Configuring CAF Security and Repository Managers

You use the CAF repository manager to provide access to business objects from KM services. You use the CAF security manager to restrict access to the CAF repository based on permissions you set with the CAF authorization tool in the CAF Runtime Configurator.

• You have logged on to the SAP NetWeaver Portal with http://<host>:<port>/irj.
  Note

  Remember to replace<host> and<port> with the machine name of the portal you use.

• You have navigated to System Administration → System Configuration → Knowledge Management → Content Management → Repository Managers.

Creating the CAF Security Manager

1. Go to Security Manager → CAF Security Manager.
2. To create a new CAF security manager, choose New.
3. Enter the following properties:

   Field	Value
   Name	CAFSecurityManager_<AS_Java_machine_name > _ < instance number > Note If CAF and the SAP NetWeaver Portal are installed on the same Application Server (AS) Java instance and the portal is used for this single CAF instance only, you can create a name without the prefix CAFSecurityManager .
   List of invisible business objects	sap.com/caf.core/Document This means that these objects are not available on KM, but in the document or CAF repository.
   URL of CAF Web service	http://<AS_Java_machine_name>:<port>/CAFDataService/Config?style=rpc_enc This parameter should point to the CAF server with the same host, port and protocol settings as in the settings for the CAF repository manager.

4. Save your changes and restart the portal.

   List of templates that are used in display name generation	This defines the display name of a KM resource. Entries in the list are separated by a semicolon. Each entry consists of a name-value pair which contains the fully qualified object name and the template that is used for display name generation. For example: sap.com/caf.tests/Course=Description: "<description>" (created by: "<createdBy>");sap.com/caf.tests/Student=Title: "<title>") For the property value sap.com/caf.tests/Course=Description: "<description>"(created by "<created by>");" a resource name is displayed.
