Purpose

SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java uses the user management engine (UME) to enable integration with an existing LDAP directory or user management of AS ABAP.

This document describes how to develop customized applications with the UME that is provided by the AS Java.

From the application point-of-view, the UME provides the following main functions:

·        Authentication: Which user is logged in

●      Authorization: What the user is allowed to do

●      Profile: Details of user like user name, address and so on

For more information about the authentication concept, see Identity Management of the Application Server Java in the AS Java documentation.

More Information

The UME API is described in detail in the Java Docs on the SAP Developer Network at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/javadocs. Under Web Application Server APIs, choose Security.

You can find the APIs in the tc~je~usermanagement~api facade.
