Password deactivated

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are having a issue on one of our system where, when a user's password is reset in a ABAP system(say ABC)  and user logs on to a Java system that  has the ABAP system ABC as UME data source faces the below error while logging in with the initial password set by administrator.

Also, the password in the back end system is changed to no password and password login is deactivated for this user.

If the password on ABAP system is changed to productive password by logging into ABAP system first , user is able to login to Java without any issues. When the user tries to login to Java with the initial password the password gets deactivated.

Unfortunately all the user have SNC-SSO from SAP GUI and they are not prompted for Password change on ABAP system in normal cases.

We are trying to find the root cause for this issue and I need help with this issue.

* Is it possible to login to Java system with initial password set on ABAP UME?

* Why is the Password getting deactivated when user uses Initial password on JAVA?

* How to fix this issue so that user would be able to change the password on first login to JAVA even if the password is reset in UME ABAP system.

Please assist and let me know if I could provide you more details.

Thanks,

Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,

Do check in your system if you have this parameter set as this will deactive the password in backend system if the password for user is intial and not changed.

login/password_change_for_SSO=3

Below are the details for same.

login/password_change_for_SSO

Default: 1 Permissible values: 0: Requirement to change password is ignored (backward compatible). 1: Dialog box with options 2and 3 (user decides). 2: Password change dialog only (enter old and new passwords). 3: Deactivation of the password (automatically, no dialog box).

If the user logs on with single sign-on, checks whether the user must change his or her password.

This parameter might causing the issue.
