Authenticating a user using JCO

Question

Hi,
I was authenticating a user in SAP using the following code:
   System.out.println("\n\nVersion of the JCO-library:\n" + "----
\n"
                    + JCO.getMiddlewareVersion());
            Properties props = new Properties();
            props.put("jco.client.client", "800");
            props.put("jco.client.user", "gk1");
            props.put("jco.client.passwd", "password");
            props.put("jco.client.lang", "EN");
            props.put("jco.client.sysnr", "01");
            props.put("jco.client.ashost", "172...*");
            client = JCO.createClient(props);
            // Open the connection
            client.connect();
Here, the password for the "gk1" user is "password". Now if I update the password to be "password1" in the code - the user is still authenticated. No matter how many times I add digits towards the end of the password for this user, it still gets authenticated. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Gaurav,
In SAP R/3 system, it takes only 8 digit password for any user. So, it checks upto 8 characters only. No metter how much digits or characters you have appended.
Try to give some other password instead of just appending digits or characters behing "password".
