Hi Gurus:

I am working in Sap Enterprise 4.7, without portal, when I reset the password of the any user ( SU01), is posible to send him, direct from SAP, the new password by e-mail ?

Thank in Advanced.

There are a number of ways of doing this, but SU01 itself is probably not the best nor easiest option.

Depending on how you want this to work (how much user interaction from the admin is needed) and how well managed your mail accounts of the users are (to whom this will then also be sent....) you can easily develop anything between admin entered (or wizarded) pwd is sent by mail, or admin just clicks a "Reset" button for the user and it goes off and a self-service password reset which the user can use themselves to request a new password.

If you search the forum here for "BAPI_USER_CHANGE" as search term and describe a bit more which scenario is possible then it is possible to make more appropriate comments to help you.

Of course, if resetting passwords is a major pain for you, then you can also consider single-sign-on (SSO).

From my experiences SSO adds some new technical aspects which you need to master, but it is not too difficult and you can eliminate the hassles and some of the risks relating to password management (and sharing, etc).

Hope that helps you further.

Cheers,

Well, We have tried and tested scenario wherein if the mail id is maintained in the internet mail field on the address tab in the communication field group and communication type set to internet mail.

You can develop a program for password reset through your development team and schedule it to run periodically in the background. This program checks for user ids which have been locked due to incorrect logons and unlocks and resets them and sends them a mail to their official ids. It works well in our organization because we have a very good system in place for unique ids in all applications SAP and Non-SAP and fully secured.
