SAP Connector

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SAP connector is an implementation of the Scripted Groovy Connector Toolkit that connects to any SAP system using the SAP JCo Java libraries. This chapter describes how to install and configure the scripted SAP connector, and how to test the sample scripts that are bundled with the connector.

The sample scripts illustrate the following scenarios:

  • Synchronization of users between an SAP HR module and IDM

  • Synchronization of users between IDM and an SAP (R/3) system

Before You Start

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

  1. Download the SAP connector from the ForgeRock BackStage download site.

  2. Copy the SAP connector .jar file (sap-connector-1.5.20.12.jar) to the openidm/connectors directory, or to the /path/to/openicf/connectors directory, if you are running the connector remotely. For example:

    cp ~/Downloads/sap-connector-1.5.20.12.jar /path/to/openidm/connectors
  3. The SAP connector requires the SAP Java Connector (JCo) libraries, version 3.0.12 or later. ForgeRock distributes the SAP connector without these JCo libraries. Before you can use the SAP connector, you must obtain the JCo libraries that correspond to your architecture.

    Copy the required SAP JCo libraries to the /path/to/openidm/lib directory. For example:

    cp sapjco3.jar /path/to/openidm/lib
    cp libsapjco3.so /path/to/openidm/lib
  4. Change your IDM logging configuration to log messages from the SAP connector.

    By default, IDM logs nothing for the SAP connector. To troubleshoot any issues with the connector, set the following properties in your project's conf/logging.properties file:

    # SAP Connector Logging
    org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap.level=FINER
    scripts.sap.r3.level=FINER
    scripts.sap.hr.level=FINER
    scripts.sap.level=FINER

Using the SAP Connector With an SAP HR System

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SAP HR sample scripts let you manage the email address and global employee UID of records in an SAP HR system.

The following sections explain how to configure IDM to use these sample scripts, how to test the connection to the SAP HR system, and how to update user records.

Setting up IDM for the SAP HR Samples

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

  1. Create a connector configuration file for the SAP connector and place it in your project's conf/ directory.

    You can use this sample provisioner.openicf-saphr.json as a guide.

    Edit that file with the connection details for your SAP HR system. Specifically, set at least the following properties:

    destination

    An alias to the SAP system to which you are connecting, for example, SAP1. If you are connecting to more than one SAP system, the destination property for each system must be unique.

    The sample connector configuration assumes a connection to a single SAP system, so the value for this property in the sample configuration is OPENIDM.

    asHost

    The FQDN of your SAP Application Server, for example sap.example.com.

    user

    Your SAP user account.

    password

    The password of this SAP user account.

    client

    The SAP Client number that will be used to connect to the SAP system.

    systemNumber

    The SAP system number.

    directConnection

    A boolean (true/false). If true, the connection goes directly to an SAP ABAP Application server or SAP router. If false, the connection goes to a group of SAP instances, through an SAP message server.

    sapRouter

    The IP address and port of the SAP router, if applicable. The syntax is /H/host[/S/port], for example /H/203.0.113.0/S/3299.

    poolCapacity

    The maximum number of idle connections kept open by the destination. If there is no connection pooling, set this to 0. The default value is 1.

    For optimum performance, set this value to an integer between 5 and 10.

  2. The connector bundles a number of SAP-certified sample Groovy scripts:

    TestSAP.groovy
    SearchSAPHR.groovy
    UpdateSAPHR.groovy
    SchemaSAPHR.groovy
    EmplComm.groovy

    If necessary, you can customize these scripts to suit your deployment by extracting them from the connector JAR and updating the connector configuration to point to the new file path.

    The sample connector configuration assumes the following locations for the scripts (relative to the value of the scriptRoots property):

    "testScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/TestSAP.groovy",
    "searchScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/hr/SearchSAPHR.groovy",
    "updateScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/hr/UpdateSAPHR.groovy",
    "schemaScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/hr/SchemaSAPHR.groovy",

    The EmplComm.groovy must be placed in the same location as the Search, Update, and Schema scripts.

