ECC 6.0 upgrade - password reset required

My client upgraded from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 this past weekend.  On Monday morning, we found that a number of users could not log in to ECC 6.0 with their password from 4.6c.  This was the case for only about 10-15% of users who logged in.  A password reset was required for these users.  We haven't been able to determine what caused this issue.  Has anyone else had a similar experience with an upgrade to ECC 6.0?
Our first instinct was that it was an issue with the case-sensitivity of passwords.  However, we've polled a number of users and it appears that the issue was occuring with users who had all-lowercase passwords, all-uppercase passwords and mixed-case passwords.  Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi Daniel,
Sounds to me like you need to make the password downward compatible...
Check that parameter login/password_downwards_compatibility and make sure is downward compatible. I think the correct value is 1

  • NOTICE: Password Reset required

    As explained in a previous notification, it is now necessary for each forum member to perform a one-time Password Reset prior to logging in to the Toshiba Forums. Members cannot log in without first performing this Password Reset.
    To perform a Password Reset, enter the email address associated with your Toshiba Forums account into the form at http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/authentication/forgotpasswordpage and click the 'Reset Password' button, as shown below:
     (You can also get to the Reset Password page by clicking 'Sign In' and then, on the next page, click the 'Need help with your login name or password?' link.)  
    Clicking on 'Reset Password' will result in your being sent an email similar to the image below, with brief instructions and a link for resetting your password.
    Please note that the email will address you by your Toshiba Forums user name.  This is the ID you will use for logging in to the Toshiba Forums from now on (rather than your email address.)
    Click the 'Reset Password' link in the email, then enter your new password into the form on the Reset Password page that you will be linked to.
    It's ok to use the same password that you have been using in the past, so there's no need to learn a new password if you want to continue using your old password, but your Toshiba Forums password has been reset, so you still have to enter it as your new password in the form pictured above. 
    That's all there is to it. Once you've successfully created the new password you will be logged into the Toshiba Forums.  Use your Toshiba Forums user name (as you were addressed in the email) and this password for your future logins.
    For more information about the benefits of this login & registration change, and for a little info about other coming changes, see this previous notification message.

  • Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti viru and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

    Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti virus and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

    As KP has pointed out, there actually aren't any anti-virus programs in the App Store. There are a few that allow you to scan e-mail or stuff like that, and a few that provide you with information about malware and new threats for other systems. But none are available that can scan your iOS device for malware, because the security restrictions in iOS do not permit any apps to have that kind of access to anything. Which means that you also cannot be infected with a virus (unless you have jailbroken your device).
    If your account got compromised, that had nothing whatsoever to do with your iPad. Someone simply hacked it remotely. Happens all the time. It's really amazing that, in this day and age, e-mail providers are so ignorant of technology and how their own systems get compromised that they would try to require you to run software that does not exist!

  • Is multi-factor auth required for self-service password reset and portal registration?

    Hi, hoping someone can give some clarity on this.  I'm dealing with strictly online accounts, no AD sync to local servers.  I have enabled and configured self-service password reset in AzureAD.  In that config I have required users to register
    their alt contact info when logging into the portal.  While testing this, I don't get prompted to register unless I've enabled multi-factor auth for the test user account.  I need users to register in case they need to use SSPR, but I don't want
    to force them into MFA.  I've gone over the following article and it says nothing about requiring MFA for SSPR or forced portal registration to work.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn683881.aspx
    I know there is a separate link for the registration portal that will guide users through the process, but that's a separate link.  Maybe they'll set it up, maybe they won't.  I'd like for the first sign-on to be a smooth process that gets them
    set up for SSPR if needed.  Can someone clarify and point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    Hey acook15,
    I work on the password reset engineering team.  Right now, you are correct, you cannot enforce registration for password reset during first sign in.  This is a feature that we are working on right now, which will be available very soon for sign
    ins to Azure, your connected apps, and the access panel, and will come a bit later for Office 365 sign ins, as well.
    In the interim, you can configure SSPR to require users to register when they access the access panel at myapps.microsoft.com by following the instructions here: http://aka.ms/customizesspr (search for "Require users to register when signing in to the
    access panel?").  
    You can also read more about other ways to get SSPR data in the system for your users here: http://aka.ms/ssprbestpractices.  Let me know if this helps, and if you need to get in contact with me, feel free to email me at [email protected] 
    Regards,

