Map user of DXP - Open Edition and user of SAP

In this topic, you learn how to let the SAP system know how to draw the connection between a user coming from DXP - Open Edition and an SAP user.

Prerequisites

There are two ways to proceed:

This step is for SAP systems using CERTRULE.

This step is only for SAP systems with a KERNEL that does not support CERTRULE, or for certificates without a rule.

In your SAP system, open the table "USREXTID".

You need to add a record in this table for every user who wants to access SAP from DXP - Open Edition.
In the field External ID type, change the value to DN.
In the field External ID, enter the value for each user certificate.

This remains the same for all values except for the CN value, which includes the email address.
In User, you have to map the SAP username of the person to the certificate.

You have mapped users of DXP - Open Edition to users of a SAP system.

For the massive inclusion of records, we recommend creating an ABAP program that does this addition automatically. For example, you can schedule a job to add new users daily.