    Important

    The Groovy scripts belong to a specific package. The parent directory where the scripts are located must be the same as the package name. So the TestSAP.groovy script must be under a scripts/sap directory (because it belongs to the scripts/sap package) and the remaining HR scripts must be under a scripts/sap/hr directory (because they belong to the hr package).

Testing the Connection to the SAP HR System

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

  1. Start IDM with the configuration for your SAP connector project.

    This procedure assumes that the configuration is in the default path/to/openidm directory. If your SAP project is in a different directory, use the -p option with the startup command to point to that directory:

    path/to/openidm/startup.sh
  2. Test that the connector has been configured correctly and that the SAP HR system can be reached:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request POST \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/?_action=test"
    {
      "name" : "saphr",
      "enabled" : true,
      "config" : "config/provisioner.openicf/saphr2",
      "objectTypes" : [ "__ALL__", "employee" ],
      "connectorRef" : {
        "connectorName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap.SapConnector",
        "bundleName" : "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap-connector",
        "bundleVersion" : "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
      },
      "displayName" : "Sap Connector",
      "ok" : true
    }
  3. Retrieve a list of the existing users (with their employee number) in the SAP HR system:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request GET \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee?_queryId=query-all-ids"
    {
      "result" : [ {
        "_id" : "00000010",
        "__NAME__" : "00000010"
      }, {
        "_id" : "00000069",
        "__NAME__" : "00000069"
      }, {
        "_id" : "00000070",
        "__NAME__" : "00000070"
      },
    ...
  4. Retrieve the complete record of an employee in the SAP HR system by including the employee's ID in the URL.

    The following command retrieves the record for employee Maria Gonzales:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request GET \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
    {
      "_id" : "55099307",
      "PERSONAL_DATA" : {
        "PERNO" : "55099307",
        "INFOTYPE" : "0002",
        "TO_DATE" : "Fri Dec 31 00:00:00 CET 9999",
        "FROM_DATE" : "Tue Mar 30 00:00:00 CET 1954",
        "SEQNO" : "000",
        "CH_ON" : "Thu Mar 27 00:00:00 CET 2003",
        "CHANGED_BY" : "MAYROCK",
        "LAST_NAME" : "Gonzales",
        "FIRSTNAME" : "Maria",
        "NAME_FORM" : "00",
        "FORMOFADR" : "2",
        "GENDER" : "2",
        "BIRTHDATE" : "Tue Mar 30 00:00:00 CET 1954",
        "LANGU" : "D",
        "NO_O_CHLDR" : "0",
        "BIRTHYEAR" : "1954",
        "BIRTHMONTH" : "03",
        "BIRTHDAY" : "30",
        "LASTNAME_M" : "GONZALES",
        "FSTNAME_M" : "MARIA"
      },
    ...
    }

Using the SAP Connector to Manage Employee Information (SAP HR)

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The following sample commands show how the SAP connector is used to manage the email account of user Maria Gonzales, retrieved in the previous step. Management of the global UID (SYS-UNAME) works in the same way.

  1. Check if Maria Gonzales already has an email account on the SAP HR system by filtering a query on her user account for the EMAIL field:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request GET \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307?_fields=EMAIL"
    {
      "_id" : "55099307",
    }

    No email account is found for Maria Gonzales.

  2. Add an email account by sending a PUT request. The JSON payload should include the email address as the value of the ID property:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": { "ID": "maria.gonzales@example.com" }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
    {
      "_id" : "55099307",
      "EMAIL" : [ {
        "EMPLOYEENO" : "55099307",
        "SUBTYPE" : "0010",
        "VALIDEND" : "Fri Dec 31 00:00:00 CET 9999",
        "VALIDBEGIN" : "Fri March 18 00:00:00 CET 2016",
        "RECORDNR" : "000",
        "COMMTYPE" : "0010",
        "NAMEOFCOMMTYPE" : "E-mail",
        "ID" : "Maria.Gonzales@example.com"
      } ],
    ...

