7.4 Important CUA Integration
Notes
- The BAPIs utilized to perform the
CUA integration are documented as being available for SAP version
4.0A in the SAP system documentation. Novell® has successfully
tested this functionality for SAP R/3 version 4.6C and
later. This includes all versions of SAP Web Application Server.
For 4.6C systems, the BAPIs are not documented by SAP in the system documentation
and support might not be available.
- Password distribution to the CUA Central system
can be performed for all initial set and reset operations. However,
passwords provisioned to CUA Child systems from the Central system can
only be initially set. Password change/reset operations
cannot be distributed to Child systems. This is a SAP-designed restriction
and is not a limitation of the methodology used by the driver. SAP
has determined that setting a single password across systems via
CUA violates client system administrative authority and security,
so they recommend the use of Single Sign-On (SSO) products to perform
this task. Refer to SAP’s documentation related to Password Change
for more explicit information on this restriction.
- User Classification (Licensing) table entries may
only be made to systems listed in the tab
on the User record. If Central Licensing values are to be set while
adding Users to the CUA Central System, make sure all targeted client
systems are also available by setting a DirXML-sapLocRoles or DirXML-sapLocProfiles
value for them in the Add event.
