SAP Enterprise Portal

The SAP Enterprise Portal adapter is defined in the com.waveset.adapter.SAPPortalResourceAdapter class.

Identity Manager Installation Notes

The SAP Enterprise Portal adapter does not require any additional installation procedures.

Resource Configuration Notes

The idmservice.par portal archive file must be deployed onto the SAP Enterprise Portal. The idmservice.par file can be found in the root folder of the install image.

The portal archive defines the com.sap.portal.prt.soap.IDMService portal service, which is required by the SAP Enterprise Portal adapter. The adapter communicates with the portal service via SOAP calls to manage the objects on the Portal.

A Portal administrator must install the idmservice.par. This is done through the administrative user interface for SAP Enterprise Portal by selecting the idmservice.par as the file to upload.

Usage Notes

The SAP Enterprise Portal adapter accomplishes user provisioning by indirectly using the SAP User Management Engine (UME). The adapter communicates with the Identity Manager portal service. The portal service in turn makes direct UME calls.

To communicate with the Identity Manager service installed on the SAP Portal, the Identity Manager Portal Service Endpoint resource attribute must be configured.

The SAP Portal Administrator and SAP Portal Administrator Password resource attributes define the username and password of an administrator of the SAP Portal.

The Test Configuration button verifies that the endpoint, username, and password are valid by performing a status call on the Identity Manager portal service.
