Accessing LDAP Directory from ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is there an easy posibility to access LDAP Users with their orgnanizational data from ABAP? I also would need to access the roles that are created on the LDAP as it is the general UME.

Thanks and best regards,

Dennis Junker

Hello Dennis,

You can synchronize your data between LDAP and ABAP with certain limitations. For example, passwords cannot be synchronized. Refer to SAP notes:

793191 - FAQ: User master synchronization with LDAP directories

603208 - Passwords during the LDAP user master synchronization

If you are trying to use the LDAP for authenticating SAP users, this is not possible too. Have a look at SAP note 448360. An excerpt:

"...

o Logging on to the SAP system

The Application Server ABAP does not support the direct use of

the directory to authenticate a user.

..."

But you could use the LDAP to authenticate your users via portal.

Regards,

Désiré

Yes, see the [LDAP Connector|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/48/74040175bb501ae10000000a42189b/frameset.htm] documentation.
