JCO in Unicode. Password case sensitive issue.

[Former Member]

Hi,

We upgraded our SAP from 4.6 to the new ECC 6.

Now the JCO version for the connecting to the new unicode SAP uses a userid and password that is case sensitive.

For example:

JCO.Client connection = JCO.createClient(properties.getProperty

("jco.client.client"),

"john",

"sapepi01",

language,

properties.getProperty("jco.client.ashost"),

properties.getProperty("jco.client.sysnr"));

The password shown in the above is lower case. This can be used to logon to the SAP GUI with no problems. However when used in the JCO call, the connection can not be established. The password is always converted to uppercase before authenticating by the RFC middleware layer. In order for this to work, i need to change the password above to SAPEPI01, then using the JCO to create the connection as above, it will work. Or else i always get a system message class id of 00 from SAP saying that the password is incorrect (repeat logon) even though I put a lower case password when establishing the JCO connection. This will be a pain to ask all users to convert their password to upper case.

Is there any way of getting around this?

thanks for your help in advance,

Tree.
