How to set automatic user password reset policy ?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts !

We have maintained the password policies in our ECC systems but we are getting lots of requests for password reset on daily basis.

Is there any other way to make it automatic ? I mean, manually we should not reset passwords for users, It should be done automatically by the system.

Please advice on this.

Thanks in advance !

Hi, you can do password self service through SAP GRC or Netweaver IdM. 

There are also other PSS tools on the market which are but a web search away.

Have you identified why people are requesting their passwords to be reset? Is SSO an option?

Hi Lokesh,

Please suggest to users they can reset password during SAP login by clicking on New Password button.

Thanks

Lokesh,

There is no inbuilt automatic password reset functionality available until users knew their existing password which can be reset in login screen as Ranjeet mentioned.

You can do it in two ways:

1. Implement GRC/GRC like third party components and configure automatic password reset
2. Work with ABAP programer to develop custom webdynpro/script to design a automatic password rest for all users, so users can access a URL and reset their password using their username whenever they required
