How to Change the UME of a J2EE Engine and SAP Supported Changes

In a nutshell, 2 options are available:

- Import the file .Select Upload Tab then give the path to your file.
- COPY/PASTE (copy the text into the CREATE window).
If you choose the UPLOAD option press Upload then CREATE -> CLOSE WINDOW. If you
choose COPY/PASTE, press the CREATE button and then CLOSE Window. Now the new data configuration
file should be visible.

5) Now navigate to Configtool->switch to the configuration editor mode->configuration-

>cluster_data->server-> cfg> services-> Propertysheet com.sap.security.core.ume.service
and make sure that the “ume.persistence.data_source_configuration” has been changed to
reflect the new datasource file used.

A complete cluster restart is needed after this change.

6) It is also possible that due to various business standards present, you do not wish to specify
confidential data similar to LDAP access passwords, ports in the datasource configuration
file (the file has entries where such data can be added). The datasource configuration file
can be downloaded from the http://<server>:<port>/useradmin page or by any user who has
access to the OS file system. In such cases, for added security functionality, you can
amend the Configtool settings to keep such values hidden and not being specified in the
datasource file. The ume.ldap* properties that are available can be used for this. For
example, the ume.ldap.access.additonal_password can be used to specify the password to
access the Novell LDAP from the J2EE (for user master data modifications).
