    Implementing External facing portal 7.3 ABAP + LDAP

    Hello gyz,

     

    I have a clarification . we are planning to implement a portal which will have an ABAP ume . The ABAP UME will be integrated into LDAP.

    This portal will be further allowed access through the Internet for ess access using web dispatcher 7.2 as a reverse proxy.

     

    Now There are going to be a certain set of users who will not have access to LDAP but would need access to the portal via the internet.

     

    The questions i have are :

     

    1. will the ldap users be able to login into the portal via internet by providing their AD user id and password or do they have to provide their sap id and pass

    2. Incase the users are able to enter the portal via internet using ldap id and pass , how to we get the users who do not have ldap id's access to the internet.

     

    Basically what im trying to ask his how do we enable both these sets of users access via the internet.One set of people will enter their LDAP user id and password where as the other set of users will enter their SAP user id and password.

     

    Thanks & Appreciate any guidance

      Hi,

      To support both LDAP and ABAP user authentication, you need to configure two login modules in the ticket auth stack in visual administrator. The BasicPasswordLoginModule will be used to authenticate users who have an ABAP user and password. You then need a login module which will authenticate the user using Active Directory account and password. The SAP product does not include such a login module since SAP have assumed you will be using one or the other and not both methods of authentication. The only way SAP software supports using LDAP is if you configure UME and make the UME authentication use LDAP, which means that BasicPasswordLoginModule will then be used for LDAP, and cannot be used for ABAP authentication...

      The solution is to use a third party product that includes a login module for authentication with Active Directory. One such product can be found at <removed by moderator>

      Thanks,

      Tim
