Hi All

We have SAP MDM test environment, where right now we do not have password to MDM server. We would like to change password not to be blank.

Can you tell me what are the consequences for doing so? For example each time we have to log on with our user password and Server password when we would like to perform some actions?

I was asked to get list of all functions we will have to user server password after we will change it from blank.

our pasword is blank here:

Open MDM Console

mount server

right click - choose change password

Thank you very much.

I was trying to find answer in manuals, but right now with no success.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Michal,

Usually, in most of MDM Projects we keep it as blank only. But if you want to set Server level password you can go ahead with it. The difference it makes 1stly User should know the Server level (MDM Server) password before accessing to repository level (MDM repository) using MDM console. So this is further one level of restriction, If the user know repository password but still he can't access it using MDM console until unless he knows the Server(MDM Server) level password.

Hi Sani

Thank you for your replay. Can you tell me how complex operations in daily basis we will have after creating a password?

If many functions will require to log on, then maybe is not valid to do it.

Our plan is to move some of the SAP MDM User Administration tasks to other IT department. Therefore I believe is good idea not to have "blank" password.

Do you know what is general "the best MDM procedures" to move some tasks to other delartments? It is good idea to spleat tasks between departments or rathernot, maybe only one "SAP MDM department" should perform all the tasks in MDM area?

Thank you in advanced.

HI,

I DON'T THINK IT IS GOOD TO PUT SERVER LEVEL PASSWORD IF YOU INTENTION IS TO SEPARATE SOME MDM TASK TO

ADMIN DEPARTMENT.

BECAUSE IF YOU PUT PASSWORD THEN EACH USER NEED TO KNOW THE PASSWORD OF SERVER TO DO ANY TYPE OF MDM TASK.

THIS SERVER PASSWORD JUST ONE LEVEL OF SECURITY TO ALL MDM GUYS NOT JUST ONE TYPE OF USERS.

WHAT KINF OD TASK YOU WANT TO ASSIGN ADMIN GUYS.

ALL DEPEND UPON THE REQUIREMENT WE CAN SUGGEST HOW YOU CAN ACHIEVE THAT.

THANKS,

Hi

Thank you very much for your information. All that details are very important.

We would like to move tasks as: reset passwords, create new users in SAP MDM repositories.

We do not want our User Administration users to be able to stop/start servers or change any password, special if it is blank.

Do you think it is good idea to move administration tasks to different department or it can create challenges?

Thank you for replay.
