SUS password change NOT reflected in EBP

[Former Member]

This is a SUS user management issue, in regards to the EBP-SUS scenario.

1. When an admin user in SUS creates a bidder user, he supplies a password for this bidder. This bidder is replicated to EBP successfully with this "initial" password.

2. When the bidder logs onto SUS, he's forced to change his "initial" password given by the admin to a new password.

Problem: The bidder's new password is NOT changed in EBP. So now, the bidder has a new password in SUS, and the "initial" password in EBP.

This should not be the case. What are we missing?

Note 778483 hints at the issue.

So you force the bidder to change their initial password, this is fine.

But this change is NOT updated to the EBP system, and that's our problem. I think the functionality should be that when bidder changes his initpassword, it's automatically changed in the EBP system as well.

IS there config for this, or is this a bug or lack of functionality?

Thanks.

Derek Xu ,

Unfortunately, there is no such fuctionality available . Use Portal with SSO to meet your business requirements.

Well the vendor admin user can change the bidder password, which is replicated to EBP.

So to clarify, when the bidder changes his own password, there's no function to replicate this to EBP.

If someone can confirm this, I can go sleep tonight.

Thanks.

I have went through all of these notes.

I guess the functionality that I'm looking for does not exist.

I have disabled forced password change at logon (note 778483) as a temporary work around to keep password consistent in all systems.

Thanks.

Would be interested in their answer.
