User Management
User management for the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI) uses the mechanisms provided with the SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java, for example, tools, user types, and password policies. For an overview of how these mechanisms apply to the NWDI, see the sections below. In addition, we provide a list of the standard users required for operating the NWDI.
●
The Design Time
Repository (DTR), the Component Build Service (CBS), and the Change Management
Service (CMS) use the User Management Engine (UME) for their user management
tasks. For more information, see
Authorizations in
Design Time Repository.
● The System Landscape Directory (SLD) and the Name Server use the user management functions configured in the AS Java.
The standard user management setting in the AS Java is UME, that is, both components use the same user management functions.
The tool you can
use for user management and user administration with the NWDI is the
User Management
Engine
It is often necessary to specify different security policies for different types of users. For example, your policy may specify that individual users who perform tasks interactively have to change their passwords on a regular basis, but not those users under which background processing jobs run.
For more information about user types, see User Types in the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Security Guide.
The table below shows the standard users that are necessary for operating the NWDI. Once the NWDI configuration is done, it is no longer necessary to maintain the security roles and groups, you simply have to use the ones that are already created and configured.
