Hi,

We had a system user id (Background) which got locked.

the message in SM21 says "Incorrect login"

As per my knowledge, the system id will not get locked for incorrect login.

Please correct me if i am wrong

I searched the service market place and did not get the right notes for the same

System user does get locked as it has a password set . If incorrect passwords are used , then the account gets locked.

This is the explanation for various user types.

Dialog (A)

  • User type for exactly one interactive user (all logon types including Internet users):
  • During a dialog log on, the system checks whether the password has expired or is initial. The user can change his or her password himself or herself.
  • Multiple dialog logons are checked and, where appropriate, logged.

System (B)

  • User type for background processing and communication within a system (internal RFC calls).
  • A dialog logon is not possible.
  • The password change requirement does not apply to the passwords, that is, they cannot be initial or expired. Only a user administrator can change the password
  • Multiple logons are permissible.

Communications (C)

  • User type for dialog-free communication between systems (such as RFC users for ALE, Workflow, TMS, and CUA):
  • A dialog logon is not possible.
  • Whether the system checks for expired or initial passwords depends on the logon method (interactive or not interactive). Due to a lack of interaction, no request for a change of password occurs.

Service (S)

  • User type that is a dialog user available to a larger, anonymous group of users. Assign only very restricted authorizations for this user type:
  • During a log on, the system does not check whether the password has expired or is initial. Only the user administrator can change the password (transaction SU01, Goto ® Change Password).
  • Multiple logons are permissible.
  • Service users are used, for example, for anonymous system accesses through an ITS service. After an individual authentication, an anonymous session begun with a service user can be continued as a person-related session with a dialog user.

You should also check with which user id is the step in your job is running. If that is locked ?
