Force User to enter new password

Former Member

Hi all,

I would like to know if there is a way to force some of our users to enter a new password when they logon to SAP the next time?

The only way I would know is to give them a new password in SU01 and email it to them. But this would be a lot of work. We do not want to change the password settings in general, as most of our users should not be affected by this.

Does anyone know a differerent way? Maybe to set a flag in the user or a table?

Thanks for any help.

Tobi

Hi Jurjen,

I did already go through this thread, but I must have missed your answer.

We will try this out, as we do not want to have all users to change the password.

Thanks so far.

It is working OK, and I think this should be a suitable solution.

Thanks.

you could change parameter

login/password_expiration_time

to - let's say 1 and restart all of the instances of that special system. after one day all users would have to change their passwort.

you could then reset the parameter to 0 (or to whatever value you think adequate) on all instances of the system and restart them ...

thus having forced all your users to change the password at least once.

for some users you have to use SU01 ...
