the errors described here by Clay?

HI,

- does the entitlement system still exist in BOE / CMC ?

- can you remove / import / remove roles ?

- can you logon to InfoView with SAP credentials ?

You mentioned SNC - are you using SNC with BusinessObjects Enterprise ?

Hello,
