SAP: Password wizard

Out of the box SAP only accepts password based logon as the mechanism for authentication. But the standard password wizard in SAP gives you a generic password containing about 40 characters – inlc. special characters, capital letters and other complication mechanisms.

So to use the standard password wizard is more or less impossible. Or is it…

Table PRGN_CUST gives you the possibility of customizing the rules for the password wizard. So you can now control the rules for a default generated password. Meaning that it is now usable for the administrators and the end users can understand the password.

Following parameters can be used within table PRGN_CUST:

• GEN_PSW_MAX_DIGITS
• GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH
• GEN_PSW_MAX_LETTERS
• GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS

…. at the same time remember to review the rules for illegal passwords. They are implemented in table USR40  :)
