External candidate password setting

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

In SAP E Recruiting External candidate registration page we are facing issue of complex password during registration. When we check with Basis they say this is a system parameter & cant be set differently for External candidate Registration & other ECC applications.

Please suggest if it is possible to make different setting of password for External candidate registration page.We want to make setting that candidate can choose any password oh his choice.

Regards

Hi,

this is a question of your system release. With the newer Netweaver / WebAS releases like 7.31 and 7.40 SAP provides a new functionality called security policies. Instead of having the password strength globally defined via system parameters security policies allow different settings for different groups of users.

If you are not yet on such a basis release but use a landscape with separated e-recruiting frontend and backend server you could have different settings for the password strength on both servers. As the external candidates are logging into the system through the frontend and are logged into the backend as trusted system they could have differend password settings than the other user groups (internal candidates, recruiters, etc.) logging directly into the backend server.

Kind regards

Hi Puneet,

Unfortunately your candidate's passwords do need to comply with the system settings regarding the passwords.

Your basis guy is right...

Hi Puneet,

They can choose what they want but it is based on the password settings basis has set in your system (eg. how many capital letters, special characters, how many failed logon attempts and so on)
