Portal User Creation - default to UME and not LDAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using LDAP with writeable configuration. (using dataSourceConfiguration_ads_writeable_db.xml cofiguration file).

When I create a user through portal - by default the user is getting created in LDAP.

Whereas, I would like to set the default to UME. In simple words, when a user is created through the UME console in portal, the user should be created in UME database of the portal (and not in LDAP).

Any users that will need to be created in LDAP will directly be created there.

What setting should I make to achieve this ?

Thank you for reading ...

Hi Patrick,

We really need to use Writeable datasource configuration file - because we update LDAP passwords from portal.

However, we do not want to create users in LDAP through the portal.

So, for creating test users, we would like to create them in UME instead of LDAP.

How can I make the Portal user creation default to UME while using a Writeable datasource configuration file ?

Thank You for your time ...

Hi again

We don't supply an XML file for this scenario but it is possible for you to make modifications to an existing writeable LDAP XML file

See [Customizing a UME Data Source Configuration|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b7/14d43f2dd44821e10000000a1550b0/content.htm].

Moving the user, account, and group principal from the LDAP "homefor" section, to the DB "homefor" section will mean that newly created principals are created in the DB, while since a writeable file such as dataSourceConfiguration_ads_deep_writeable_db.xml has been edited the users will still be able to change their LDAP passwords

Hi Jaya

If you change to the read-only datasource XML file for ADS, users will be created in the DB when the Identity Management console is used

dataSourceConfiguration_ads_readonly_db.xml

You can use the documentation here
