Difference between clients and users in Sap Basis

[Former Member]

Greetings,

I am new to Sap Basis. I have couple of question regarding users and clients in sap basis.

I created a new client let say 202 by logging in as 000 client. While creating new client it does not ask for username or password. how we gonna access this client when need to login? Are there any default username and passwords which can be used for this purpose.

I have created new users with their password and roles. How can we test a specific user to check whether it is created in our database or not. Is there any specific GUI to login users same like we have for clients (SAP Logon).

Please guide me about this. Thanks a lot.

You can create a client in an SAP system using Tx SCC4 from any client as long as you have the authorization. While creating a client it will not prompt for a user creation. The access to the newly created client is possible only if you enable the "Emergency User" which is hard coded in the SAP kernel. To enable this emergency user, called SAP*, you need to set the profile parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar to 0. If the parameter is not set in the system then then default value will be used by the system, which is 1 and with that value you will not be able to login to the newly created client. Parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar is not dynamic, means you need to set it in the profile and restart the instance. After enabling the emergency user, you will now be able to login to the newly created client using the user SAP* and with the default password PASS. You create additional users in the new client once you have logged on with SAP* user.

Thanks for your reply.

I have enabled emergency user and set parameter login/no_automatic_user_sapstar to 0 in default profile. When i save profile on activation it is showing me below attached image message. I am practicing on shared server. So i cannot restart application server on my own. What could be the possible solution for this scenario? plz guide me. Thanks

The answer is there in my initial reply. Read my reply again and you see what you need to do after setting the parameter.

Hello

1. When you create a new client with SCC5 your default username is SAP* and the default password is "pass. If you used any of the client copy methods that copy the user master data you also have available any user you had on the source client.
2. in order to create you have a working user and pass, you can test it from source client, in transaction SM59 you create an RFC against the destination client, with the user and pass inserted, and you click on "test connection", that will test the user, the pass, even the user is not created as DIALOG.
