Creating a User in AS Java for Basic Authentication 

Use

This user is required for the secure communication between the Web Dynpro for Java application and the Java system where the Adobe document services are installed.

You can create this user in the AS Java or in the AS ABAP depending on the 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.

Prerequisites

You need to log on to the configuration tool with administrative privileges.

Procedure

To create a user in AS Java and assign the SAP_ADSCALLER role:

...

       1.      Navigate to http://<server>:<port>/useradmin to start the User Management.

<server> is the AS Java that hosts the Adobe document services and <port> is the HTTP port of the AS Java.

       2.      On the Identity Management tab search for Group..

       3.      Choose Create Group to create a group called ADSCallers and enter the required data.

       4.      Then search for User.

       5.      Choose Create User and enter ADSuser for the user name. Type a password. You need to confirm the password.

       6.      Under Security Policy choose Technical User.

If you choose Technical User, the password won’t expire.

       7.      Go to the Assigned Roles tab. In Available Roles, search for the role SAP_ADSCALLER and press Add to assign it to the user ADSuser.  

The SAP_ADSCALLER role was created when your system was installed. You should not assign this role to users other than the user that you will use for accessing Adobe document services.

       8.      Save your changes.

       9.      Continue with Setting Up Basic Authentication in a Java Environment.
