How do you enforce the rule that passwords should not contain repeating characters. Ex. Abba (or) A33b

Thanks.

Hi,

your only option is to use table USR40. But it's going to be painful. Other approach could be to manage passwords outside of SAP system. SSO or IdM could help you.

Thanks Martin.

In the absence of SSO or IDM, how best can we achieve this requirement by table USR40.

Thanks.

Hi,

check SAP documentation. Basically, you will need to maintain record for every combination (eg. *33* and *bb*). That's why I said it would be painful.

BTW how did you get that requirement? Honestly, forcing users to not have repeated characters in their passwords is not a good policy.

Cheers
