profile of password

[Former Member]

I want to set password that is different from his last 3 when user change his password , can you show me which profile I can do it ?

As of "SAP NetWeaver 2004s" (aka "7.00") it is possible to define the size of the password history - see <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/862989">SAP Note 862989</a>. In previous releases the size of the password history is fixed (5) and cannot be changed.

Hi,

To make the parameters globally effective in an SAP System (system profile parameters), set them in the default system profile DEFAULT.PFL. However, to make them instance-specific, you must set them in the profiles of each application server in your SAP System

You can find Profile Parameters for Logon and Password (Login Parameters)

in the following link.

I hope this helps.

If you still need more help let me know.

Cheers

Rao,

You can change this with the profile parameter login/password_history_size.

Please award points if helpful.
