Change SAP BI Password from BO Client Tools / Infoview, SAP Authentication

Hi,
We are using SAP BI BO Integration Kit (BO XI 3.1, SAP BI 7.0) & able to use SAP BI Queries with WebI, Xcelsius etc.
For a user group, we would be providing only Infoview access (using SAP Authentication). This means we would not want to install any BO Client Tools, SAP GUI or SAP Integration Kit Client, on user desktop.
We are faced with a issue - How does the user change password from Infoview (this is an SAP BI User ID used to login from Infoview).
Initial Password of SAP BI User cannot be changed from Infoview, since it doesnot prompt for changing the Initial Password.
Any ideas how to handle this situation.
regards,
Rajesh K Sarin

Hi Erwin,
no. Also within BI4 you are not able to change your SAP password.
The Workaroung of Ingo is very suitable using SAP GUI for HTML.

Distribution of password from master client to other clients

hi,
I have created a small program to distribute the password from one client to other clients by using a function module SUSR_USER_CHANGE. It works fine though I have a little problem . The explanation comes here. The function module looks different from kernel-release 701. It has an extra import parameter "Productive_pwd" and if this parameter is "checked" it means that you don't have/force to change the password when you try to logon on the sap system.
But from kernel-release 700 and below the parameter "productive_pwd" doesn't exist and after distribution of password you force/have to change the password again when logon to sap system.
How can I change/distribute the password without changing it when logging to the system for kernel-release 700 and below?

hi Rob,
Actually the function module SUSR_USER_CHANGE call the function SUSR_USER_PASSWORD_PUT and it has the parameter called Password_status as you can see below. But in kernel-release 700 this parameter is not visible even though it exists.
So from kernel release 701 the value of parameter "productive_pwd" from FM SUSR_USER_CHANGE pass to parameter "password_status" from SUSR_USER_PASSWORD_PUT.

Changing db2 mainframe password from java

Hey guys
Is there any way we could change the DB2 password from java program.
thanks,
Balaji

My current appliccation has a swing based front end.
From this front end we access DB2 DB which runs on mainframe.
Based on user name and password authentication we determine the screen access for the users. Now the problem is there are users who dont access the DB directly other than for changing the password .
All other details they need they access from our application.
So if it is possible for them to change the password also from our application then they need not directly connect to the data base. Hope i am clear.
Thanks
Balaji

junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

XI 3.1 Client Tools and LDAP Authentication

I have Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 installed. For the web clients (InfoView) single sign on and LDAP authentication are working correctly. However when a user tries to log in using LDAP authentication to one of the client tools (Universe Designer, Webi Rich Client, etc) the error "Cannot access the repository (USR0013)" occurs with the following details:
[repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin.(hr=#0x80042a01)
Are there troubleshooting or setup guides dealing specifically with LDAP authentication with the various client tools?

Make sure that the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks component is installed and enabled on your clients.
Take a look at note 1272536 (http://service.sap.com/notes)

Connecting to DirectAccess server from a client behind proxy with authentication

Hi,
All our DA clients are working fine except those that are working from a client company where a proxy with authentication is used.
Our DA server is running Windows server 2012 and clients are running Windows 7.
I have found similar posts, where it states it is a known issue and it is fixed by a new feature in Windows 2012, however i cannot find more info:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831416.aspx
IP-HTTPS runs in a system context rather than a user context. This context can cause connection issues. For example, if a DirectAccess
client computer is located in the network of a partner company that uses a proxy for Internet access, and WPAD auto detection is not used, the user must manually configure proxy settings in order to access the Internet. These settings are configured in Internet
Explorer on a per user basis, and cannot be retrieved in an intuitive way on behalf of IP-HTTPS. In addition, if the proxy requires authentication, the client provides credentials for Internet access, but IP-HTTPS will not provide the credentials required
to authenticate to DirectAccess. In Windows Server 2012, a new feature solves these issues. Specifically, the user can configure IP-HTTPS to work when behind a proxy that is not configured using WPAD and IP-HTTPS will request and provide the proxy credentials
needed to IP-HTTPS request authenticated, and relay it to the DirectAccess server.

Hello,
As far as I know it's a feature of Windows 2012 URA with a Windows 8 client.
Unfortunatelly you will have trouble with proxy authentication with Windows 7 client I think

Is it possible to change a SAP BW password from the BI Launchpad?

