Java WebDynpro: how to change password (without the help of EP)?

[Former Member]

Hi java gurus, running a standalone (without EP) JWD application that requires authentication, I do not see any place where the end-user can change her password.

Using ABAP UME, when I define a new user and I set a new initial pwd (user type Dialog) I expect that the system login of the J2EE ask for changing the password.

It doesn't; where am I wrong?

In the logon jsp application I can see changePasswordPage.jsp but nobody seems to call it...

Hello Sergio,

http://<server name>:<server port>/useradmin . User can change there any information including password.

Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Hi Sergio,

you can activate this behaviour via UME API, see https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/javadocs/nw04/sp12/user management engine - version 4.0/com/sap/security/api/iuseraccount.html#setpasswordchangerequired(boolean)

Hope it helps
