Hello

upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 was performed.

Maximum Password length in R/3 4.6C is 8.

Maximum Password length in ECC 6.0 is 40.

Customer here wants Maximum Password Length in ECC 6.0 to be 8 and password rules to be applicable in ECC 6.0 same as in R/3 4.6C.

We have set the the following profile parameters

login/password_downwards_compatibility was to 5 .

login/password_charset was set to 0

After restarting SAP instance, maximum password length showed 8 when resetting the password using tx code su01.

However The space was not reduced on login Screen from 40 to 8 in ECC 6.0.

We want to reduce the space on login screen from 40 to 8 in ECC 6.0.

Please suggest the solution.

Thanks and Regards

I don't think you'll be able to do that.... why making things so complicated?, no matter how many caracters they can enter on the logon screen the paremeter already doing its job and will limit the password to 8 caracters...

Hello Juan,

Fully agreed with you.

But Still however, my customer is somehow not convinced. Our CIO has asked us to find a solution.

Hi,

>Our CIO has asked us to find a solution.

If your CIO asks you for a solution against the law of gravity, you will have to tell him that the apple will still fall...

Agree with Olivier...

Sometimes they need someone to give them a reality check.
