HeaderVariableLoginModule and expired password

24 Views

Hi all,

we are accessing the SAP Portal (SAP EP 7.0) via a separate entry-server which is responsible for the authentication.

The userid of the authenticated user is transported to the SAP Portal via HTTP-Header. On the Portal side we use the standard SAP HeaderVariableLoginModule which reads

the userid from the HTTP Header and checks if the

User is available in the UME.

UME is connected to an external ABAP system.

Everything works perfect as long as the password

of the users stored in the ABAP system is valid.

If the password expired, the portal shows a screen

where the user should change the password.

This is not possible, because firstly the user does

not know his password in the ABAP system and secondly the UME has only READ rights in the ABAP system.

Any help is appreciated

Regards

Karin
