Configuring EP UME with LDAP Data Source 

Purpose

The portal uses the User Management Engine (UME) for managing users. The UME supports various data sources for storing user information such as the AS-ABAP database, the AS-Java database, or an LDAP directory server.

In this process, you will set up your portal and the UME to use an LDAP server as the data source for user information.

To set up an LDAP directory server as the data source for the UME, you first have to install EP using the AS-Java database as the user store. After the installation, you will switch the data source to an LDAP directory server.

Process Flow

...

       1.      Install EP using the database as the UME data source.

       2.      Switch the database data source to LDAP.

       3.      Enter the connection data for the LDAP server.

       4.      Verify the connection data.

       5.      Select the location of default users and groups.

       6.      Restart all cluster nodes.

       7.      Configure SSL between the UME and the LDAP server (optional).

Result

The portal uses the LDAP directory server as the user data source.
