Next we need to define the group for the SAP administrators. Please keep in mind that in my setup all users are created in the organisational unit “” > “Group IT” > “SAP”.

#Stunnel authentication license

If you have a license for all users of your company, you don’t have to do this. In my case I must assign the Cloud Identity Premium license to the user. Save the certificate, key and user username/password.

Important: In addition to the certificate and key, you must also generate a username and password. All SAP users are in the organisational unit “” > “Group IT” > “SAP”. For example, I’ve limited it to only one unit. You can also restrict which users can authenticate via Secure LDAP.

Your Google sales contact can then help you. If you can’t see the app, you don’t have the necessary license (Cloud Identity Premium or G Suite). To use Secure LDAP you need to enable and configure the app “LDAP” in the Google Cloud Admin Console ( ). This should be used for the administrative access to the SAP Cloud Connector. Every SAP administrator already has a Google Cloud Identity. We ( Otto Group IT) operate all SAP systems in the Google Cloud Platform.

You do not need any know-how how to set up and manage an LDAP server. Since the service is operated by Google, you don’t have to worry about anything as an SAP administrator. Google’s Secure LDAP service provides a simple and secure way to connect your internal SAP Cloud Connector user management to Cloud Identity or G Suite. SAP recommends using LDAP for SAP Cloud Connector user management. To simplify it, we simply consider LDAP as a user administration and use LDAP to configure SAP Cloud Connector authentication. Directory services play an important role in developing applications by allowing the sharing of information about users throughout the network. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an network. You do not need any previous knowledge about LDAP. This article explains how you can switch the internal user management of the SAP Cloud Connector to LDAP. In this blog post I would like to tell you how to configure the SAP Cloud Connector for Google’s Secure LDAP service (Google Cloud Identity or G Suite).