Hello,
We are currently running:
Business Objects 4.1 SP4
Apache Tomcat Web Server
SAP BW 7.3 SP 7, ABAP stack only
We are using SAP BW as our primary EDW with BI 4.1 as a front end for Reporting and Analytics. SAP Authentication is enabled in BOBJ and that is used as the authentication method for all users. The majority of our user have no reason to ever log onto BW as all of their BI content is attainable through the BI Launchpad. (Analysis and Design Studio)
When a new user is created in BW, it is mandatory by policy for them to change their password upon first login. However, the only way they can do this is by logging in to the SAP GUI to BW. Can this be achieved somehow through the BI Launchpad?
Thank you
Scott

It is not possible to change it in LaunchPad unfortunately, workarounds are discussed here:

Unable to change domain logon password from Windows 8.1 system

We are facing a new problem in our domain. Users working on windows 8.1 platform are not able to change the password and getting an error "the security database on the server does not have a computer for this workstation". I tried deleting the
computer from domain and rejoined to the domain but did not help.
We are running Windows 2008 standard 64 bit Domain Controller and Active Directory functional level is Windows Server 2003. Please help with a solution.

Thanks Marius, but we do not have R2.. It is just Win 2008 Std with SP2
The same applies to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 as well so far I know, you have to call Microsoft and ask for back-port hotfix. Can you check if the password has been updated for the krbtgt account?
You can use repadmin lik this, just replace the DCNAME and the DN to much your own environment:
repadmin /showobjmeta eur-fle-dc02 "CN=krbtgt,CN=users,DC=e
r,DC=corp,DC=chrisse,DC=com"
35 entries.

Note "2" for unicodePwd it means that the password for the account has been updated 2 times.
If the above doesn't apply to you, have you changed any ACLs recently? and dose it work on Windows 7 for example?

TS3899 After changing my gmail password from my laptop, I can no longer access gmail on my iPhone.

I've entered my new password many times and exchange tells each time that either my account name or password is incorrect. I deleted my account from exchange and re-set it up, no help. I rebooted the phone, no help. Gmail works just fine on my laptop. Please help.
IPhone 4s, iOS7.1

Sounds like you restored your phone as new. If you follow all the steps, there a section that allows you to restore from a backup either through icloud or itunes.
You do have a backup of your phone right? If you don't then all is gone, but you can sync back your apps and music.

Cannot make changes or remove password from sheet.

I have a spreadsheet in the newest version of Numbers.
The size is approximately 20 MB
I cannot edit the spreadsheet in any way on the Mac because the whole application crashes.
I can (slowly) edit the file on iOS devices, but the changes do not always save.
I had originally placed a password on the file, but decided to remove it. After I do this I get an error on iOS devices that "Spreadsheet cannot be opened".
This is a comedy of errors. Has anyone else seen this or have a Decent suggestion? Is there any way to get Apple to look into this mess?

I have "restored" my Nano via the button in iTunes and it correctly loaded everything back onto the Nano. There was no change in the problem I'm having. When viewing the contents of my Nano in iTunes everything is gray and cannot be deleted and I cannot add content to the Nano.
Switching the lock button on the Nano has no affect but I do see the lock on the display go on/off so that appears to be working properly. All functions of the Nano seem to be working properly. I can play music, pod casts, shake to shuffle. It's just not working with iTunes.

Call SAP GUI txn from WD4A running in the SAP GUI

I'm somewhat new to Web Dynpro and I'm trying to evaluate the use of WD4A as our main custom screen/txn platform. I have written a simple application. I created a transaction code that calls WDYID and launches my WD4A application in the SAP GUI.
Our company does a lot of "CALL TRANSACTION" in our normal dynpro development and I need to prove out that it is possible to do the same in WD4A. I've used the following code to try and call a transaction:
CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->create_external_window
    EXPORTING
      url           =
'http://<host>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=<client>&~TRANSACTION=VA03'
     title          = 'Display Orderl'
*    MODAL          = ABAP_FALSE
*    HAS_MENUBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
*    IS_RESIZABLE   = ABAP_TRUE
*    HAS_SCROLLBARS = ABAP_TRUE
*    HAS_STATUSBAR = ABAP_TRUE
*    HAS_TOOLBAR    = ABAP_TRUE
*    HAS_LOCATION   = ABAP_TRUE
    RECEIVING
      window         = lo_wd_window.
The problem with this is that when called from the SAP GUI, it launches a browser. I would like for it to go directly to the WebGUI version of VA03.
Is this possible?

