SAP Business Objects Password Expiry

Can anyone please assist with this issue: We currently have a SAP BOBJ 4.1 environment which is internet facing which authenticates via our BW 7.3 which is in the LAN. The issue arises when the password expires for the users outside of the organisation (LAN) since they cannot log on to BW and change their passwords. Is there a way in which these users can reset their passwords without logging on to BW directly?

Considering that you are using BW authentication ,one of the way is to reset password of user's SAP BW account.This can be done by security team.Another way is to create Enterprise accounts for such users who are not supposed to use their SAP account.This way password reset can be done from BO interface.

P.S. In both of the above ways user will not be required to reset password by himself.

Hi Sibusiso

Have you tried checking if there is a SICF service available to activate. Also, if NWBC HTML can somehow be used to grant users access to logons? This way you don't need SAP GUI deployed

It may open up other challenges on making this access externally available.
