How To Fix LDAPMAP014 - No mapping defined for this filter

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: LDAPMAP - Messages for Mapping and Mapping Maintenance

• Message number: 014

• Message text: No mapping defined for this filter

What causes this issue?

The "Filter" indicator must be set for exactly one attribute in a
mapping.
This attribute is used when reading objects from the directory to
be able to assign the directory entry to an entry in the SAP system.
For example, in the proposals delivered by SAP for the mapping for
user master synchronization, the attribute "sapUsername" is the filter
attribute, since it is mapped to the databas efield that contains the
SAP user name.
You must set this indicator even when you do not want to import any
data from the directory, since the filter attribute is required to
construct the search request was the existence check for entries
in the directory.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LDAPMAP014 - No mapping defined for this filter ?

  The SAP error message LDAPMAP014 No mapping defined for this filter typically occurs in the context of integrating SAP systems with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directories. This error indicates that there is a problem with the mapping configuration between the LDAP directory and the SAP system, specifically that the filter being used does not have a corresponding mapping defined.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Mapping Configuration: The most common cause is that the LDAP mapping configuration in the SAP system does not include a definition for the filter being used. This could be due to a misconfiguration or an oversight during the setup process.
  
  
  Incorrect Filter Syntax: The filter being applied may have incorrect syntax or may not match any of the defined mappings in the SAP system.
  
  
  Changes in LDAP Schema: If there have been changes in the LDAP schema or attributes, the existing mappings may no longer be valid.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the LDAP query may not have the necessary permissions to access certain attributes or objects in the LDAP directory.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check LDAP Mapping Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code LDAP in SAP.
  Review the LDAP mapping settings to ensure that the filter you are using is defined correctly.
  Ensure that all necessary attributes and mappings are included.
  
  
  
  Define Missing Mappings:
  
  If the filter is not defined, you will need to create a new mapping for it. This involves specifying the LDAP attribute and its corresponding SAP field.
  
  
  
  Validate Filter Syntax:
  
  Ensure that the filter syntax is correct. You can test the filter directly in an LDAP browser or tool to confirm it returns the expected results.
  
  
  
  Review LDAP Schema:
  
  If there have been changes to the LDAP schema, update the mappings in SAP accordingly to reflect these changes.
  
  
  
  Check User Permissions:
  
  Verify that the user account being used to connect to the LDAP directory has the necessary permissions to access the required attributes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or guides related to LDAP integration for specific instructions on configuring mappings.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to LDAP integration and mapping errors.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), SUIM (User Information System), and LDAP for managing LDAP settings.
  Logs and Traces: Review system logs and traces for additional error messages or context that may help diagnose the issue further.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the LDAPMAP014 error and ensure proper mapping between your SAP system and the LDAP directory.
