Hi Girish,

Generally we place "Change Password" in the Home page i.e. after we login to portal the firt page what will be visible. Coz the user will want to change his password once he logs in. If in case he forgets then we can implement a feature of forgot Password at Logon page.

For your scenarios 1. Masthead 2.Logon Page

1. At masthead we can add a new link named 'change password' just near ur logoff button .

For achieving this we need to edit the com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par file available at the browse deployement. i.e.

Sysstem admin->support->portal runtime->Browse deployement search for this (com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.par ) at ROOT->Web INF

Use the following code to add a new link at masthead:

When you import this file into SAP NWDS we will get JSP files in that. Choose HeaderIview.jsp. and add this below code before logoff link:

<TD nowrap >

<!--<hbj:link id="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/<APP>.<COMPONENT>" tooltip="<%=helpTooltipStr%>" linkDesign="FUNCTION" reference="javascript:openHelp();"><hbj:textView nested="true" text="<%=helpTextStr%>"/></hbj:link> -->

<hbj:link id="pwd" tooltip="Change Portal Login Password" target="_parent"

linkDesign="FUNCTION" reference="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/<APP>.<COMPONENT>">

<hbj:textView nested="true" text="Change Password"/></font>

</hbj:link>

</TD>

Here <APP>.<COMPONENT> is an application in Portal for changing password.

Using the below blog

2. For adding a new link at the Logon page, we need to edit the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file available at the same place as masthead par file. Import this into NWDS and proceed with UMLogonpage.jsp.

Hope this was useful to you.

Regards,

Shaila

Hi Shaila,

I was wondering whether you could help me as I have the same requirements as Girish and I need to add a change password function to the logon page.

I have tried to follow your Instructions on modifying the Logon page for this but I'm unsure as to where I need to add the code - could you help?

Hi,

Users can change their own password if they are assigned 'eu_role'. Then Personalize link will appear on masthead. From that link, users can change password.

In case, from login page, this has to be done, then 'Logon Problems' link should be available to all the users.

Hi,

Refer this for customizing the logon screen

Hi,

When user clicks 'Get Support' Link in logon page, he gets many options. Choose 'Password Reset'. Enter details and submit. New password is mailed to the user.

For email configuration, go to System Administration -> System Configuration ->UM Configuration -> Notification E-Mails. COnfigure SMTP server details. Make sure all users are created with valid email accounts. Check my answer in this thread.
