Diagnosis The password is deactivated for user & in the selected systems. System Response The password is deactivated, that is, the user can no longer log on tothe system using a password. This can be useful, if the user can log on to the system in another way,such as ·,,Using SNC (for SAP GUI and RFC-based front ends) ·,,Using X.509 user certificates (for Web-based front ends) ·,,Using SAP Logon Tickets (if you are using a portal / Workplace) If you are using a SAP GUI and logging on using one of the above SingleSign-On procedures (SNC/SAP Logon Tickets), the system checks whetherthe user can log on by password. If the user can log on using apassword, and the password needs to be changed (because it is initial orhas expired), the user is prompted to change the password; the user isalso given the option of deactivating the password. You can use profileparameter login/password_change_for_SSO to control this behavior. Theuser also has to change his or her password if it no longer fulfills thecurrent password rules and an immediate password change is requiredusing profile parameter login/password_compliance_to_current_policy. As an alternative to individual password deactivation, you candeactivate password logon in general (that is, for all users), bysetting profile parameter login/disable_password_logon appropriately. The user administrator can cancel individual password deactivation byassigning a new password; if password logon is deactivated in general,assigning a new password does not mean that the user can then log onusing a password. Procedure To deactivate the password, choose the "Apply" (Enter) button. |
