Sneak Preview SP15: Password has expired

[Former Member]

Hi,

today I installed the Netweaver 04 SP15 Sneak preview. The first thing I did was creating a new portal user, and I assigned the end user role, which worked fine.

When I try to log in as the new user, I always get a "Password has expired" message (not the usual initial password change, I just cannot log in). I also reset the password as admin, but it doesn't help.

The user view shows today as last password change, expiration time is 99999 days. There are no special characters in the password.

System is Windows Server 2003, JDK 1.4.2_08.

Thanks in advance,

Markus

Found a solution. In J2EE Administration -> Security Provider, I checked the "No password change required" option. That doesn't really solve the problem, but I can login, which is fine for me.

Hi, Markus.

I tried to resolve my problem with your suggestion. But I could not find which parameter I should set to: "No password change required" . Can you please specify it more cleanly.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You have to log in locally on the machine, on which the portal is running (or at least, that's the easiest way). Start the Visual Administrator tool with the go.bat (or the go script for *X systems) in C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\admin.

Select the default connection and log in as admin. Then navigate in the tree to Server/Services/Security Provider. Change to tab User Management. Then look for the user and select it. Click on the edit button above the tabs (I had a bit trouble finding that) and select the "No passwort change required" checkbox, a bit below the middle of the window. Do that for each user and then switch back to read only mode.

We have the same problem, but the work arround does not work in our case... When I try to logon to e.g. user admin of the J2EE site then I get the question to change my password, when I so this I get the error message 'Old password invalid'... Anyone an Idea?

The problem only occurs on Database users, LDAP user do not have a problem, the J2EE option about user can change password is true and even when I create a new user I have the same problem. We run the portal on AIX 64 bit with an IBM Virtual Machine. We use a Novell LDAP server.

Hello All,

I'm facing the same issue on SP13. Is there any solution for this. It's keep prompting me with the password expired screen. However when i give the new password and say Submit, it loads the same screen again.

I got the same problem here, but also found a little workaround. If you create the user by self service (Click register now) on the login page, he is able to log in. So give him the privileges you want afterwards.

one more work around is

go to main page

http://localhost:50000/index.html

and click on UserManagement and enter ur login and pass word it will ask you to change the pass word.after that you can log in with the new password any time.
