Configuration of User Management in the
Portal
Purpose
This process describes the minimum configuration options for the user management engine (UME) in the SAP NetWeaver Portal.
Process Flow
...
1. Log on to the portal with a super administrator user. The logon ID and password of the super administrator user depends on how you configured user management during installation.
For more
information, see
Standard
Users.
For example, if you configured the UME to use the database of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java as the data source, you log on with the user Administrator and the password you defined during the installation.
If the following is true:
● You have just finished installing the portal.
● You are using an ABAP data source.
● The J2EE administrators group (a PFCG role in the ABAP system) is not called SAP_J2EE_ADMIN.
● You intend to share roles between the portal and ABAP system.
Then the system does not automatically assign this group the portal Super Administrationrole. Log on as the administrator (for example, J2EE_ADMIN) and assign the J2EE administrator group the portal Super Administration role.

information about role assignment, see
Assigning Principals
to Roles or Groups.
2. Determine if you want to change the data source of the UME to an LDAP directory.
This option is only available if you installed the AS Java with the database as the data source.
For more
information, see
Configuring the UME to
Use an LDAP Directory as Data Source.
3. Make sure that a role is assigned to the default group Everyone. If this group does not have a role assigned to it, we recommend that you assign the role with the following ID: pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/eu_role.
This group must have a role assigned to it, or some users may not have a role assigned to them and, as a result, see a blank page when they log on to the portal.
4. Perform any other configuration tasks for the UME.

Management.
