SAP could manage a SAP system.

Managed Systems

This connector is specific for integration with a SAP system through its interface BAPIs under the RFC standard.

For more information about SAP, please visit the following page: SAP

If your system is not in the previously list, it's possible to include it easily!

For more information to check if your system may be synchronized with this connector you do not hesitate to contact us through our Contact form

Prerequisites

The SAP Java Connetor (JCO) must be installed in the host where the syncserver is running.
A SAP account must be created with permission to execute user administration BAPIs using RFC. Additionally, the attached SAP Role definition can be used to assign permissions to SOFFID RFC user.
The following transport order should be applied in order to synchronize passwords: K953376.de1 R953376.de1

Download and install

This addon is located in the Connectors section and its name is SAP Connector.

Agent configuration

Operational

Monitoring

After the agent configuration you could check in the monitoring page if the service is running in the Synchronization Server, please go to "Start Menu > Monitoring and reporting > System monitoring".

Tasks

Authoritative

If you are checked "Authorized identity source", an automatic task to load identities from the managed system to Soffid is available, please go to "Start Menu > Processes and Tasks > Manage automatic tasks", and you will something like "Import authoritative data from <AGENT_NAME>".

Reconcile

If your are configured the "Attribute Mapping" tab with some of our objects: "user, account, role, group or grant", an automatic task to synchronize these objects from the managed system to Soffid is available, please go to "Start Menu > Processes and Tasks > Manage automatic tasks", and you will something like "Reconcile all accounts from <AGENT_NAME>".

Synchronization

About the synchronization of the objects, there are two possible options:

If you are checked the generic attribute "Read Only" in the "Basics" tab, only the changes in the managed systems will be updated in Soffid. We recommend this options until the global configuration of Soffid will be tested.
If you are not checked the generic attribute "Read Only" in the "Basics" tab, all the changes in Soffid or the managed system will be updated in the other. Note that this synchronization must be configured in the "Attribute mapping" tab correctly.
