[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

we have the requairment i.e

1) The end user can be able to unlock the his user, if any reasion the user locked.

2) The end user can be able to reset the password or to generate new password, if he forget the password.

Note : The user don't have the authorisations for adminstaraion level access in portal or ECC system.

Please let me know is it possible or not through webdynpro java Applicaion.

You can have a simple WD application to change the password -

Now regarding unlocking an account, i believe can be done only through administrator.

Hi Mahesh,

I tried password change example, but i am getting the following error.

The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

com.sap.security.api.UMRuntimeException: Maint method setAttribute cannot be used because the principal is not mutable!

at com.sap.security.core.imp.AbstractPrincipal.setAttributeValues(AbstractPrincipal.java:2012)

at com.sap.security.core.imp.AbstractPrincipal.setAttributeValues(AbstractPrincipal.java:1999)

at com.sap.security.core.imp.UserAccountWrapper.setPassword(UserAccountWrapper.java:276)

at com.passwordresetapp.PasswordResetView.onActionChange(PasswordResetView.java:165)

... 30 more

Use mutable user account to change the password.

mutUserAccount.setPassword ;
mutUserAccount.save();
mutUserAccount.commit();