    By default, the connector sets the VALIDBEGIN date to the current date, and the VALIDEND date to the SAP "END" date (12/31/9999). You can specify different temporal constraints by including these properties in the JSON payload, with the format YYYYMMDD. For example:

    {
      "EMAIL": {
         "ID": "maria.gonzales@example.com"
         "VALIDBEGIN": "20160401",
         "VALIDEND": "20161231"
      }
    }
  3. To change the value of an existing email account, provide a new value for the ID.

    The JSON payload of the change request must also include the RECORDNR attribute, as well as the VALIDBEGIN and VALIDEND dates, in SAP format (YYYYMMDD).

    The following example changes Maria Gonzales' email address to maria.gonzales-admin@example.com:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": {
         "ID": "maria.gonzales-admin@example.com",
         "RECORDNR" : "000",
         "VALIDEND" : "99991231",
         "VALIDBEGIN" : "20000101"
      }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
  4. To change the temporal constraint (VALIDEND date) of the record, include the existing VALIDEND data in the JSON payload, and specify the new end date as a value of the DELIMIT_DATE attribute.

    The following example changes the end date of Maria Gonzale's new mail address to December 31st, 2016:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": {
         "ID": "maria.gonzales-admin@example.com",
         "RECORDNR" : "000",
         "VALIDEND" : "99991231",
         "VALIDBEGIN" : "20000101",
         "DELIMIT_DATE": "20161231"
      }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"
  5. To delete the email address of the record, send a PUT request with the current RECORDNR, VALIDBEGIN, and VALIDEND attributes, but without the ID.

    The following request removes the email address from Maria Gonzales' record:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --request PUT \
     --data '{
      "EMAIL": {
         "RECORDNR" : "000",
         "VALIDEND" : "99991231",
         "VALIDBEGIN" : "20000101"
      }
     }' \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/saphr/employee/55099307"

Using the SAP Connector to Manage SAP Basis System (R/3) Users

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SAP Connector enables you to perform the following operations on SAP system user accounts:

  • List all users

  • List all activity groups (roles)

  • Manage user profiles

  • List all user companies

  • Obtain a user's details

  • Create a user

  • Update a user

  • Assign roles to a user

  • Lock a user account

  • Unlock a user account

  • Delete a user account

Currently, the SAP connector cannot detect changes on the SAP system in real time. You must run a reconciliation operation to detect changes on the SAP system.

Setting up IDM for the SAP R/3 Samples

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

  1. Create a connector configuration file for the SAP connector and place it in your project's conf/ directory.

    You can use this sample provisioner.openicf-sapr3.json as a guide.

    Edit that file with the connection details for your SAP R/3 system. Specifically, set at least the following properties:

    destination

    An alias to the SAP system to which you are connecting, for example, SAP1. If you are connecting to more than one SAP system, the destination property for each system must be unique.

    The sample connector configuration assumes a connection to a single SAP system, MYSAP.

    asHost

    The FQDN of your SAP Application Server, for example sap.example.com.

    user

    Your SAP user account.

    password

    The password of this SAP user account.

    client

    The SAP Client number that will be used to connect to the SAP system.

    systemNumber

    The SAP system number.

    directConnection

    A boolean (true/false). If true, the connection goes directly to an SAP ABAP Application server or SAP router. If false, the connection goes to a group of SAP instances, through an SAP message server.

    sapRouter

    The IP address and port of the SAP router, if applicable. The syntax is /H/host[/S/port], for example /H/203.0.113.0/S/3299.

    poolCapacity

    The maximum number of idle connections kept open by the destination. If there is no connection pooling, set this to 0. The default value is 1.

    For optimum performance, set this value to an integer between 5 and 10.