  • Password hint required in password reset through console

    We are using OID to handle our user database. One of the problems we are having is that the forgot password feature through the Oracle Identity Management Provisioning Console doesn't really enforce required fields for password reset. I currently have the orclpasswordhint and orclpasswordhintanswer attributes with the following settings: required, viewable, self-editable, and Password Reset Validation. The problem is that if someone has never set their password hint and answer, it will not ask for them on password reset and will just ask for their email address. While we could probably control this from within the application hooking into OID, we want to be able to force the user to enter this data or be unable to use the console to reset their password.

  • CUP Password Reset funtionality requires users to login using password

    Hi All,
    CUP Password Reset is requiring users to enter user ID and password before resetting the password. Basically, if a user forgets his password, he needs to enter his password to reset it (in other words, it doesn't work).
    Anyone have thoughts on how to resolve this?
    I'm running GRC AC 5.3 SP12.
    CUP is only password reset functionality.
    No LDAP is connected.
    User Master Source is SAP UME.
    Authentication Source is SAP UME.
    Thanks,
    Pete

    Why not?
    You can configure CUP not to require login and use challenge response for resets.
    In my opinion this is the least preferrable option, as it requires every user to register and will move support effort from resetting passwords to resetting password questions, which users tend to forget just as often.
    It also leaves the possibility for imposters to register (as you don't require a login...) which allows you to reset any password if you're fast enough...
    I'm sticking to my recommendation - LDAP authentication is the best option.
    Frank.

  • OSX Server password reset portal doesn't communicate password requirements

    Here's the story:
    We are migrating our users to a new fileserver running OSX Server 2.2.2 on 10.8 from an existing 10.4 server.  We have prepopulated the user accounts with the same login names as our old server, and set temporary passwords for each user that they will need to reset.  The plan was to have each user set their custom password via the built in web portal.  We've got Windows and Mac Users, so we are expecting at least the windows users will have to set their passwords this way, as the Mac users can be forced to reset their password at first login.
    The issue is that we are are implementing stronger password requirements on the new server, but the password reset portal doesn't seem to communicate that at all.  When entering the existing password, and a new password that is not strong enough, we get the error:  "Your password could not be changed.  Please retype your old password and try again" which is misleading because it is an issue with the new password being too weak, not the old password being incorrect.
    Is this normal behavior for this reset portal?  It's pretty basic, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's just the way it is, but we are looking for a way to keep it as simple as possible for our users, and to avoid unnecessary confusion.
    For the record, our password requirements are:
    password minimum length = 8 characters
    passwords must contain:
    at least one letter
    at least one number
    at least one special character
    differ from last 5 passwords used
    be reset on first login

    Another helpful forum user said:
    Then you might try this procedure to create a new administrator account:
    http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/10/forgot-mac-password-how-to-reset-mac-password/
    Which i tried. I ran through the help link above which all seemed to work until the end... and i got this error...
    Which means i couldn't get to the part that sets up a new user. :-(

  • How to force password policy requirements on password resets for user accounts reset by the Administrator?

    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
    Domain Level: 2008
    Forest Level: 2000
    We have Domain Administrators in our domain that reset passwords for user accounts, and the passwords the Administrators set them to are not being enforced follow our default domain password policy. For example, I log on the domain controller, as an administrator
    and can reset a password for a user account to be blank. 
    Is there a reason Domain Administrator password resets for user accounts are not enforced by our default domain password policy? Is there a way to enforce this on password resets by Domain Admins? 

