loadusers questions

We do not use ADAM, we use Tivoli, but I can tell you that loadusers does allow you to change user information. It simply overwrites the previous information. Additionally I believe that the -u is new to 9.0.0.7. We are on 9.0.0.5 and do not have the option. Let me know if I can be anymore help. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Matt. 

After speaking with the client it sounds like they have a bind with AD.  Are there any issues I should be aware of while using loadusers under these conditions?

Will loadusers populate the tree with the appropirate password(etc) from AD?  From what I've been told this is what happens when they manually add a user.

Thanks again for your help.

No problems should occur because of the bind. No information can be updated by Lawson on the corporate AD, so loadusers cannot update the password. That has to be done at an AD level.

Loadusers will only populate Lawson information (Security Classes, Roles, Services, etc.)

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
Matt

Thanks again Matt.  You were correct, there were no issues with the AD bind.  After loading in a couple test users, the client reports that the users are showing up in the RM object area, but are not showing up in the portal or the process flow admin tool.  Before I go too far comparing user data...should loadusers populate the areas the client is describing?  If so, do you have any ideas as to what I may be missing(attributes etc.)?

Thanks again for your time.

Best Regards,

Chuck

loadusers loads information only into the LDAP repository. The PF Admin tool requires that LOGAN database records get updated, so I feel comfortable saying that piece has to be done separately. The Portal side is slightly more ambiguous. For us, every user also gets a UNIX account and is assigned an LAUA security class, so the loadusers does not suffice to get them onto Portal. Other customers might have a default access for something like ESS and the loadusers could result in their being able to get into Portal.

Thanks for the reply Norm. 

I had an opportunity to look at the ADAM data and loadusers is getting the info in, and I am able to log into the portal...however when I attempt to use one of the bookmarks I get:

Requester does not exist
Login: username
Requester: username
Product Line: PD90

I tracked down the AD sec group Lawson Environment LAUA authentication, and the test user is not currently a member.  In your environment, if a user is setup in the LDAP tree as a requester and a member of the LAUA group is this sufficient to get the user to show up as an active requester?  I realize my client's environment may differ...I am just trying to pin down how this works.

Thanks again for helping me out.

Best Regards

Chuck

Chuck,
Are you using LAUA or Lawson Security 9?

Matt

Hi Matt,
I believe they are using Lawson Security 9 based on some docs I was looking at today. Any idea where the active requester info is stored so I can populate it?
Thanks for your time

Hello all,
I have been using the loadusers utility with the -u without any problems for deleting users from RM. But this will not delete users from Portal. Does anyboby have any idea how I can mass deleted users from Lawson Portal. Lawson Portal only gives you the feature to only delete one user at a time. But how do other companies do it when they have to delete a large amount of users? Would somebody please give a good suggestion if you have tried anything that works? Thank you in advance. Nina.

Nina, can you elaborate more. are you laua, 90 security. also are these identities you are looking to delete or the platform ids. If it is the platform you can look in the GEN database.

I am adding/modifying/removing users from the portal(etc). in the case of my client(which is my only exposure to Lawson), I'm accessing the DB via vbscript. I'm working with 3 DBs and several tables to accomplish this task:

DBs: pd90_db, logan_db, gen_db
Tables: [pd90_db].[dbo].[REQUESTER], [logan_db].[dbo].[WFUSRPROFL],[logan_db].[dbo].[WFUSERPREF], [gen_db].[dbo].[USERGRPDTL],[gen_db].[dbo].[R_USER], [gen_db].[dbo].[USERINFO]

In my case for the iseries besides what chuck said I am also deleting the iseries id that would be the envronment id in the identities. I am not sure what it would be for windows or aix but I would assume it is the same. if you are using pcard their could be one in the po pd files.

Hello Fred, Thank you for the suggestion. I have to try that and see how it works for me. Nina.
