Few System setting

[former_member557371]

I have two questions

1. Do we have a setting in SAP ME 5.2 where I can set the Password history count for the entire user in that particular site to some value (I know that we can do the same setting at user level @ user maintenance)?

2.   There is any system rule (SAP ME 5.2) where I can reset my password NEVER to expire for all users or for particular user.

Thanks

Hi Imran,

1. This is possible only in User Maintenance for each user separately. Field "Historical Password Count".

2. System Rule "Days Before Password Expires" can be set to something like 9999 days.

Hello Imran,

Sergiy is absolutely right. A dirty trick I can suggest to change password history count for all users is to change the value for all users directly in database:

UPDATE USR SET PASSWORD_COUNT ='10' WHERE SITE='SITE_NAME'

.... this should update Historical Password Count field to 10 for all users on the site.

Obviously, this is not a supported way, but...

A potential downside of this trick is that if you have a longer history at the moment, then setting it to a smaller number will likely not clear those excess history records in the database.
