Changing SAP System User password

Due to recent security concerns we want to change <ora>sid & <sid>adm passwords. SAP is running with AIX OS.
Is there any SAP tool/script to change it or we can simply change it at OS level and be done with it?

Hi Amit,
OS level goto Computer Management -> Local Users and groups -> check for the user <sid>adm,and also for the group ora_<sid> the same way u can do with AIX OS
regards,

Forgotten Sys and System user passwords

In the case of forgetting the Sys and the System user passwords, is there anyway of logging on with privilages to be able to change these passwords, if not, are there any other solutions?
Thanks,
Nick

In order for "/ as sysdba" to work, you need to run
the password file creation utility (orapwd).
No, it has nothing to do with the password file. In order for "connect / as sysdba" to succeed, it is necessary to have an operating system account which is a member of the "osdba group". In Windows, this OS group is : "ORA_DBA". Any member of this group can and has privileges to connect "/ as sysdba". Again, it has nothing to do with password file.
In Windows there is another condition for it to work :
The file %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\sqlnet.ora must have the following line :
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
In Unix systems, the osdba group is configured at installation and is conventionally named "dba".

Sending special characters to non-unicode non-sap system: user exit

Hello All,
We are sending data from a SAP unicode system to a non-sap non-unicode system via IDOC. The idoc is standard idoc GLMAST which contains gl account information.
Some text fields contained in this idoc can contain special Polish characters. If they are sent unchanged to the non-unicode system, they give problems in the destination system.
What we would like to do is to build a user exit to convert these special characters, for example : 'é' becomes 'e', ....
We used enhancement object ALE00001, function EXIT_SAPLBD11_001 and implemented it, but it seems this exit is not called. Can this user exit be used for this functionality?
We also tried to change in SM59 the type of system of the destination to non-unicode, so that SAP replaces those special characters by #. But, than the error 02. Codepage not found is given in the idoc. Note: the link to the external system is not set up yet, so no actual connection is possible. Is this why we receive this error, and will this functionality work in the end with a non-sap system?
Thanks for helping.
Kind Regards,
Bart Pelsmaekers

I faced this problem in many project i implement below logic.
DATA: c_splchar(2) VALUE '90',
        c_defaultchar(1) type c VALUE '#'.
You have to move one by one character to this function module
          CALL FUNCTION 'URL_ASCII_CODE_GET'
               EXPORTING
                    trans_char = spl_char
               IMPORTING
                    char_code = spl_code.
All non unicode(Better you check) are always greater than 90.
         if spl_code is gt c_splchar.
            move c_defaultchar to c_splchar.
         endif.

XI Installation: SAP System Account+Password- Login failed

Hi All,
This is my first attempt in installing XI.
I have installed SAP Web AS 6.40 ABAP+Java System and am trying to install XI now.
I can also confirm that my J2EE engine is up and running. I ran the J2EE example on HTTP using port 50000.
Here is my basic config:
VMWare with Windows 2003 Server SE, 60Gigs dedicated HDD space, 2Gig RAM, MS SQL Server 2k Enterprise SP4.
My Problem is that when I run the "XI Installation" from "NetWeaver Components Running on Java" I get asked for my SAP System Account's (user: l01adm) password. I know what my password for System account is, but for some reason I get "Invalid Password" error message from SAPInst GUI program.
Since I am very new to SAP Web AS and XI, there could be quite a few reasons why this is not working.
Could anyone please shed some light my direction regarding the possible things that could be causing my problem?
Regards,
-Alen Ribic

Changing a mobile users password has no effect

Hi!
Changing a mobile account users password on the server doesn't work. On a 10.7.4 server I changed a network user's password, who has a mobile account and was connected to the local network, but he could not log in with either the old or the new password?!?!? I could understand if the change didn't work if the user was off site, but shouldn't this "just work"? I tried both in Server.app and WGM, but still not working. When setting the old password on the server again, it worked!
Anyone else had this problem? Any solutions. It has happened to 2 users, same story. Clients are 10.6.8 clients.

Ok, I found out what's wrong.
To "pan" an image you have to change bounds origin of PARENT view.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
CGRect viewRect = CGRectMake(50, 50, 100, 100);
UIView* myView = [self createView:viewRect withColor:[UIColor redColor]];
UIView* childView = [self createView:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50) withColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[myView addSubview:childView];
[window addSubview:myView];
myView.clipsToBounds=TRUE;
myView.bounds=CGRectMake(45, 45, 100, 100);
[myView release];
[childView release];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
-(UIView*) createView:(CGRect)viewRect withColor:(UIColor*)color
UIView* myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:viewRect];
myView.backgroundColor=color;
return myView;
}

Cisco ACS 5.4 + Anyconnect 3.1 NAM with 802.1x, problem with changing ACS Radius user password