  2. The connector bundles a number of SAP-certified sample Groovy scripts:

    TestSAP.groovy
    SearchSAPR3.groovy
    CreateSAPR3.groovy
    UpdateSAPR3.groovy
    DeleteSAPR3.groovy
    SchemaSAPR3.groovy

    If necessary, you can customize these scripts to suit your deployment by extracting them from the connector JAR and updating the connector configuration to point to the new file path.

    The sample connector configuration assumes the following locations for the scripts (relative to the value of the scriptRoots property):

    "testScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/TestSAP.groovy",
    "searchScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/SearchSAPR3.groovy",
    "createScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/CreateSAPR3.groovy",
    "updateScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/UpdateSAPR3.groovy",
    "deleteScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/DeleteSAPR3.groovy",
    "schemaScriptFileName" : "scripts/sap/r3/SchemaSAPR3.groovy",

    Important

    The Groovy scripts belong to a specific package. The parent directory where the scripts are located must be the same as the package name. So the TestSAP.groovy script must be under a scripts/sap directory (because it belongs to the scripts/sap package) and the R/3 scripts must be under a scripts/sap/r3 directory (because they belong to the r3 package).

Testing the Connection to the SAP R/3 System

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

  1. Start IDM with the configuration for your SAP R/3 project.

    This procedure assumes that the configuration is in the default path/to/openidm directory. If your SAP project is in a different directory, use the -p option with the startup command to point to that directory:

    /path/to/openidm/startup.sh
  2. Test that the connector has been configured correctly and that the SAP R/3 system can be reached:

    curl \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
     --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
     --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
     --request POST \
     "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/?_action=test"
    {
      "name": "mysap",
      "enabled": true,
      "config": "config/provisioner.openicf/mysap",
      "objectTypes": [
        "__ALL__",
        "user",
        "activity_group",
        "company",
        "profile"
      ],
      "connectorRef": {
        "connectorName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap.SapConnector",
        "bundleName": "org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.sap-connector",
        "bundleVersion": "[1.5.0.0,1.6.0.0)"
      },
      "displayName": "Sap Connector",
      "ok": true
    }

Using the SAP Connector to Manage SAP R/3 Users

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

This section provides sample commands for managing users in an SAP system.

Listing the Users in the SAP System

    }
  ],
  "resultCount": 9,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}

Obtaining the Details of an SAP User

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The following command uses the SAP connector to obtain a user's details from a target SAP system:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \

        "GLTGB": "2016-09-01",
        ...
    },
    "_id": "BJENSEN"
}

In addition to the standard user attributes, the GET request returns the following ICF operational attributes:

  • __ENABLE__ - indicates whether the account is enabled, based on the value of the LOGONDATA attribute

  • __ENABLE_DATE__ - set to the value of LOGONDATA/GLTGV (date from which the user account is valid)

  • __DISABLE_DATE__ - set to the value of LOGONDATA/GLTGB (date to which the user account is valid)

  • __LOCK_OUT__ - indicates whether the account is locked

Creating SAP User Accounts

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To create a user, you must supply at least a username and password. If you do not provide a lastname, the connector uses the value of the username.

The following command creates a new SAP user, SCARTER:

The SAP account that is created is valid and enabled, but the password is expired by default. To log in to the SAP system, the newly created user must first provide a new password.

To create a user with a valid (non-expired) password, include the __PASSWORD_EXPIRED__ attribute in the JSON payload, with a value of false. For example:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \

    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"

To create an account that is locked by default, include the __LOCK_OUT__ attribute in the JSON payload, with a value of true. For example:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \

Schema Used by the SAP Connector For User Accounts

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

For the most part, the SAP connector uses the standard SAP schema to create a user account. The most common attributes in an SAP user account are as follows:

  • ADDRESS - user address data

  • LOGONDATA - user logon data

  • DEFAULTS - user account defaults

  • COMPANY - the company to which the user is assigned

  • REF_USER - the usernames of the Reference User

  • ALIAS - an alias for the username

  • UCLASS - license-related user classification

  • LASTMODIFIED - read-only attribute that indicates the date and time that the account was last changed

  • ISLOCKED - read-only attribute that indicates the lockout status of the account

  • IDENTITY - assignment of a personal identity to the user account

  • PROFILES - any profiles assigned to the user account (see "Managing User Profiles").

