Enabling UME to Support a Multitenant Portal 

Use

By default, the User Management Engine (UME) does not support a multitenant portal environment. This topic describes how to activate UME support for multitenancy in the portal.

You only need to perform this procedure once. It is valid for all tenants in your multitenant portal.

For general information about setting UME properties, see Editing UME Properties. See also Config Tool.

 

Procedure

...

       1.      In the J2EE Config Tool, do the following:

                            a.      Switch the editor to configuration editor mode.

                            b.      Switch to edit mode.

                            c.      In the Display configuration tab, browse to the following:

cluster_data ® server ® cfg ® services ® Propertysheet com.sap.security.core.ume.service

       2.      Set the ume.logon.r3master.adapterid property to the default value, master.

If the UME property ume.logon.r3master.adapterid has a value other than master, no new tenants can be created and existing tenants will be disabled.

       3.      Set the ume.multi_tenancy_support_enabled property to true.

§         Do not set this property to true if ume.logon.r3master.adapterid has not been set to master.

§         Once you have activated the ume.multi_tenancy_support_enabled flag and have already created a tenant in the portal, do not revert either of the two properties to their previous value. Doing so may cause certain applications and user assignments in the portal to become irreversibly unstable.

       4.      Restart the portal.
