Connecting the SAP Admin Module to VDS

The LDAP server that is configured in the steps described below needs to be running (in transaction LDAP) when you are using any functionality in the SAP Admin module that sends data to IdM.

You need to connect the SAP Admin module to Virtual Directory Server (VDS) so that it can communicate with IdM.

For detailed information on the individual steps, refer to the SAP NetWeaver® Enterprise Search product information that is available online.

To connect the SAP Admin module to VDS:

1. Configure the LDAP connector.
   1. Using transaction SM59, create a new RFC connection of type T (TCP/IP).
   2. Use the transaction LDAP to customize the connection to the LDAP directory (VDS).
      For more information on this step, in the SAP NetWeaver® Enterprise Search product information, click Appendix and select the help topic Configuring the LDAP Connector.
2. Define the credentials for the system user that the SAP system uses to login to the directory server.
   For more information on this step, in the SAP NetWeaver® Enterprise Search product information, click Appendix and select the help topic Defining the System User of the Directory Service.
3. Configure the connection data for the directory service.