  • ACTIVITYGROUPS - activity groups assigned to the user

  • ADDTEL - telephone numbers assigned to the user

In addition, the SAP connector supports the following ICF operational attributes for CREATE requests:

  • LOCK_OUT

  • PASSWORD

  • PASSWORD_EXPIRED

The following example creates a user, KVAUGHAN, with all of the standard attributes:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --request POST \

Updating SAP User Accounts

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The following sections provide sample commands for updating an existing user account.

Locking and Unlocking an Account

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To lock or unlock a user's account, send a PUT request, and set the value of the user's __LOCK_OUT__ attribute to true.

The following example locks user KVAUGHAN's account:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__LOCK_OUT__": true
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"

The following example unlocks KVAUGHAN's account:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__LOCK_OUT__": false
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"
Updating the Standard Attributes of a User's Account

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To update a user's standard attributes, send a PUT request to the user ID. The JSON payload must respect the structure for each attribute, as indicated in "Schema Used by the SAP Connector For User Accounts".

The following command updates the ADDRESS attribute of user KVAUGHAN:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "ADDRESS": {
        "FIRSTNAME": "Katie",
        "LASTNAME": "Vaughan",
        "FULLNAME": "Katie Vaughan",
        "FUNCTION": "Administrator",
        "TITLE": "Company",
        "NAME": "EXAMPLE.COM",
        "CITY": "San Francisco",
        "POSTL_COD1": "94105",
        "STREET": "Sacramento St",
        "HOUSE_NO": "2912",
        "COUNTRY": "US",
        "COUNTRYISO": "US",
        "LANGU": "E",
        "LANGU_ISO": "EN",
        "REGION": "CA",
        "TIME_ZONE": "PST",
        "TEL1_NUMBR": "33297603177",
        "E_MAIL": "katie.vaughan@example.com",
        "LANGU_CR_P": "E",
        "LANGUCPISO": "EN"
    }
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"
Resetting a User's Password

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To reset the user's password, provide the new password as the value of the __PASSWORD__ attribute, in a PUT request. The following command resets KVAUGHAN's password to MyPassw0rd:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__PASSWORD__": "MyPassw0rd"
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"

Note that unless you set the __PASSWORD_EXPIRED__ attribute to false, the user will be required to reset her password the next time she logs into the SAP system.

The following command resets KVAUGHAN's password to MyPassw0rd, and ensures that she does not have to reset her password the next time she logs in:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
    "__PASSWORD__": "MyPassw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false
 }'
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"

Deleting User Accounts

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To delete a user account, send a DELETE request to the user ID. The following example deletes KVAUGHAN:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --request DELETE \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/KVAUGHAN"

The command returns the complete user object that was deleted.

Managing User Profiles

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

An SAP system uses profiles to manage authorization. The following examples demonstrate how to add, change, and remove a user's profiles.

Creating a User With One or More Profiles

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Profiles are added as an array of one or more objects.

The following command creates a user BJENSEN, with the system administrator profile (S_A.SYSTEM):

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --request POST \
 --data '{
    "__NAME__" : "BJENSEN",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false,
    "PROFILES": [
        {"BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM"}
    ]
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "BJENSEN",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "System administrator (Superuser)",
      "BAPITYPE": "S",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
  ...
  "__NAME__": "BJENSEN"
}

Note that the additional information regarding that profile is added to the user account automatically.

Updating a User's Profiles

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To update a user's profiles, send a PUT request to the user's ID, specifying the new profiles as an array of values for the PROFILES attribute. The values provided in the PUT request will replace the current profiles, so you must include the existing profiles in the request.

