Change password of cpic user sapcpic

[Former Member]

Dear community.

Out of security reasons we have got to change the password of the communicationuser sapcpic.

Does anybody knows for what this user is to use and if it is an problem if I change the password.

Which functions could be affected?

I hope for some answers.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

If i changed Password through Su01 or through fuction module SUSR_USER_CHANGE_PASSWORD_RFC, Will it affect certain reports, RFCs where SAPCPIC user is used.

Hello Michael

You can have a look at SAP note 29276.

In older releases (< 4.0) you could either lock SAPCPIC or change its password (in SU01) without corresponding changes of the hardcoded password (in the listed reports). Or you could also modify the password in the coding to avoid those functional defects.

Since 4.0 you don't need to perform any modifications, the password of user SAPCPIC can be changed without any problem. User SAPCPIC can even be locked or even deleted.
