Hi Suraj,
Yes you need to configure ssl
As per note 673824
Specific Limitations
Microsoft Active Directory Server
- Create User on Microsoft Active Directory
Due to security reasons it is only possible to create users or user accounts or change a password on Microsoft Active Directory server, if you are using an SSL connection between the Enterprise Portal or SAP J2EE Engine and the directory server.
Additionally, the "High Encryption Pack" for Windows 2000 to enable a 128 bit SSL encryption must be installed on the Microsoft Active Directory Server.
I think that the issues with the security policy.
please try to assign password that suits the password policy your Active directory.
Please check if you can set these option.
UME Configuration Options for External Data Sources
You have the following options to configure the security policy of the UME, both with different implications:
- Option 1: Same or stronger policy
- Option 2: Relaxed policy
- Option 3: Combination of options 1 and 2
