parameter for number of times the user can reset the password for himself

[former_member771067]

Hi Experts,

Currently my SAP system allows the users to chage the password once in a day. Can anyone please tell me what is the parameter to set the value, so that the users can change the password multiple times in a single day.

Thanks in advance.

login/password_change_waittime provides the frequency with which password can be changed,i.e Wait time between two password changes. Try this out with your Basis admin, by giving minimum value as 0

login/password_history_size stores the previous passwords set by the user

also check thru RZ11/RSPARAM(report) all parameters login/password

This is correct. Thanks Plaban for rectifying the same. Also note that this is for system SAP NW 6.4 onwards. Earlier version has predefined limit for 1 day. So for OP if your system is an old timer then this is not possible.

Edited : To OP - However why this is require? Are users in your organization sharing their passwords? Why they need to change the password so frequently?

Hi Guru,

As per my knowledge, the default/minimum time is 1 day, which means if a user changes his password today, he can only change it again the next day. You can increase the # of days by using the parameters, but can't make it 0 (0 means the default value which is 1).
