SM02 Settings

Former Member — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 06:20:36 GMT

Hi All,

In our production system we want that user password should get change after every 7 days and they should get a popup message through SM02 1 day before as "Your Password is going to expire pls change it".

How to implement this ???

Regards,

Prashant

Hi Prashant,

You can set "login/password_expiration_time" to 7 in RSPARAM program by which the user password will get expire in every 7 days.

There's no standard fucntionality for that. The topic has been discussed here earlier.

There are a number of ways of doing this on your own though - some very easy (such as a report which checks the logon status and sends a mail shortly before) and others more sophisticated (using logon exits to warn about the expected change - possibly also mentioning what the password rules are).

To be honest, the 7 day rules seems quite strict...

I have some suggesions

7 days duration is very less. we are following 30 days. After the duration (15 days or 30 days) automatically sap popup will display to change the password this is normal process.

But why you want to inform 1 day before to user? This is my question ,as per my understanding

1.If the password duration is 7 days .As per company calendar 7th day is off ,then user coming back to office 8th day are after that, and trying to logging then the password will be expired automatically user canu2019t logging then user has to follow the company process to get the password this will take some hours to avoid this process you want to inform one day before.

As per my knowledge there is no standard setting or reports are not there, you can do one thing with the help of ABAPers you can develop the report and you can schedule that as a background job as per your requirement/duration

You have to consider

1.Factory calendar (time zone)

2.if the user changed the password between the given duration(Ex.on 6 day he has changed his password (User can change his password ones a day)then what to do whether you want to consider from the first or from the last change by user or administrator )

3.if user is not logged on that final day (if he is on leave )

4.you want to consider logging count are calendar count

3. if you want to inform through mail also then you have to connect your mail server in to sap
