Creating a User in the SAP NetWeaver AS Java for Basic Authentication 

Use

In some cases the user ADSUser was not created during installation. This user is required for the secure communication between the Web Dynpro application and the Java system where the Adobe document services are installed.

You can create this user in the J2EE Engine or in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP depending on the J2EE installation settings for the SAP User Management Engine (UME). You create this user in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP when the UME is configured against the ABAP backend.
