Hi Softerra's team

I'm trying to use SAP Netweaver SPML interface to provision SAP account right after AD account creation.
I'm trying to configure a SPML connector but i don't understand how to configure it : SAP SPML interface provide the XML schema only through a post request (i can get it with fiddler) so i can't achieve this first basic step.

Do you have any clue about that ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

We didn't test SPML Connectors against SAP Netweaver SPML interface. Does it support SPML v2.0?
In order to help you we need a sample SOAP message used by SAP SPML interface.

Sorry for the delay. It seems to be very difficult to get information about SAP inner functions, and i have to go back and forth with my ERP team.
As far as i know SAP use SPML 1.0 so i would understand a no go at this point :-) but i can parse the data with a SPML 2.0 toolkit.
Even with 1.0, it seems that the real problem is tied to the fact that the schema is exposed through a post request and not a basic get request (and so i cannot create a connector).
You'll find below the schema, and a ppt http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/do ... ithSAP.pdf that explain the whole process in details.
Thanks for your help, but once again, i would understand the lack of support with SPML 1.0 (but SAP interop would be a huge plus for you :-) think about it)

Regards

Hello,

Unfortunately using Adaxes it is impossible to connect to SPML v1.0 providers. To get the schema Adaxes uses the ListTargets request, which is not defined in SPML v1.0.

Hello Gustav,

SAP Netweaver SPML interface still supports only the 1.0 version of the language, which makes it incompatible with Adaxes, but there is a workaround. Based on a discussion we've found in Netweaver community, it seems to be possible to run PowerShell scripts from Netweaver. On the other hand, you can access Adaxes functionality from external applications using PowerShell. So, instead of using SPML, you can create PowerShell scripts that create, update, delete users etc via Adaxes, and then add those scripts to Netweaver SAP workflows.

To get information on how to run scripts with Netweaver, you can start with the following thread: https://scn.sap.com/thread/3733827.

For information on how to perform various tasks in Adaxes with the help of PowerShell, have a look at section Sample Scripts in our SDK. in particular, here's an example on how to create a user: http://www.adaxes.com/sdk/?SampleScript ... ounts.html. If you find difficulties with making up the actual scripts, we will help you.