The following example adds the SAP_ALL profile to user BJENSEN's account:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
   "PROFILES": [
      {"BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM"},
      {"BAPIPROF": "SAP_ALL"}
      ]
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/BJENSEN"
{
  "_id": "BJENSEN",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "SAP_ALL",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "All SAP System authorizations",
      "BAPITYPE": "C",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    },
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "S_A.SYSTEM",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "System administrator (Superuser)",
      "BAPITYPE": "S",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
 ...
  "__NAME__": "BJENSEN"
}
Removing All Profiles From a User Account

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To remove all profiles from a user's account, update the account with an empty array. The following example removes all profiles from BJENSEN's account:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
   "PROFILES": []
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/BJENSEN"

  "_id": "BJENSEN",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
 ...
  "__NAME__": "BJENSEN"
}

The output shows no PROFILES attribute, as this attribute is now empty for this user.

Managing User Roles

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

SAP user roles (or activity groups) are an alternative mechanism to grant authorization to an SAP system. Essentially, a role encapsulates a set of one or more profiles.

Roles can be granted with temporal constraints, that is, a period during which the role is valid. If no temporal constraints are specified, the SAP connector sets the FROM date to the current date and the TO date to 9999-12-31.

Creating a User With One or More Profiles

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Roles are added as an array of one or more objects.

The following command creates a user SCARTER, with two roles: SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR and SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR. The auditor role has a temporal constraint, and is valid only from May 1st, 2016 to April 30th, 2017. The format of the temporal constraint is YYYY-mm-dd:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --request POST \
 --data '{
    "__NAME__" : "SCARTER",
    "__PASSWORD__": "Passw0rd",
    "__PASSWORD_EXPIRED__": false,
    "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
        {
            "AGR_NAME": "SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR",
            "FROM_DAT": "2016-05-01",
            "TO_DAT": "2017-04-30"
        },
        {
            "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR"
        }
    ]
 }' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/?_action=create"
{
  "_id": "SCARTER",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "T_ALM_CONF",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "Profile for the Role SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "BAPITYPE": "G",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
  ...
  "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
    {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2016-04-20",
      "TO_DAT": "9999-12-31",
      "AGR_TEXT": "Alert Management Administrator"
    },
    {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2016-05-01",
      "TO_DAT": "2017-04-30",
      "AGR_TEXT": "AIS - System Audit - Users and Authorizations"
    }
  ],
  "__NAME__": "SCARTER"
}

When a role is granted, the corresponding profiles are attached to the user account automatically.

Updating a User's Roles

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To update a user's roles, send a PUT request to the user's ID, specifying the new roles as an array of values of the ACTIVITYGROUPS attribute. The values provided in the PUT request will replace the current ACTIVITYGROUPS.

The following example removes the SAP_AUDITOR_SA_CCM_USR role and changes the temporal constraints on the SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR role for SCARTER's account:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
  "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
      {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2015-06-02",
      "TO_DAT": "2016-06-02"
      }
  ]
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/SCARTER"
{
  "_id": "SCARTER",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  "PROFILES": [
    {
      "BAPIPROF": "T_ALM_CONF",
      "BAPIPTEXT": "Profile for the Role SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "BAPITYPE": "G",
      "BAPIAKTPS": "A"
    }
  ],
  ...
  "ACTIVITYGROUPS": [
    {
      "AGR_NAME": "SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR",
      "FROM_DAT": "2015-06-02",
      "TO_DAT": "2016-06-02",
      "AGR_TEXT": "Alert Management Administrator"
    }
  ],
  "__NAME__": "SCARTER"
}
Removing All Roles From a User Account

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

To remove all roles from a user's account, update the value of the ACTIVITYGROUPS attribute with an empty array. The following example removes all roles from SCARTER's account:

curl \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
 --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
 --header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
 --header "If-Match: *" \
 --request PUT \
 --data '{
   "ACTIVITYGROUPS": []
}' \
 "http://localhost:8080/openidm/system/mysap/user/SCARTER"
{
  "_id": "SCARTER",
  "COMPANY": {
    "COMPANY": "SAP AG"
  },
  ...
  "LASTMODIFIED": {
    "MODDATE": "2016-04-21",
    "MODTIME": "04:27:00"
  },
  "__NAME__": "SCARTER"
}

The output shows no ACTIVITYGROUPS attribute, as this attribute is now empty.

