ERP E-Commerce User Management and SAP NetWeaver Portal 

Purpose

You can run ERP E-Commerce in the SAP NetWeaver Portal. Several Business Packages contain iViews to integrate ERP E-Commerce. You can find information on how to integrate ERP E-Commerce into the portal in the Business Package documentation in the SAP Library.

An important factor in running ERP E-Commerce in the portal is user management. To enable the applications to run together you need to map the users for both applications and also select a logon procedure. In order to provide a seamless integrated user interface between the portal and the E-Commerce application you need to enable Single-Sign-On (SSO) functionality. This means that when the user logs on to the portal he is only requested to verify his credentials at the start, and not for each application that he the proceeds to use within the portal environment. 

The SAP NetWeaver Portal logon procedure is based on the functionality provided by the User Management Engine (UME), which is built into the SAP Web AS Java 6.40 and later versions. The UMEgenerates an SSO ticket when a user logs on to the portal. The SSO ticket is used by the system when a user enters the E-Commerce IView. This means that the users for the portal and the E-Commerce application need to have the same user IDs and the user type for the E-Commerce user is that of SU01 user ID. You set the user type for the E-Commerce user in the Extended Configuration Management (XCM) application for the E-Commerce Web-based User Management tool. For more information on mapping portal and E-Commerce users in UME, see E-Commerce with UME.

The ERP E-Commerce release for ERP 2005 can only be integrated with the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
