Hi,

first: You only need to restart the server when performing changes to the UM configuration, not when changing user accounts.

Second: What are you using as UME data source: an ABAP system, the J2EE database or an external LDAP server?

Third: Have you taken a look into your system's trace files (default.trc) and logs (esp. security.log)? Anything interesting in there?

Before 10 days of password expiry ,When the user logs in the portal , a message will pop up (That user password is going to expire in 10 days ).

Hi,

no this is not possible by standard means. Maybe via some custom coding that performs this check during logon. But for this you would have to discover how the portal itself finds out the remaining validity time of the user's password.

Hi Dominik

Suppose if I get the remaining timeperiod for password expiry , then pls tell me how should I proceed . Means whether I have to write my own code or I need to change in existing code .

If I make my own code then where this code should be added.

Hope u understand the problem!!!!!

Thanks

Hi,

you would have to write some new Java code and build an iView. This could be placed on some page the user views initially after logon. Do a search across the forums, it is a regular question how to display something comparable to R/3's logon messages.
