Hi,
we are trying to implement sso for sap r/34.7 X200( using SAP GUI for windows).Our vision is,when a user enters his NT login he should be authenticated against the Novell Edirectory
Any suggestion on how to implement this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Uma
I have scoured the web for a solution and no where seem to have a solution to what I require. I would like to know if anyone have solved this problem and how it was resolved. What authentication protocol did you use or did you have to develope one yourself?
Cheers.
Dear Experts,
I am getting an Portal Runtime Exception while trying to publish a RFx.
The exception says "javax.naming.InvalidNameException: Character not allowed ':' in ':' " and "com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntimeException : Unexpected error - Unable to get iView"
When i refresh the same error page this is displayed.
I have checked all business packages relating to SRM present in portal.
We are implementing SRM 7.0 EHP 3 and portal 7.4.
Please find attachment for detailed explanation about this error.
I have also shared a document that gives brief idea about this error.
Please suggest to solve this issue.
Awaiting for your response.
Thanks and regards,
Padmavati Iyer.
Hi all,
I saw that starting from NW SP15, the kerberos authentication for SSO on the Enterprise Portal is suggested instead of NTLM authentication with IISproxy using Windows AD as user repository.
Now I have to investigate the possibility to achieve Enterprise Portal authentication in SSO against a Novell infrastructure.
On my network users authenticates themselves using UserID/password stored in Novell eDirectory repository. I wonder if SAP certifies the SSO kerberos authentication also on the Novell environment and what are the requirements in terms of needed software pieces on Novell side (ex NMAS) and network infrastructure (Windows, Netware, other).
Briefly I'd like to know:
- Is there the possibility to achieve SSO authentication for EP if using Novell eDirectory? Is it a SAP certified solution? Is it supported for production sites? Are there available papers on configuration activities to be done?
- Is the kerberos authentication the right way to achieve this?
I'd like to add another piece of complexity. In reality I have a complicated network where a group of users (belonging to a company division) authenticates on a Novell realm using eDirectory, and a second group of users (belonging to another company division) authenticates on a standard Windows AD. The new interesting question is:
- Can the EP SSO be configured with kerberos authentication using a multiple realms configurated in a priority list? I'd like to have to possibility to configure a list of KDC to be contacted on cascade one after the other to authenticate login requests.I gave a look to the WAS J2EE krb5.conf file and it seems that nothing prevent to configure the J2EE engine to configure multiple kerberos realm. I just wonder if it is supported.
If some SAP EP gurus could give an answer I would really appreciate VERY much.
Thank you,
Giampietro.
Hi,
I am working on a portal application that personalize's iView property via APIs. The code snippet I am using is as follows:
import java.util.Hashtable;
import com.sap.portal.directory.Constants;
import com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.IAdminBase;
import com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.IAttributeSet;
import com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.PcmConstants;
import com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.IPcdContext;
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, IPcdContext.PCD_INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
env.put(Constants.REQUESTED_ASPECT, PcmConstants.ASPECT_ADMINISTRATION);
IPcdContext pcdContext = (IPcdContext) new com.sapportals.portal.prt.jndisupport.InitialContext(env).lookup("");
IAdminBase adminBase = (IAdminBase)pcdContext.lookup(path_to_iView);
IAttributeSet attrSet = (IAttributeSet)adminBase.getImplementation(IAdminBase.ATTRIBUTE_SET);
attrSet.putAttribute("com.sap.portal.pcm.Title", Locale.ENGLISH ,title);
attrSet.save();I have added the following JARs specific to the above code:
com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.apiservice_api.jar
gl_api.jar
prtjndisupport.jar
tc~epbc~pcm~adminapi~java.jar
In SharingReference of portalapp.xml I have added the entries com.sap.portal.pcd.glservice, com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.apiservice, com.sap.portal.ivs.connectorservice, com.sap.portal.navigation.api_service
At runtime when I execute the application I get the following exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.sapportals.portal.pcd.gl.PcdGlContext:com.sapportals.portal.prt.util.ApplicationClassLoader@44d2247a@com.sapportals.portal.prt.util.ApplicationClassLoader@44d2247a(D:\usr\sap\TT1\JC01\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.pcd.glservice\private\lib\com.sap.portal.pcd.glservice_core.jar;D:\usr\sap\TT1\JC01\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.pcd.glservice\private\lib\concurrency.jar;D:\usr\sap\TT1\JC01\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.portal.pcd.glservice\private\lib\gl_core.jar;) incompatible with interface com.sap.portal.pcm.admin.IAdminBase:com.sap.engine.core.service630.container.ComponentClassLoader@52fe21c2@library:tc~epbc~pcm~adminapi~java
This occurs at line 12 in the code above.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

