How to set a initial password

[Former Member]

Hello

i have following problem.

I will set a initial password and provision this into sap abap.

I get my Userdata (without password) from an external DB an load it per initial load into IDM data store.

I have tried to set the value in the MX_PASSWORD oder MX_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD but this didn't work.

Have anyone an idea what how i can solve my problem?

Hi Andreas,

you have to set MX_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD.

If the modification of that attribute does not trigger provisioning, you should check the system privilege(s), whether they have that attribute flagged to be relevant for modification.

Easiest way to do that in 7.2 is looking at the privilege in MMC:

Hi Norman,

thanks for the answer.

Where can i find it on IDM 8.2?

Hi Andreas,

You can enable the attribute MX_MODIFYTASK_ATTR for a UI form for privileges. But there you can only see attribute IDs, hence you have to get the attribute ID first from the schema.
