I am looking to create users in the Lawson database utilizing a CA's Identity Manager and I need to know what the backend to Lawson is and what would be the best way to create users without using thier interface.
I have the ability to use JDBC and was wondering if Lawson supported this type of connection to it's user store.

The ONLY way that Lawson will officially support the creation of users is either manually via the Lawson Security Administrator tool or through the loadusers utility.
We experimented with other ways and were quite successful at it, but ultimately converted our scripts to use the loaduser utility because you never know when you will need something from GSC, and if they find out that you've been creating users any other way, they will tell you that they cannot help you.
loadusers can be run from the command line, and thus scripted. See $GENDIR/bin/loadusers

Was web services calls one of the methods you experiemented with in creating users and if so what protocols can be utilized i.e. Soap, SPML, TEWS?

No, we experimented with sqlplus to extract new hires entered into Lawson, then ldapmodify and ssoconfig mostly. It was really messy, but it did work... until something happened to our TDS database. Then we quickly switched to the Lawson-supported tools loadusers and ssoconfig... along with ldapmodify for our LDAP binding.
It is much smoother now.
