Password warnings

Former Member — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 05:58:49 GMT

Hi All,

Acc. to security policy here, password expiration warning should start coming up 10 days before the password expires.

How can i implement password expiration warning messages in SAP.

I am using NW04 here.

I guess there is no parameter for that.

Please help me in this .. how can i do this??

Thanks

Tajinder

There is no standard SAP to do this.

What you could do is search for a user exit during the logon routine.

The routine looks in USR02 for BNAME=SY-UNAME (name of user logged in)

Compare the last date they changed their password (field BCDA1) with the current date (SY-DATUM) to give you number of days since password changed

If the number of days is > 10 difference between that and the mandatory expiration date (set in profile parameter) then do nothing.

If days =< 10 days then trigger a popup (various methods like function module TH_POPUP)

You will need to find an appropriate user exit but the rest of the logic is sound

I'm sorry to tell you: such a feature is (up to now) not implemented.

If you consider this as important feature then you might want to submit a feature request to SAP. Chances for an approval are higher the more fellow supporters you're able to find.

Cheers, Wolfgang
