Component documentation User Management Engine  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

The portal uses the user management engine (UME) to enable integration of the portal with a existing LDAP or user management solution. The UME is used by the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java.

This document describes how to develop customized applications with the UME provided by the AS Java and the portal.

From the application point-of-view, the UME provides three main functions:

●      Authentication: Which user is logged in

●      Authorization: What the user is allowed to do

●      Profile: Details of user like user name, address and so on

For more information, see Identity Management.
