User logon UME altough LDAP/AD as External data source

[nthsol]

Hey experts,
I've got the current Situation that my AS Java (NetWeaver 7.5) has an LDAP/AD configured as external data source for users. This works fine as Long as I want to logon with my user from LDAP (Domain user).

Now I want to Log-on as a user from the UME (local) user storage.

As far as I remember there was some Kind of Option to disable spengo if this is configured, by adding "?spnego=disabled" to the end of the URL I am calling. I have been trying this with the NW 7.5 Java but I'm allways logged-in as Domain user.

Is there anything I have been missing or doing wrong?

I would be very happy for any hints on how to logon with a specific user ignoring the users from external userstore.

Dear Niklas,

Fisrstly you need to logout from all sessions that you opened before.

Then with a brand new browser session you can disable SPNego authentication by adding the spnego=disabled request parameter to the administrative UI:

http:\\<host>:<port>\my_app?spnego=disabled

This should not affect other users who rely on spnego authentication.

After it a logon screen should appear and you can login with the database only user.

Thanks for your answer.

After doing a Little more Research on my Client PC I found out that I got some massive issues with closing and deletin all my Cookies in IE, I'm working in a big Company with many GroupPolicy-Rules.

After trying it with a "Admin-free" browser like Firefox it works perfectly 🙂
