problem with passwords

[Former Member]

Hi, since about 2 days I have a problem with all the users changing there password,

How can I know the last five passwords entered by a user, where can I find this information.

SAP is set to refuse any password used within the last 5 so it needs to keep it somewhere...

thank you all

and have a nice day

All the passwords are encrypted in SAP.

I think it is USR02 for logon data

also, at the moment the system is set to keep the last 5, how can I change this to three

Here is a link to the SAP PAssword rules:

THis is a link for password parameters:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/22/41c43ac23cef2fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Change this parameter to 3 login/password_history_size

Hi Anthony ,

The parameter is

login/password_history_size = 5(default value)

values permitted = 1 to 100

Available after Netweaver 6.40

We set the parameter login/min_password_diff and set to 1.

THis means any new password must have at least onecharacter different to the prvious password.