Configuring the SAP Connector For SNC

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

The SAP connector supports an SNC (Secure Network Connection) configuration. SNC is a software layer in the SAP System architecture that provides an interface to an external security product.

For a list of the configuration properties specific to SNC, see "SAP Secure Network Connection Configuration".

Implementation Specifics

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

For PATCH requests, a connector can potentially add, remove, or replace an attribute value. The SAP connector implements the add, remove, and replace operations but the sample scripts provided with the connector implement only the replace operation. If you use these sample scripts, a PATCH request will therefore always replace the entire attribute value with the new value.

Setting Productive Passwords on the SAP System

Important

Connectors continue to be released outside the IDM release. For the latest documentation, refer to the ICF documentation.

Synchronization of passwords to the SAP system requires that you configure SNC and SSO. If you do not configure these two elements correctly, passwords that are updated by IDM are set as initial passwords rather than productive passwords, and users are forced to change their passwords on login.

  1. To configure the SAP connector to use SNC, set the sncMode property to "1".

    To configure the connector to use SSO with SNC, set the sncSSO property to "1".

  2. The logon session during which a productive password is set must be secured using the authentication method Single Sign-On (SSO) using Secure Network Communications (SNC). IDM must request and receive an SSO logon ticket from the SAP system to allow the BAPI_USER_CHANGE process to set a productive password. For more information, see SAP Note 1287410.

    To configure the connector to request this logon ticket, set the value of the x509Cert property as follows:

    • If you are using an X509 certificate to negotiate with the SAP server, set the x509Cert property to the base 64-encoded certificate.

      Note that the certificate must be a valid, CA-signed certificate. You cannot use a self-signed certificate here.

    • If you are not using an X509 certificate to negotiate with the SAP server, set the x509Cert property to null.

      In this case, the connector will use the user and password specified in the connector configuration to request the SSO logon ticket.

OpenICF Interfaces Implemented by the SAP Connector

The SAP Connector implements the following OpenICF interfaces.

Authenticate

Provides simple authentication with two parameters, presumed to be a user name and password.

Create

Creates an object and its uid.

Delete

Deletes an object, referenced by its uid.

Resolve Username

Resolves an object by its username and returns the uid of the object.

Schema

Describes the object types, operations, and options that the connector supports.

Script on Connector

Enables an application to run a script in the context of the connector. Any script that runs on the connector has the following characteristics:

  • The script runs in the same execution environment as the connector and has access to all the classes to which the connector has access.

  • The script has access to a connector variable that is equivalent to an initialized instance of the connector. At a minimum, the script can access the connector configuration.

  • The script has access to any script-arguments passed in by the application.

Script on Resource

Runs a script on the target resource that is managed by this connector.

Search

Searches the target resource for all objects that match the specified object class and filter.

Sync

Polls the target resource for synchronization events, that is, native changes to objects on the target resource.

Test

Tests the connector configuration. Testing a configuration checks all elements of the environment that are referred to by the configuration are available. For example, the connector might make a physical connection to a host that is specified in the configuration to verify that it exists and that the credentials that are specified in the configuration are valid.

This operation might need to connect to a resource, and, as such, might take some time. Do not invoke this operation too often, such as before every provisioning operation. The test operation is not intended to check that the connector is alive (that is, that its physical connection to the resource has not timed out).

You can invoke the test operation before a connector configuration has been validated.

Update

Updates (modifies or replaces) objects on a target resource.
