No password change possible on logon screen

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with the logon screen while logon into a Web Dynpro application. It is not possible to change the initial password for new users.

When a new user tries to logon with his initial password, a "chage password form" appears where he can enter the current password, the new password and the confirmation of the new password. By approving these information the Logon Screen says me that the password is expired and nothing happened. The password is still the initial password and the user can't logon because the system wants to change the inital password.

Can anybody help me?

Hi Andreas,

What WAS release are you running on ? The issue can be eliminated if you upgrade it to NW04 Sr1 640 PL15 or the latest PL available (PL17 I believe).

Please take a look at the OSS notes 891614 and especially 895720.

Hi Mike,

thanks for answering. We are running NW04 PL15. I will check the mentioned SAP notes and give feedback.

Kind regards,

I found the reason for my problem in SAP note 905188. In NW04 SP15 the SAP default user SAPJSF only has a "Read-Only" role named "SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO". This default user is needed e. g. to change the password in a web application.

I only added the role "SAP_J2EE_GUEST" to the user default user SAPJSF and restarted the J2EE Engine. So for know it works fine.

Hi,

If you have your ABAP system defined as a source for UME, you can assign the role in SU01. Don't forget to generate the role's profile since they are usually delivered with empty profiles.