After installing the lastest patches for WDRuntime, AJAX-Runtime and FRAMEWORK on our EP 7.40 SP11, the Webdynpro Java iViews use the tradeshow_plus theme on com.sap.ui.lightspeed instead of the standard themes on com.sap.portal. design.portaldesigndata. What is causing that and how can that be changed ?
SCN,
We're rolling out IE11 enterprise-wide in the coming months. Unfortunately, EP does not fully support modern browsers and cannot render BOE iViews. Other than launching them in a new window, has anyone figured out a clever fix?
If not a fix to render them in the Portal content area, has anyone been able to launch a Portal subset with a modern framework and some navigation? Launching dozens of BOE dashboards in new windows sounds like a usability nightmare...
Thanks,
Sawyer
Hi,
In my origination we were using SAP EP(ESS portal for HR) , when I try to open few applications like time correction approve ,system through
this error.
Hi experts,
I'm creating an application where I have to get the INavigationNode and their propertes from the portal content. I'm able to get the all the parent nodes and their children.
For children nodes, which are pages or iviews, I'm able to get the properties by using :for e.g.
String createdBy = (String) node.getAttributeValue("com.sap.portal.pcd.unit.CreatedBy").
But for parent nodes, which are worksets, I'm getting an exception "javax.naming.directory.NoSuchAttributeException: NoSuchAttributeException is thrown from the CacheNavigationConnectorNode" for the same property.
Can you please tell how to overcome the exception or any workaround for retrieveing the properties of the parent nodes??
Thanks & Regards,

Hi All
Is there a way to add a Title Text to the Fiori Framework Page's header bar, something like this
Is there any configurable property available in the Framework?

Hi all,
I have deployed a JRA (Java resource adapter) via an EAR file - this includes the relevant JAR files.
From my portal application, I am using a JNDI lookup to successfully get a connection from the connection factory created by doing the above.
Within my portal application, I am trying to use the relevant implementation classes - these are the same classes that live in the JRA.
I receive the following issue:
java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast class com.attunity.adapter.AttuInteractionSpec to class com.attunity.adapter.core.CoreInteractionSpec (found matching super class com.attunity.adapter.core.CoreInteractionSpec loaded by bp.com/<dc-name>@com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader@36ece5f3@alive, but needed loader JavaEE/<different-dc-name>@com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader@12478ec1@alive
I am able to navigate this error by forcing the same classLoader.
ClassLoader classLoader = interaction.getClass().getClassLoader();
Class<?> clazz = classLoader.loadClass("com.attunity.adapter.AttuInteractionSpec");
Constructor constructor = clazz.getConstructor(String.class);
Object interactionSpec = constructor.newInstance("functionname");
This is obviously not ideal, and results in the same issue, in reverse, when I try and deal with the returned data (using Attunity classes). I can again navigate this issue using reflection - but this gets messy.
I have tried using a PrivateSharingReference to 'com.attunity.adapter' - which stops the application from starting up, as it expects the classes to live under SAPPORTAL/com.attunity.adapter. I've also tried creating a PrivateSharingReference to the container EAR file of the JRA (<propertyname="PrivateSharingReference"value="SAPJ2EE::bp.com/<application-name>"/> )- this doesn't throw any errors but also results in the same class loader issue.
Am I missing something?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to disable Filter and Variable data after clicking on the print version in a BW report in Portal. The print version is expected to carry only the report output only. Do we have any settings to configure the "Print Version" in BW or Portal.
Please advise.

Hi Experts,
Please let us the know approximate effort required for installation and implementation for New Enterprise Portal implementation.
1) Installation and configuration
2) Implementation
Thanks Thiru
Hello,
I would like to use the Application Configuration Properties for a portal application DC. Those require a sap.application.global.properties file in the META-INF in the root folder of a deployable archive. Thus I created the META-INF folder with the properties file in the root structure of the DC, and I also added the META-INF folder as ressource root.
After deployment I observed that the configuration of the properties is not possible in NWA. To verify the build of the DC is checked the generated SDA file. There I could see that the file sap.application.global.properties is missing:
But I noticed, that within the WAR file of the SDA, there is another META-INF folder, which contains the properties file. However this is the wrong place, as it is not taken into account:
Does someone know, how I can include the properties file into the right place during the build process?
Best regards
Mario
Hi,
In User management an additional Tab Biller Direct has been added. How to read the attributes of that tab. I need to display the data in that tab in a Web Service.
I have tried getAttributes method with args CUSTOM_NAMESPACE, "hr_org". CUSTOM_NAMESPACE is the value which i found in Usermanagemant -> Configuration -> User Admin UI -> Custom attributes of the user profile ->Administrator-Managed Custom Attributes. But nthng is displaying.
Did I do any wrong? Please correct me
Hi Experts,
We are implementing Biller Direct 6.35 in our SAP Netweaver Portal 7.3.
We also have guide to do the same for EP 6.0 and lower version of SAP EP.
We did configurations in xcm as mentioned.
But we couldnt find "com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp" archive to create such system in SAP portal.
So as per suggestions in some blogs we have used AppIntegrator iView template instead.(image iView1 attached)
We have also created/configured http system in system configuration(ie in System Landscape) (image System1 attached)
Provided details required.. And when we open iView we are able to get navigated to login page. But login is getting unsuccessful with message 'Authentication failed'
with giving error in logs.
Kindly request you all to advise on this!
Thanking in advance,
Dhanshree
