Configuring IdM Settings for Individual Systems

You must have configured global IdM settings in the Customizing section (see Configuring Global IdM Settings in Customizing), otherwise, the IdM settings will not be displayed in the system details. In addition, VDS must have been set up correctly (see Connecting the SAP Admin Module to VDS).

You can indicate for each system whether or not the system is managed by IdM.

To indicate that a system is managed by IdM:

1. Open the SAP Admin module.
2. In the system landscape, right-click the system name that you want to configure and select System Details.
3. In the FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications dialog, provide the following information:
   1. Select the IDM Controlled check box to indicate that the system is managed by IdM. The IDM Account Field box and the Update data also directly to SAP systems check box become available.
   2. In the IDM Account Field box, type the name of the field in the IdM database that holds the user name of the target SAP system. The SAP Admin module identifies users based on their SAP user names. The value in the IDM Account Field box enables the SAP Admin module to identify the IdM IDs of the users whose user data should be changed. If you leave this field blank, the SAP Admin module will use the SAP user name as an ID in IdM.
   3. Select the Update data also directly to SAP systems check box if changes should be sent directly to the SAP target systems (in addition to the IdM database). This check box acts as a safety mechanism.
4. Click Continue.