Hi Adam,
you should be able to suspend to an ITS call.
- however you might fall foul of a bug - fixed in note 1255292 (Special characters not permitted for suspend/redirect)
Not sure if this is what is causing the issue...
Can you not pass parameters to the transaction using the CL_WDR_SAPGUI_INTEGRATION2->FIRE method?
this is what is called by the FIRE_START_TRANSACTION method, but allows for additional parameters.(I've never used it myself so I'm not sure that it would work, but would be interesting to find out - could you let us know?)
Cheers,
Chris

Problem exporting PDF from Crystal after installing BO BI Client Tools

Hi there, I am running Crystal Reports 2011 and after installing SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4 Client Tools Crystal reports crashes when I try to export a report as a PDF. I have reinstalled Crystal from scratch twice, the second time even cleaning the registry before installing with no success. Any ideas?

You would have to uninstall the current version and then install one of the 4.0 versions. The issue is that your client tools version should really be exactly the same as your version of BO. If you run into any issues and have to open a support case, the first thing SAP will have you do is upgrade the Client Tools.
Another option that you have would be to upgrade to the latest SP of Crystal 2011 and see if that makes a difference.
Also, anything that was written in CR 2011 will run fine in CR 2013 - there weren't really any features added in 2013, just the name was changed, so the two are basically interchangeable.

Problems in Changing LDAP (AD) Initial Password from Portal

Hello ,
We are using EP 7.01 SP 05 with Microsoft AD as our user data store (flat structure).
For newly created users on AD, we are wanting them to be able to change their initial passwords from portal (on their first logon).
SSL is set up between EP and AD.
The user we are using to access LDAP has write privileges.
We are using a standard configuration file (writeable version) (dataSourceConfiguration_ads_writeable_db.xml)
We are able to modify users from User Administration console (including password change) without any problem.
However, there are two problems we are facing:
1. If the flag "User must change password at first logon" is set on AD/LDAP, then on Portal the user is not getting prompted for changing password - and User authentication failed
2. If the flag "User must change password at first logon" is NOT set on AD/LDAP, then - User is getting prompted to change the password" - however password change is not going through successfully - Error says - "Missing".
From logs I can see the following error:
#1.5#0050568767DE006B0000000700005D7C00048EC433D5B0FC#1282873241046#com.sap.security.core.persistence#sap.com/irj#com.sap.security.core.persistence.[cf=com.sap.security.core.persistence.datasource.imp.LDAPPersistence][md=changePassword][cl=64495]#Guest#0#SAP J2EE Engine JTA Transaction : [044ffffffd35700451]#n/a##19ae55e0b17c11dfb0d00050568767de#SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_23##0#0#Error##Java###Can not change password

Can any one pls suggest what is this error about and what I am missing.
Thanks ,
Shanti

Hello All,
Thank you for your time and valuable replies.
I got rid of the "Missing" error and now I am one step away from the solution.
Now I am at a stage where: (for a user with initial password on LDAP)
1. In AD if "User needs to change password on next logon" flag is NOT set - user can successfully logon to portal. (without being prompted for password change)
2. In AD if "User needs to change password on next logon" flag is set - then user cannot logon to portal - I get User authentication failed error.
I have went through a lot of discussions around this topic on SDN and different SAP Notes. I have tried to maintain UME Security policy as close as possible to LDAP (I cannot make it exactly same due to some differences in LDAP and UME).
However, when and administrator can change passwords from UME successfully without any problem - it means that:
- Security policy is being met
- Service user used to communicate to LDAP has all the required access
The only missing piece of the puzzle is how to enable the users to be able to change their passwords (with initial or expired passwords).
According to Note 865399 - the default value for The property ume.ldap.access.set_pwd is TRUE.
Also the property ume.ldap.access.pwd.via.usercontext can only be TRUE when ume.ldap.access.set_pwd is set to FALSE.
So, I have tried setting the following without any success:
<ume.ldap.access.pwd.via.usercontext>true</ume.ldap.access.pwd.via.usercontext>
<ume.ldap.access.set_pwd>false</ume.ldap.access.set_pwd>
Thanks,
Shanti
