No password change popup window when user logins with initial password

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Recently we have done below Password Policy changes in MES portal dev systems and restarted those systems.

ume.logon.security_policyenforce_policy_at_logon - FALSE ume.logon.security_policy.lock_after_invalid_attempts - 6 ume.logon.security_policy.password_alpha_numeric_required - 1 ume.logon.security_policy.password_change_allowed - TRUE ume.logon.security_policy.password_expire_days - 90 ume.logon.security_policy.password_history - 5 ume.logon.security_policy.password_max_idle_time - 0 ume.logon.security_policy.password_min_length - 8 ume.logon.security_policy.password_special_char_required - 1 ume.logon.security_policy.userid_in_password_allowed - FALSE

But We have checked and found that user is not getting password change popup window when he logins with initial password. Any suggestion in this regard will be helpful. Our work has got stuck due to this issue.

Thanks.

Dear Srikanth,

No initial password change popup should not be possible, only in case this kind of users are assigned to “Technical user” policy. If this is the case they will not be asked for password change. Otherwise all users assigned to “Default” or any custom security policy will be asked for password change.

Be informed that a technical User is a user assigned to “Technical User” security policy, not some custom one. See online help for more details:

So I would recommend to check whether affected users are assigned to “Technical User” security policy. If this is the case remove these users from “Technical User” security policy and assign them a default or any other custom one.

Hello Srikanth,

1.)

Have you defined an Initial Password for the users as

1.Search for and select a user.

2.In the Details view, choose the Modify pushbutton.

3.On the General Information tab, select the Define Initial Password radio button.

4.Enter the new password in the Define Password field and reenter it in the Confirm Password field.

5. Save your entries.

If you have implemented this the system sends the user a notification e-mail containing the new password and prompts him or her to change this password the next time he or she logs on.

2.)

When defining or changing passwords, note the following:

• You must enable e-mail notification for when you define or change passwords, otherwise the system cannot notify users of their new password.

• E-mail notification sends the logon passwords in plain text.

3.)

Please ensure there are no active pop-up blockers in the browser settings.

Hi Milen,

Yes, normally I defined an Initial Password and send the password through mail.

but users should get the popup to change the password when they are login with initial password.

After the password parameter changes in 4 MES test systems they can able to login directly to the MES system with initial password itself no popup for password change.

but in one of the MES systems sap version is upgraded from SPS 01 to SPS16 and now in that MES system popup is coming when any new users are login with initial password.

Do you suggest what may be the issue
