Reset Users Password

[Former Member]

Can anyone tell me the function module name to reset a user's password and to generate an email to them containing the new password?

The standard password reset functionality in the Portal doesn't work if the Portal UME connects to an ABAP stack to authenticate users, and that ABAP stack is controlled by CUA.

Im intending to write a WebDynpro on the Portal that calls a function module in CUA to reset the users password and email them the new password.

Cheers,

Steve

check if this might work : BAPI_EMPLOYEET_CHANGEPASSWORD Change employee password

BAPI_EMPLOYEE_INITPASSWORD Initialize employee password

ISA_UADM_46C ISA R/3 User Administration

ISAI_USER_GENERATE_PASSWORD Generate a valid password

ISA_USER_PW_VALIDITY Check if a string could serve as valid password

SUSR_USER_SURFACE_LOCK User: Change interface password

SUSR_USER_SURFACE_PASSWORD User: Change interface password

You can do that from SU01.

But, Not sure how to send an e-mail

Hi Steve,

it's very easy: use FM BAPI_USER_CHANGE.

There is an Import-Parameter PASSWORD and set the corresponding X-Parameter.

Just take a look at the FM-Documentation.

Markus,

Thanks thats spot on, but any idea if this also causes an email to be generated to the user in question?

If not, any idea how I go about generating one?

Cheers.

Hi, if you just want to notify user, then after using above FM you can use : SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send a mail to user.

If an interface was lost could we rbuild/configure it including certificates and password creation? Can someone please help me out with this? I am looking for Installatio/configuration guide.
