Hi,

In transaction rz10 you will definitely get a parameter which sets the kind of password you should have. Like min and max length, expiry, special characters , all such restrictions.

Set them and restsrt the cluster to get the affect.

Plus you can always set your own password, no need to generate.

regards and reward with good points.

Hello Praveen,

Three ways of doing it.

1. Instead of generating passwords give a password on your own while creating the user. We do it all the time in our systems and use the same password always.

2. If you don't want to follow the approach in step 1 then have a look at the profile parameter: login/password_charset. Check itas documentation. However even this would allow certain special characters like:

"@ $%&/()=?'`*+~#-_.,;:{[]}\<>

3. Third option is something I am not cent perccent sure whether it would work in case of generated passwords. But you can try it out. Based on our information I think the value of profile parameter login/min_password_lng in your system is 20. Now you can manipulate the value of profile parameters login/min_password_digits and login/min_password_letters in such a manner that their values add upto 20. Then the password would only allow digits and letters. I think this might solve the issue for you.
