user-role mapping in web.xml

[Former Member]

Hi all,

    in the tomcat, I can map users to roles using the <tomcat-users/> element, I didn't find something similar in the web.xml in the netweaver studio. How can I achieve this? I even don't see how to create a user/password pair.

thanks and Regards,

Hello Tom,

Benny is right, you can do those settings in the Application Server.

There is also a way to do it in the IDE.

If it is an EJB project, go to the assembly project which includes the EJB, open its node, double-click on the ejb-jar.xml, drill in the upper right window of the IDE to your EJB and open its node. Now you can select different folders and get the possibility to enter roles, map those to users and so on.

If you are working on a Web-Project you should have somewhere a node called web-j2ee-engine.xml or similar. Here you can do the same things around roles and users as described above for EJBs.

Hi Ivo,

Just a question - can you give me some guidelines how can we design our roles in our J2EE applications so we can after that easily map them to the UME roles. I couldn't find information about the predefined roles in UME and how these can be used.

Hi Tom,

This is not work of the Netweaver studio. If you check in your sap directory tree, you will find the /admin directory, that contains a go.bat file. This will start the Administrator GUI. From there on I guess you need to heavily use tha manuals.

To define such on the application side, this works as usual with the web.xml.
