This guide provides detailed instructions on creating and configuring the SAPNetWeaver connector in EmpowerID. Follow these steps to ensure proper setup and synchronization of user data between EmpowerID and the SAPNetWeaver system.

Step 1: Create an SAP NetWeaver Account Store

  1. Navigate to Account Stores:

    • Go to Admin > Applications and Directories > Account Stores and Systems.

  2. Create Account Store:

    • Click on the Actions tab and select Create Account Store.

    • Search for Netweaver under System Types and select SAP NetWeaver.

  3. Enter Connection Details:

    • Fill in the following fields in the form:

      • Account Store Name: Provide a name for the account store.

      • Base URL: Enter the URL of the SAP NetWeaver system, including the port (e.g., https://YourSERVER).

      • Username: Enter the username with read and write access.

      • Password: Enter the password associated with the username.

  4. Submit: Click Submit to create the account store.

EmpowerID will create the SAPNetWeaver account store and the associated resource system.

Step 2: Verify Resource System Parameters

  1. Navigate to Account Stores:

    • Go to Admin > Applications and Directories > Account Stores and Systems.

  2. Select the SAP NetWeaver Account Store:

    • Search for the SAP NetWeaver account store created in the previous step and click the account store link.

  3. Verify Parameters:

    • Go to the Resource System tab and expand the Configuration Parameters accordion.

    • Verify the following parameters are correctly set for your system.

    • Click the Edit button for any parameter you need to change, enter the new value, and click Save.

Step 3: Enable Inventory for the Account Store

  1. Allow Provisioning and De-provisioning:

    • Configure the Resource System to allow provisioning, de-provisioning, and attribute flow.

    • Configure the Account Store to allow RET provisioning and de-provisioning.

  2. Run the Inventory:

    • Once the account store is set up, enable the inventory for the newly created account store.

  3. Reset IIS and Restart Services:

    • Reset IIS and restart web roles and worker services to ensure the settings are applied.

Step 4: SQL Configuration Scripts

Run the SQL scripts in the below dropdown to create necessary attributes and configurations in the database.

Inventory Configuration

After configuring the account store and resource system parameters, enable the inventory to start synchronizing data between SAP NetWeaver and EmpowerID.

  1. Enable Inventory:

    • Go to the SAP NetWeaver account store page.

    • Select the Inventory tab and enable inventory for user accounts, groups, and group memberships.

  2. Full Inventory Sync:

    • The connector supports full inventory sync. During each inventory run, the connector will synchronize all user accounts, groups, and group memberships from SAP NetWeaver to EmpowerID.

  3. Monitor Inventory Jobs:

    • Navigate to Admin > Operations > Job Monitor to monitor the progress and status of inventory jobs.
