You can connect SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search to a central LDAP directory that is located in the customer landscape.

Perform the following steps to synchronize the AS-ABAP repository with the LDAP directory:

  1. Use transaction LDAP to configure and manage information that is required when using the LDAP connector. See sections Requirements and Activities.
  2. To be able to use the user data in the customer#s LDAP directory in SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search, you need to map the SAP data fields to attributes of the LDAP directory services. For more information, see Mapping the SAP Data Fields to Directory Attributes in the administration documentation of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search.
  3. Synchronize the ABAP user store and the LDAP directory. For more information, see Synchronizing the ABAP User Store and the LDAP Directory in the administration documentation of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search.

Activities

You are on the screen for transaction LDAP.

  1. Choose LDAP Servers and create a new entry for an LDAP server. In the System Logon field, enter the previously configured system user.
  2. Open transaction LDAP again and in the Server field, select the LDAP server that you created in the previous step.
  3. Enter the previously configured LDAP connector in the Connector field.
  4. In the Operations area, choose Log On to log on using the system user you defined previously. The status flag must be green.

Next perform the following steps:

  • Map the SAP data fields to directory attributes. For more information, see Mapping the SAP Data Fields to Directory Attributes in the administration documentation of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search.
  • Synchronize the ABAP user store and the LDAP directory. For more information, see Synchronizing the ABAP User Store and the LDAP Directory in the administration documentation of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search.
