Use

In this activity you can configure user management in the portal.

You need to make several settings for user management in the portal to enable single sign-on between the BW system and the portal. The SAP reference system is required for communication of the BEx tools in the portal.

The login.ticket_client parameter only needs to be maintained if multiple portals with the same system ID are connected. However, we recommend that you install the portals with different system IDs.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

Perform the following steps to configure user management in the portal:

  1. Log on to the portal.
  2. Start the iView System Administration -> System Configuration -> Configuration for User Management.
  3. Choose the Security Settings tab page.
  4. Under SAP Reference System, enter the system alias of the BW system (refer to Creating a BW System in the Portal). You must enter the default system alias of the BW system.

    Only one system can be specified as the SAP reference system. The SAP reference system does not have to be the BW system. However, if it is not the BW system, the technical user name of the BW system has to be identical to the technical user name of the SAP reference system.

  5. Save your entries.

If you want to connect multiple portals with the same system ID to a BW system, you have to maintain the login.ticket_client parameter:

  1. Start SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
  2. Use the default database settings.
  3. Choose Cluster Data -> Global Server Configuration -> Services -> com.sap.security.core.ume.service.
  4. Under Global Properties, change the login.ticket_client=<CLIENT> global property.

    You can select any value between 000 and 999 as the <CLIENT>. The client is required if multiple portals with identical portal SIDs are connected. You have to enter the client later when you import the portal certificate to the BW system.

  5. Save your entries.

You must restart the Application Server Java with the portal after changing user management in the portal.
