Hello All,

pls help.
Thanks and Regards,

You can set the profile parameter value of login/password_downwards_compatibility to 5 to remove the case sensitivity of the password. The disadvantage of this is the length of password is restricted to a maximum of 8.

Hello Pramod,
This should be helpful :-

The profile parameters login/min_password_lowercase and login/min_password_uppercase provide the definition of the number of required upper and/or lower case characters. You can choose any value from 0 40, the default value is 0. With a setting of 0 any enforcement is currently deactivated.
In lower releases users could only change their passwords once a day. You can now configure this waiting period to a longer time via the following profile parameter login/password_change_waittime. The range is from 1 1,000 days with the default being 1, which represents the former system behavior.

This will not solve the problem...
paremeters login/min_password_lowercase and login/min_password_uppercase establish the minimun ammount of caracters in upper or lowecase but if the user still have CAPS lock ON they will not be recognize as lowercase or viceversa.
As mentioned before... this is simply not possible.

Hi Prasmod
Since NW 7.0 (ECC 6.0 is NW 7.0 based) passwords are case sensitive. You can set login/password_downwards_compatibility to 2 to switch back to the old behaviour, but that is less secure. It is all quite good outlined in the blog posted by
Manomeet.
You can also check sap this sap note:

Hi Pramod,
As per 620 (i think) password are case sensitive... as far as i know theres no parameter to change this...
So I'm affraid you'll not be able to do this.
