Hi Karthik,

if a password is reset with transaction SU01 the reset date is stored in the usermaster. In case of the user is type "DIALOG" this initial password is only valid for <login/password_max_idle_initial> days. The initial password has to be changed by the user within the number of days which are set by this parameter. After this number of days the initial password cannot be used anymore.

best regards

Michael

Can you change the initial password to new one?

Hi,

the user administrator can reset the password at any time. The owner of the password is forced when he logs on to the system within the period which is defined in the parameter "login/password_max_idle_initial".

Hi,

The warning is not appearing after user creation but it shows warning when creating.

How to ignore the warning?

Thanks,

Hi Karthik, after setting/generating the password, you just need to save the changes, and you should find the warning no longer appears.

Hi Adam,

Yes,You are right but my question is why the warning is visible while creating?

Is there any dependent parameter /setting to disable the warning?

Thanks,

karthik

How can a password expire while you are creating the user?

You must supply the password or deactivate it. There is no warning as at that point in time because there is no password yet.

You must be doing something else at that point in time?

On NW 7.02.17 I can recreate the issue.

The warning is visible.

It's a small bug you can ignore.

If you can't sleep with this karthik - create message to support.
