SAP Note 1414256 - Changing TMSADM password is too complex

Component : Transport Management System - RFC

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1414256 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Security Note updates the guidelines for changing the TMSADM user's password, applicable up to SAP Release 6.40. It references prerequisites outlined in Note 761637, requiring some manual steps before implementation. The recommended solution involves employing a report available through Support Packages or correction instructions to facilitate automation of these manual processes. The report enables uniform password changes across all systems within the landscape, but requires the deactivation of the SNC protection temporarily. Post-change, SNC protection and QoP levels should be reactivated to maintain security integrity.
