Password too short problem

[#1]

My installation is aborted almost immediatly.

I receive a message saying that my password for j2eadm is too short. This is a standard Windows XP message informing that the password is not within my company's standards.

Since I have not entered any user name or password, I can only assume that the installation tries to create a user on its own with a "simple" password.

<b>Anyone know where is the installation file which controls the passwords?</b>

You can either try Slim Edition or older version apply for the SP11/12 patches.

You can search for the SP here

Entry by Application Group -> Support Packages and Patchese -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NetWeaver components ( < SAP NW 04 )-> SAP WEB AS -> SAP WEB AS 6.40 -> SAP J2EE ENGINE 6.40

If your pc is not protected against changes of security settings, you might be able to change the password policy:

1) Within Windows go to Start --> Control Panel

2) Select Administrative Tools

3) Select Local Security Policy

4) Browse to the folder 'Account Policies --> Password Policy'.

5) Change the 'Minimum password length' to 5.

For me this solved the problem.

IT Guys are smarter than that. When a corporate policy is set for passwords, setting the policy for a PC is disabled.
