Impact of changing the user type of users from Communication to System user

1279 Views

Hi Experts,

Due to change in password policy we are required to make changes to below mentioned profile parameters and hence would like to know your advice on few questions :

login/min_password_lng

login/password_max_idle_initial

login/password_change_waittime

login/password_charset

Below mentioned are the purpose of communication users in the existing landsacpe:

Standard sap user used for RFC connections

communication user which is to be used for the Segregation of Duties proof of concept work

RFC Connection for Central User Admin

User for creating RFC connection with the Gentran application

Used for the ALE connection between SAP R/3 and OPS SAP systems .

For the Travel & Expenses application ( Infor XM ) to call a HTTP service held on SAP system to retrieve exchange rate information. Duration = forever

Created to communicate with the Production System via RFC Connection

Running scheduling background jobs and interfaces

Standard sap user used for RFC connections with utilites like Ixos,HPOMS.

1.In our existing landsacpe there are certain users with user type as communication , as per SAP note 862989 only Service and System users are exempt from password policy so will it be fine to change the user type of the existing users from communication to system users ? Will there be any sort of issue if the user type of the exisiting users is changed from communication to system , please provide your suggestion w.r.t the password parameter that are mentioned above ?

2.Both system as well communication users can be used in RFC connection , what else are the points that should be taken care while decidiing the user type of users or system and communication users are interchangable (apart from the password policy restriction for communication users ) ?
