How to Change the UME of a J2EE Engine and SAP Supported Changes
It is also possible to change the data from the SAP Netweaver administrator. Navigate to
http://<server>:<port>/nwa -> configuration management -> security ->destinations ->
UMEBackendConnection RFC Destination in "Connection and Transport" tab and set the values here. Hence
if a change of the properties is needed, you can use the online tool, /nwa. However, offline it can be done
only via the Configtool.
Important notes:
1) Editing the properties offline, prevents user management data from becoming inconsistent in a
running system because of changes made to UME properties with the Configtool. You can use user
management configuration to edit properties in most cases (online). Only use the Configtool if you
cannot use an online tool. This procedure requires you to stop the SAP NetWeaver Application
Server (AS) Java. Make sure that you plan for the required downtime while the AS Java restarts.
2) The Security Provider service is one of the core services and if its startup fails, the whole engine will
fail to start as well. At startup, its action depends on several other components as well, the most
important of which are - the UME service (com.sap.security.core.ume.service) and the Userstore
service. The references to them are hard, so if any of them fails to start or is not available, so will the
security service itself.
3) If you are using the Central User Administration (CUA), check the below link:
