Java and ABAP system, setting new password rules

[Former Member]

Hello,

we have a ecc 6.0 and in front for the users we have a portal based on netweaver 7.0. Our security colleagues told us, to change the password rules based on our new security book. the portal is getting the users via ume and the datasource is the abap system (ecc 6.0). All users accessing the form the portal to the backend system are communication users. my question now. there are two possiblities to change password rules settings. one in the java system and the other on the abap system. where should be implement the password rules? would the changes on the abap system also affect the java system?

regards,

alexander tuerk

For password rules please check the documentation: [Logon and Password Security in the SAP System|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/6717ed439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm]

Hello,

Since you have ABAP+JAVA , I recommend to implement the password rules in ABAP system
