password resetting in web as abap+java

Former Member

Hi,

I have installed portal 6.0 SR1 on Web AS ABAP+JAVA 640 SR1.

User I am creating in su01 through the ABAP stack.

Whenever I assign the initial password to a user created in this way or reset password of a user (through the ABAP stack), portal asks for new password and confirm the password.After this, it says <i>"user authentication failed". </i>

The workaround for this is that with the initial password of the user, I have to login as the user in portal through ABAP stack.When it asks for new password and we confirm it, we have to user this 'new' password to login to the portal screen.

I would like to know whether there is a setting I have to make in the JAVA stack for this purpose, or this is some bug in abap+java stack.

Thanks and regards,

Kunal.

Hi Kunal,

It looks like the bug as we're also affected by the same behavior. SAP advised us to upgrade to 640 SP15 to fix it

(but I don't know whether the issue will be fixed after upgrade since we cannot proceed with the upgrade from SP13 to SP15 at this time). The workaround we are using is that we deactivate passwords for newly created users in ABAP. In that way users don't get logon prompts during their registration via Portal/J2EE.

Hi Mike,

We have upgraded to SP15 but the problem still persists.

Also, I didn't understand exactly the workaround used by you.

How do you deactivate the passwords for newly created users in abap?

Hi Kunal,

> users in abap?

To deactivate a password for a user in ABAP, the one should to click "Deactivate" button (SU01=>Logon data tab=> password). However, we are using SSO/PAW so users get authenticated automatically if they are connected to NT domain. Thus, this solution may not be applicable to your SAP landscape.

Hi Mike,

Actually I want to know of a setting in j2ee engine by which the password can be resetted though the portal i.e. no need to go to the abap everytime.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Kishor,

When I login to portal through http://<serverName>:50000/useradmin by user j2ee_admin, and I reset the password of a user, it gives error that password not changed.

I didn't get how to reset the password through Visual Admin.Pl explain...

Hence as other options are not working, I have to reset the password through ABAP stack, then login to the ABAP stack using that password and then give new password.

Thanks and regards,

Kunal.

Hi Kunal,

I have an idea. It may work or may not.

1. Change the password in su01.

2. Now don't logon to your portal.

3. Open the sap logon gui.

4. Enter the username & password just you have changed.

5. Now it asks for a new password.

6. Give a new password.

7. Now logon to the portal.

Hope it helps.

Reply me what's your status.

Hi Maheshwaran,

That is exactly what I have done.It works.

But what I wanted to know was that is this a bug or is there some setting to be done in the j2ee engine by which this problem can be solved.
