Enterprise Portal - MDM - LDAP integration

[Former Member]

We are succesfully able to integrate Portal to MDM with a trusted connection and with portal users existing in LDAP and mdm users existing in MDM console.

We also successfully integrated MDM with LDAP so that we dont have to store users in console, but manage them in LDAP. But once we did the LDAP integration, portal to MDM connection was lost saying mdm user details could not be retrieved.

Has anybody faced this issue? what key steps to taken care during MDM-LDAP integration.

Hi goerge,

When ever we integrate MDM with LDAP, we need to make a setting in MDS.ini file.

Please check the "User Identifier" setting in MDS.ini file.

Typically this should be The name of the LDAP id field which will match the value the user provides as the Username at logon.

Make the entry in MDS.ini like User Identifier = cn or SamAccountName.

If that is done, please verify other parameters corresponding to LDAP in MDS.ini as per the table 91 in Page no 291 in MDM Console referece guide.

Or refer to the SAP note 1635338 for reference which is pointing to same issue.

This should solve your problem.
