How to change R/3 user's password through Java application

[former_member225041]

Hello,

I want to change the SAP R/3 user's password from java application.

What are the ways to get it done ?

Is there any standard BAPI to achieve the desired result ?

Thanks in advance.

BAPI_USER_CHANGE should do the trick. You might want to take a look at [OSS note 1287410 - BAPI_USER_CHANGE: Set productive password|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1287410] or alternatively check out SUSR_USER_CHANGE_PASSWORD_RFC (but the BAPI is really the way to go and the latter RFC is just a dirty hack as far as I remember).

p.s.: If you search on SDN you'll find plenty of postings on that topic...
