CUP - Change Generated Password Length

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are using CUP, with the backend system ECC6 version with SAP_BASIS release 701. Currently, for new user creation for example, the generated password length is 40 characters long. The users have to copy and paste this password, which is a slightly annoying process.

Is there a way change the generated password by CUP to say 8 characters instead?

I cannot find any parameters in RZ11 that set the maximum characters allowed.

Thanks,

Jake.

Hi Jacob,

In additon to above reply, other useful entries are into the PRGN_CUST table to control the auto-generated password feature on SU01.  Without these settings your auto-generated password will be 40 characters.
GEN_PSW_MAX_DIGITS   1 - 40

GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH   1 - 40

GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS 1 - 40

Please check in RZ11 the values of the below parameters as well:

login/min_password_letters

login/min_password_digits

login/min_password_lng

login/min_password_specials

Hope this Information helps!

Hi Jacob,

Kindl check with SAP Note:- 915488 and maintain the switch GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH.
