Hi Bipin,

forget to buy an external software, you have all you need in SAP.

Create a WebDynpro

--> first ask a username

--> second list the system connected (if you have a CUA)

--> When the user validate, you generate a GUID (fm), save this GUID into a specific table with the username, the date, time. Send an email with an URL to reactivate the user/passwd (to the user asked).

In you WebDynpro, you have to catch the URL, if the URL contain a GUID, you go in the third step, validate the new user/passwd

So when the user click on the URL, you go again in your webdynpro, the program get the URL, get the guID, go in the specific table, find the user, the date (if the date is too old, you don't do it ...) and you could regenerate a new passwd, unlock the user, and display the passwd (or send it by mail)

it's not too hard to do it, maybe a 5 days

regards

Fred

PS: important things, you have to specify a user/passwd in the SICF for the webdynpro

Hi Bipin,

I have done a similar development in my previous project. You can do the following steps to accomplish your work.

1) Design the UI screen as you proposed in Microsoft and connect sap system using ODBC or whatever connecting objects you prefer.

2) Add 2 buttons in your UI .i.e Reset Password, Unlock User.

3) a) Call SAP BAPI : BAPI_USER_UNLOCK for unlocking the users

b) call SAP BAPI: BAPI_CHANGE_USER

Hope this will help you.

Regards,

Siva

I've been contemplating a similar project as well. Here is another site I bookmarked, but haven't read in detail:http://ceronio.net/2011/04/change-password-web-service-in-sap/

We don't use Web Dynpro at all currently, so I don't think it would be a good option in our case.
