how does "login/min_password_lng" change effects the current passwords

Former Member

Hi All,

We are planing to use "login/min_password_lng" to increase the minimum length of the password. When we make this parameter change the password, will it force all users to change immediately or will they simply have to adhere to the new params on their next scheduled change?

Thanks and Regards,

Aruran Rasarathnam

Hi Auran,

the rule only gets valid at next password change of the user. But you can force the users to change their passwords according to SAP note 862989 with parameter

login/password_compliance_to_current_policy.

Note that the parameter mentioned by Bernhard is dynamic so you can change it on-the-fly and it does not affect SYSTEM and SERVICE type users as these typically have saved logon data which should be changed in a co-ordinated way and not by the user ID themselves.

Cheers,
