Mapping Users in Table USREXTIDLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Use this procedure to map users of the ABAP service provider to the external user IDs sent by a SAML 2.0 identity provider in the chosen name ID format. On the Name ID Management tab, you can set mappings for single users for most name ID formats. For more information, see SAP Note 1362866 Information published on SAP site.

Prerequisites
  • You have agreed the name ID format you are using and what the resulting name ID looks like for your users with the administrator of the identity provider.

  • If you mass configure user mappings, you have determined what common factor to use to create the external ID. You can choose from the following:

    • User ID

    • Logon alias

    • A value determined by a custom BAdI

      You must create your own BAdI. SAP provides the BAdI USREXTIDMAPPING as an example of an implementation of this type.

      • For unspecified, add a prefix using the pattern <trusted_provider>: <name_qualifier>:.
