J2EE_ADMIN password change problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

Installed PI/XI (NW2004s).I did not start configuration yet.

Just After that, I tried logging into Visual Administrator, I encountered “Password expiry problem.”

I tried to login into Visual Administrator and provided login credentials and "Password Change" Window appeared.

I entered oldPassword and newpasswords and clicked "change" button. It brings me back to the same "Password change screen" again and again.

I tried changing J2EE_ADMIN password from UME also. But still the same problem. I looked at Visual administrator log files and found the following error at

/usr/sap/XID/DVEBMSG01/j2ee/admin/log/traces

Do let me know where in configtool can i change this property so that i can change J2EE engine password.

Siva,

The user J2EE_ADMIN cannot change its password, because the ABAP system is read-only. Either you need to make the connection to your ABAP system read-write (give SAPJSF the read-write version of the connection role), or you need to log in to your ABAP system directly as J2EE_ADMIN and change the password there.

See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/8f/67d27676ace84080964d4c4223bb3c/frameset.htm

- <b>First you have to check what is the client set by parameter</b> ume.r3.connection.master.client

- Then log on to the ABAP system in this client

- Access SU01 and change the password of user J2EE_ADMIN

- Log off from the system and access again with the user J2EE_ADMIN

- You will be asked to change the initial password

- Then in Config Tool, select the 'Secure Store' node, and change the

parameter admin/password/J2EE_ADMIN with the new password

- Restart the J2EE Engine

- Try to log again in to Visual Administrator

Hi Siva,

Try opening Visual Admin if your not able to login with username(administrator) and password. Problem with NWD2004s do the following steps.

C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC01\j2ee\configtool->configtool.bat->open it

1. Click on Secure store

2. Right you will find :

admin/password/J2E->retype your admin passowrd which you gave during installation=>SAVE properly

Restart the server and try login visual admin
