Password deactivation through BAPI_USER_CHANGE

[#1]

Hi team,

We are using IDM to manage our user provisioning. As we are implementing SNC, we got a requirement to deactivate password during the new user creation. We are using BAPI_USER_CHANGE to set the password .We are trying to deactivate the password now, but the field LOGONDATA-CODVN is an internal field only.

Please suggest how to deactivate the password for users through the BAPI.

Hi,

for deactivating a password it is allowed exceptionally, to set LOGONDATA_CODVN and LOGONDATAX_CODVN to the value X. You need to leave all other password related fields as they are, to avoid error messages.

This exception is documented in SAP note #780485 .
