We have just recently moved over to SAP IDM and have been told to no longer user AD. Now i find this a little difficult having used AD for so many years but nevertheless we gave it a go.
Firstly the system is slow and according to SAP the ability to copy a current AD account from within IDM is not available which is a pain as when creating new accounts in IDM we have to manually add security groups which is a pain when some user have over 50.
Please can someone tell me if there is a way around this??????
Hi Alex,
There are a couple of ways you could tackle this. The first is to look at the RDS offering from SAP which I believe includes the ability to copy a user. A better approach would be to build a role model where you group the AD groups together and then you can assign the role to the users instead. Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Alex,
From what I understand, you want to move already created users from AD to IDM.
One way to do that is to connect AD and IDM and to make an initial upload from AD to temporary table and from the temporary table to IDM. The way to do that is:
1. Create Repository to connect with Active Directory
2. Create Job in Job Folder to read user from AD(here you need 3-pass-s 😞
3. Create second job in Job Folret (here you need only one pass to write to Idetity Store)

Hi Alex,
From what I gather, you were using AD to create users in the Past. With IdM now replacing AD, you have to create users from IdM. I understand that there is no standard functionality in IdM to copy an existing user to a new users.
Are you looking to copy User/Identity within IdM ?
You can have a look at this blog which explains how to copy roles/privileges from one user to a new user (which has been already created in IdM). You would have to do something similar.
