removing LDAP group

[Former Member]

Hi,

i've got a little problem witch i cant handle, after hours spent on searching the web i decided to ask here for help.

SAP BO 4.1 sp4 installation.

One day one of administrators configured LDAP, and created some groups from that ldap (it was his private LDAP, standing under his desk). The LDAP is now disabled and its configuration is unknown.

How to remove that groups from BO? (when group is clicked with right button there is no option to 'DELETE' - its not even gray, there is no such option).

In order to delete user groups, LDAP Host need to active. Then only Delete option will allow you to delete user groups.

It means, that if that LDAP is disabled and will never be active again, i should do what? Reinstall SAP?

Hi,

I dont have an environment to test this solution but i think re-registering of secLDAP.dll might help.

And how to do that?

You can follow setps from KB:http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1186759

I would recommend you to use this as your last resort and after you have backed up your server

Steps to follow:

1) Run steps from KB 118679 to unregister the secLDAP.dll

2) See if it allows you to delete groups now else try hitting the update button in LDAP configuration page (where you map groups) and see if it deletes the mapped groups.

3) If it works : re-register the secLDAP.dll using Regsvr32 secldap.dll in cmd. (same steps as in the KB but without /u)

Let me know if it helps

Thanks Negranda for your answer.

I had problem with that registration of dll's - some libraries were missing on the server. Fortunately after some time we manager to connect to that old LDAP, and afterwards it was easy to remove those groups.

I just want to add, that i can't now configure companys ldap because of this. When trying to configurde ldap i get message that these groups (from private LDAP) cant be found on ldap and wizard won't finish configuration.

as i've written earlier i cant configure ldap. it looks like this

i know how to configure it (it works on dev environment, where there are no groups from other ldap), but here i can't do it, because wizard cant find problematic groups in company's ldap.
