Entering external user identifiers for an SAP user account

External authentication methods for logging in to a system can be used in SAP R/3. With One Identity Manager, you can maintain login data for logging in external system users, for example, Active Directory on an SAP R/3 environment.

You can use One Identity Manager to enter external user IDs and delete them. You can only change the option "Account is enabled" for existing user ID's.

To enter external IDs

  1. Select the SAP R/3 > External IDs category.
  2. Select the external identifier in the result list. Select the Change main data task.

    - OR -

    Click in the result list.

  3. Enter the required data on the main data form.

Enter the following data for an external identifier.

Table 54: External ID properties
Property Description
External user ID

User login name for the user to log into external systems. The syntax you require depends on the type of authentication selected. The complete user identifier is compiled by template.

NOTE: The BAPI One Identity Manager uses the default settings RSUSREXT for generating the user identifier, which means that the user name is reset. The value provided in the interface is passed as prefix.

If you SAP R/3 environment uses something other than these default settings, modify the template for column SAPUserExtId.EXTID respectively.

External identifier type

Authentication type for the external user. This results in the syntax for the external identifier.

Table 55: External identifier types

Distinguished Name for X.509

Windows NTLM or password verification

SAML token Authentication uses an SAML token profile.

The default type is specified in the "TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts | ExtID_Type" configuration parameter.

Target system type Can be called up together with the external ID type to test the login data. The default type is specified in the "TargetSystem | SAPR3 | Accounts | TargetSystemID" configuration parameter. Permitted values are ADSACCOUNT and NTACCOUNT.

SAP groups, SAP roles, and SAP profiles

Groups, roles, and profiles are mapped in the One Identity Manager, in order to provide the necessary permissions for user accounts. Groups, roles, and profiles can be assigned to user accounts, requested, or inherited through hierarchical roles in One Identity Manager. No groups, roles, or profiles can be added or deleted.

Groups

You can share maintenance of user accounts over different administrators by assigning user accounts to groups.

Roles

A role includes all transactions and user menus that an SAP user requires to fulfill its tasks. Roles are separated into single and composite roles. Single roles can be grouped together into composite roles. User account member in the roles can be set for a limit period.

Profiles

Access permissions to the system are regulated though profiles. Profiles are assigned through single roles or directly to user accounts. Profiles can be grouped into composite profiles.
