Hi,

First question to answer is: what is the user source of your Portal :

ABAP source ?

LDAP of some sort ?

UME of the Portal ?

If it is an ABAP backend that serves as user source then the answer simply is to create an ABAP user in this backend.

Another way is to create a user in the UME.

--> develop a little service on the Portal using UserManagement API, expose it as a Web Service that you would call from ABAP

Check this for reference:
