Why configtool no need authentication?

Dear all,

Just curious to ask why the J2EE configtool does not require logon before making changes to the properties? Or is it the Windows SAP administrator logon already the authentication process? Since the configtool can modify some security parameters which seems require some kind of authentication, right?

Thanks & Regards,

Kelvin

Thas something to do with being an offline editor. Therefore it can't authenticate - as there is nothing to check it against. Also, as you have logged onto the operating system to run it, you need that user and password anyway.

I raised this on the ADM200 and that was the response I got.

What Barry says is true nad just for addition:

This is not a remote tool, so you cannot connect from some place else into it. That means you have to have access to the machine running the core system. If that is the case you got access to any information anyway....
