UME LDAP Configuration Tool 

Use

The UME LDAP configuration tool simplifies the process of configuring the UME to use an LDAP directory. It allows you to choose a configuration file for configuring the data sources used by the UME, to enter connection data for the LDAP directory, and to test the data you entered. 

Integration

The UME LDAP configuration tool is part of the offline Config Tool of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java.

Features

The configuration tool consists of two tabs. On the Directory Server tab, you can do the following:

●      Choose the configuration file for configuring the data source used by the UME from a list of predefined configuration files or upload a custom data source configuration file.

If you choose a configuration file containing the configuration for an LDAP server, the fields in the configuration tool are enabled and you can enter data. If you choose any other configuration file, you cannot enter data in the configuration tool.

After you have chosen a configuration file, the configuration tool automatically displays any configuration data already defined in the configuration file. This configuration data cannot be overwritten in the LDAP configuration tool.

●      Enter the connection data for an LDAP directory.

●      Browse the LDAP directory to select the path for the user and group data.

●      After entering all the configuration data, you can test that the connection to the LDAP directory works with the data you have entered. You can also simulate a logon to the LDAP directory where you are prompted for the user ID and password of a user in the directory. 

If you have selected SSL, the functions for testing the connection are not available.

On the Additional LDAP Properties tab, all UME properties related to LDAP configuration are displayed. Here you can change more advanced settings. Some of the fields are disabled. This is because the corresponding data comes from the data source configuration file and cannot be changed.  For more information about the LDAP properties, see LDAP Directory Data Source and LDAP Directory: Connection Pooling.
