Changing password, RFC, and Java

Former Member — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 08:49:02 GMT

Hi!

I've still a problem to change the user password. I've read all topics for this subject on this forum but they don't help me...

I've a Java program and I want to change the user password. But I can only use RFC methods. So I look at the function SUSR_USER_PASSWORD_CHANGE_RFC. But my problem is that I only have as parameters BNAME and NEW_PASSWORD, but not PASSWORD. So it doesn't work... How do I have to do it ?

Hi,

1. in FM

SUSR_USER_CHANGE_PASSWORD_RFC

Password parameter is there. (means old/current password)

2. u say that

But my problem is that I only have as parameters BNAME and NEW_PASSWORD, but not PASSWORD

Do u mean u don't have the VALUE

of the users current password ?

3. If this is so,

then we cannot change any users password.

Any System, whether SAP, legacy, Operating System,

will require current / old password

to change to a new one.

Its quite logical.
