Usertypes that will be affected by Login/* Parameter Changes.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am planning to change the following parameters in order to increase password security.

login/min_password_lng

login/min_password_digits

login/min_password_letters

login/min_password_specials

login/password_expiration_time

login/disable_multi_gui_login

login/disable_multi_rfc_login

login/multi_login_users

login/fails_to_session_end

login/fails_to_user_lock

login/failed_user_auto_unlock

login/password_max_new_valid

login/password_max_reset_valid

login/min_password_diff

rdisp/gui_auto_logout

As there are 5 user types available in SAP system.

01) Dialog 'A'

02) System 'B'

03) Communication 'C'

04) Service 'S'

05) Reference 'L'

I am sure that Dialog 'A' user type will be affected by the above parameter changes.

I would also like to know whether any other user types will be

affected by the above parameter changes.

Our System Info: R/3 Enterprise 4.70 / Windows/ MSSQLSERVER.

Thanks & Best Regards

We had applied the parameter changes and it had no issues.

Raghu,

These all parameters are called Standard Parameters and specially used for designing and implementing security policy. The policy may differ company wise.

There are other parameters also which you can get by executing Tcode SA38 -> RSUSR003 and Execute. This will show you all security parameters and SAP Standard user like SAP*, DDIC, SAPCPIC etc.

Dialog users will be mostly effected because of these changes. We have implemented parameters in SAP R/3 4.7, ECC 5.0, ECC 6.0, BW 7 and SRM 5.0

Hope this will help...

Thanks

As per my knowledge these parameters will effect all the user types.

But unfortunately we never use some of these user types directly to login into our system/never change password for any purpose, so we can't find any interruption.

But we may find some misbihaviour while re-configuring standards(STMS etc) after these parameter implementations (anyway we must follow the standard configuraion docs/prerequisistes).

Hi,

I found the following note for the question I raised above.

>> Note 327917 - New user types as of Release 4.6C

Would like to know if someone faced any problems, especially with Communication, Service and System user types.

Also need more clarification whether the above password rules, affect Communication, Service and System user types.

Your inputs will be very helpful.

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi Raghunahth,

As per my knowledge, password rules effects only Dialog users.

I didnt got any sap notes or library to tell you exactly.

I don't have any issues with Communication, Service,reference and System user types.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

In fact, I also could not find any useful information regarding this in SAP / elsewhere.

Your answer has saved me a lot of time.

Also request you to kindly answer my following queries:

1. Have you used the above parameters for your system.

2. If so, what is your System Release ( I mean SAP Version.)

Thanks & Best Regards