Dear all,
Presently, we are testing 802.1x using Cisco ACS 5.4 and Cisco Anyconnect v3.1 as 802.1x supplicant. We have created predefined NAM profiles (with Cisco Profile Editor) and applied as default in on our test machine. We are using PEAP (MsCHAPv2) and ACS local user credentials for authenticating process. We have noticed that, when we try to authenticate the network with predefined profile (network profile has Administrator Network privileges) and Windows user on test machine has no Admin privileges we are not able to change ACS user password (checked "Change password on next login" in the ACS user profile). In the Monitoring and Report View we get Failure Reason "24203 User need to change password" but no popup window apears in Anyconnect. When we change Windows local user privileges to Admin or create Anyconnect network profile localy (privileges User Network) then, we are able to finish the process.
Have you ever been facing the problem described above. Is it Anyconnect bug? How can we fix it?
Best regards,
Piotr

If this happens with all machines then if a microsoft guy can look the app logs/privileges. It seems the app is requesting privilege that it is not authorized to and that's why the propmt window fails to appear. If we know what that privilege is we can probably fix it. If that privilege is not even required for smooth work Cisco need probably to fix this behavior.
I am sorry if I am not able to help but I am not using the anyconnect for production.

Amjad

The impact of changing SAP system time zone.

Hello gurus,
We are in the company located in UTC+8 Time Zone. but during the system installation, the setting in SAP (tcode:STZAC) of the system time zone is CET, which is, not correct, and cause some issues: such as, when we try to send mail via SAP smtp, the sent time in the mail is always wrong.
We tried to modify it to UTC+8, but since we already go live for several months, there're lots of application data in the system. Before that we need to make sure that this change will not affect the current implementation.
Do you experts know the impact or risk of changing the system time zone after going live?
Regards,
Charlie

Lets look at this from a logic perspective, if your system is CET and you are moving to UTC+8 you are going a few hours ahead... so basically you'll find a gap in time in between the documents but you wont find any time conflict. So based on that it should be safe. You certainly need to check your jobs and make sure all necesary jobs will run so you can reschedule them if skipped by the time change (I guess).
Regards
Juan

System user password

Hi all,
we use a rdbms realm instead of the weblogic realm in our system. As I know we
have to provide a system paasword in the weblogic.properties file which can be
overwritten by the system password specified in the dbms. However this doesn't
work with us. The password specified in the weblogic.properties is used.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Dieter

I pump into the same problem. I think that's because the server startup first check
the system user in the fileRealm.properties(or weblogic.properties in 5.1) before
it actually load the custome realm(include the rdbms realm), so you have to define
system in both and the password has to be consistence.
I have read some doc, weblogic says the system user is no more mandatory, but
sounds like it is not that case.

Change SAP Windows user's names

Hi
We have a SAP landscape with 3 systems:
PAD (Development)
PAQ (Quality Assurance)
PAP (Production)
We have also an XI landscape with 2 systems:
XID (Development)
XIP (Production)
Each one is a Windows Server, and this systems were installed in a Windows Domain.
As a result, the following users were automatically defined in the Domain:
<SAPSID>)adm
SAPService<SAPSID>
Now we are going to change all of our servers to another Domain, and in the new domain we canu2019t have the same user names (security name's policy).
We have to use the following names:
SYSVWNV<SAPSID> instead of <SAPSID>adm
SYSVWNA<SAPSID> instead of SAPService<SAPSID>
Does SAP allow to change the names of this users?

Hi,
My First Answer is No and and please dont do this .
I dont think SAP will support.
But Still if you want to go you have to perform lot of R&D specific to your OS.
Most probably you want to look [HERE|http://www.dataxstream.com/2009/08/changeuidsidadm/]
But Still we suggest not to change <sidadm> user id .

Hello Daniela,
you try to perform an offline backup (which is a very uncommon way nowadays) and your SAP system is not down.
This is also described in the official documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/0d/d309664a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm
offline: Database backup in offline mode, in other words, the database is shut down during backup. When you select this parameter, BRBACKUP checks that no SAP system users are connected to the database. If an SAP System is active, the database is not shut down and BRBACKUP terminates the process with an error message (message number BR0068E).

Chang system userid/password for another server instance

It it possible to change the system userid/password for another server
instance. If so , how ?
I would like to allow certain groups to be able to start and stop ONLY their
server without giving out the system account.
Thanks in advance!

the relationship between the infrastructure nodes and the application server nodes is a one to many relationship. The infrastructure home should be the only home that the EMWebsite service has been started for.
the user to log in to em console is ias_admin/<password> if it does not accept the password that you set for this user then try it with caps lock on as you may have had it one when setting the password.
As 9ias release 2 has been designed with a multiple machine install in mind, if you install more than one instance (multiple oracle homes) on the server then you will end up with multiple apache processes and oc4j processes. This means you will be able to connect to 2 apache server homepages under different ports. That is why you get the same page.
