Vendor mapping and password resets in EP7

44 Views

Good day,

This is my first thread, so please bare with me.

I'm currently faced with a challenge regarding Vendor mappings and password resets.

We make use of EP7.0 and Netweaver 2004s for the backend. SRM version is 5.0. We map the vendors in the portal to the relevant backend systems. After setting the passwords for the vendors in the backend, we have to log in with the ID's to hard set the passwords. The vendors are set as dialog users and thus their passwords need to be reset regularly, in our case, every 30 days.

My question is this: Is there a better way of managing the vendor mappings, like for instance making them service users which removes the need to change passwords, as from what I understand, it's actually the vendor groups that are mapped to backend users and not every user that belongs to the vendor group. The users still need to log onto the portal with their passwords.

Any ideas are welcome.

John
