Integrating Documents from a Windows System into KM

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I need to integrate a windows share folder to our KM, and I followed the sap instructions ( Integrating Documents from a Windows System into KM - Knowledge Management - SAP Library).

In particulary we need to have two different kind of access to that folder, one with read permission and one with FullControl

  1. We created a new share folder and we set User1 (read permission) and User2 (Full Control)
  2. In SAP EP we created a System Administrator > System Configuration > Content Management > Global Services > Network Path with the sharing path and User1 credential.
  3. Under System Administrator > System Configuration > Content Management > Global Services > System Landscape Definitions > Systems > Windows system we created a new system called mySystem
  4. Under System Administrator > System Configuration > System Landscape we create a new Km Windows System with alias mySystem.
  5. Under System Administrator > System Configuration > Content Management > Repository Managers > File System Repository we create a new file system with:
    • Root directory = as declared in Network Path configuration
    • Security Mager = W2kSecurityManager
    • Windows Landscape System = "mySystem" (as configured as alias into System Landscape)
  6. As last step I mapped my user with User2 credential.

Results:

I found my share folder into KM but I have just read permission as User1 (used into Network Path).

Why if my user is mapped with User2 credential??

Am I missing smoething??

Thanks and Best Regards,

AT

The network path gets mounted with the credentials you provide. You can restrict further the permissions but not elevate them.

Thanks Samuli for your answer,

I tryed to invert the configuration, I set User2 (Full Control) in Network Path and User1 (Read-only) in the user mapping of my user.

The result is that I can access to the KM File system but I can also create contents (as User2 permission). So seems that the mapping isn't working and my user inherits the permission by Network Path configuration..

How can I make the User Mapping works??

Thanks and Best Regards.

There are several possible reasons, start by checking SAP note 615479. I chose to implement the local security manager (AclSecurityManager) instead and setup permissions in KM because of the multiple requirements with user mapping.
