Summary :
This SAP Note details multiple issues with the SAP Logon control (wdtlog.ocx), used for logging on to SAP systems via ActiveX controls in client applications. Key problems include non-evaluation of environment variables, unstandardized default values, lack of expired password checks, incorrect server transfers, and complications with special characters in user credentials. Solutions range from registry updates to support for Single Sign On (SNC). The document also addresses enhancements in error reporting and system message methods, alongside instructions for correct password handling and system choice settings during logon. Developers are advised to update control versions to rectificate errors and improve functionality.
