Adding a link in SAPGUI for reset password

[former_member205096]

Hello,

I have a business need to add a link to SAPGUI for resetting passwords.  Can some one out there suggest the best solution for this?  The scenario is that when a user forget his/her password while on the SAPGUI, he/she can click on the "Forgot My Password" link and it replies with an email authentication.  The verification is authenticated in the User Master or HR Master.   Can the SAPGUI be modified for this?

Thanks,

Hi David,

you could create a WebDynpro, and create a link to reset the password (with a workflow ... )

So you only need a link, but I think it's not possible to put it in the SAP Logon. But maybe in the logon screen.

Hello Frederic,

Thanks for the quick response. 

I know about creating the WebDynpro and link it to a workflow, but is it possible to modify the SAPGUI logon page and insert "Forgot My Password" just below the Language?  Have never seen it done before. 

Thanks

Hi David,

Have a look at these threads:

Ooops... Just noticed you can only add text and icons (in the first column), no hyperlinks (note 205487).

... yes

you could also activate the comment field in the SAPLogon, but you can't insert a link,just simple text.

Hi,

You can try to do something in the user exit SUSR0001 for log on screen. You can check if the user account is locked, this can be done by querying the table USR02 and checking field UFLAG has value 128 indicating lock due to incorrect login. Then do your part of sending mail and authenticating and unlocking. Although it wont be on the screen directly but a workaround way of doing the same.

Also another way could be using GUIXT scripting but that's cumbersome as the scripts are local and you will have to do it per user.