    Do you have fine grant password policy? If not ; by default all the usrs are effected by domain level password policy even domain admins,

  • New users with Global Password Policy requiring password "reset on first user login" are still prompted to reset password after entering incorrect password

    The setup:
    We have the option "Password must: be reset on first user login" enabled in the Global Password Policy on our 10.9 / Mavericks server. We import new user accounts into Open Directory via a delimited text file and include a default password for each user.
    What I've observed and tested:
    When a user attempts to log into a computer that's bound to our Open Directory for the first time, they can enter anything in the password field and still receive the prompt to reset their password. They are never notified that they entered their default password incorrectly. The password reset will then fail (as it should), but they still aren't notified that this is the reason for the password reset failure. To put it another way: Seeing the prompt to reset your password would reasonably imply that you entered the default password correctly, but that's not the case at all.
    The question:
    Is this expected behavior? If it is, it doesn't seem logical. If this was the case in OS X Server 10.3 through 10.7 I never noticed it. Can anyone corroborate this with their own setup? Thanks in advance.
    -- Steve

    Some follow up questions:
    - How did you migrate (dsmig ldif or binary import)
    - Did the accounts in .x have any custom password policies set?
    For a "new" and a migrated entry, can you check if a passwordpolicysubentry is configured?
    (search as directory manager and fetch the attribute)

  • Apple ID not found. I know it exists because last password reset was on 3/2012. Did Apple delete my Apple ID?

    So first I was having trouble resetting my Apple ID password. Now I think it may have been deleted. e
    I automatically got signed out of Game Center and Find My Friends for which I use a different Apple ID account for. I think this happened after I upgraded to iOS 6 but not sure. I've tried to reset the password on http://appeid.apple.com using the two options.
    Option 1) I don't get the email verification in my inbox (looked everywhere, even spam folder. I even added the [email protected] address to my contacts to make sure it wasn't being sent to a spam box, etc.).
    Option 2) I enter my birthday but I get a message that it doesn't match with the records.
    So then I went through the steps to find my Apple ID if it existed and what do you know, it says "No Apple ID found".
    Could my Apple ID have been deleted? I thought Apple ID's "could not be deleted"? I know this Apple ID does exist (or did?) because my last password reset was in March 2012. I still have the old emails to prove it. I'll be so annoyed if it got deleted and all my Game Center stats are erased. (I got 11,600,000 in Temple Run!)
    Other information:
    I do have another Apple ID account which I use as my main account for purchases. For the rescue email and an alternate email address for this account, I use the email which is also the username of the other Apple ID account I am questioning about. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but just thought I'd put it out there in case it is.
    Has this happened to anyone else? 2     
    I swear, this whole Apple ID nonsense started for me when trying to set up Facetime across devices on my macbook and ipad and had to make new apple ids. So confusing. Anyway, thanks in advance for any insight into this dilemma.

    I'm having the same problem, what did you do?

    You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
    You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
    You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
    In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.

  • Top 2 workable way to Create Windows 7 Password Reset Disk in any condition

    We have included SAP_HR and other Support Package as per the queue generated by Solution Manager, but we did not include VIRSAHR & VIRSANH Packages until we got to this phase. We then included these support packages in eps\in directory, but we are now getting this error now.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Chandu

    Hi
    This is what the solution provided by SAP Support:
    Quote:
    we have finally found the problem, it's a bug in the package upload
    functionality used by the upgrade. The consequence of this bug is that
    Support Packages whose EPS files (.PAT files) have a certain string in
    the name, namely the string 0000000 after the _ and before .PAT
    extension, are not properly uploaded to the ABAP system and hence are
    not visible or known to the upgrade.
    This bug will be fixed in the next upgrade tool fix, but in the meantimeyou can use the following workaround:
    Check your EPS/in directory after the CAR/SAR Archives of the SPs are
    extracted and rename all .PAT and .ATT files, which have a name like
    *_0000000.PAT (or *_0000000.ATT), by changing the string 0000000 to
    9000000. For example, for the VIRSANH SP SAPK-52302INVIRSANH rename the
    file VS30020106486_0000000.PAT to VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
    Afterwards, the upgrade will upload the informations about the SP
    properly and the SP can be included into the upgrade.
    Files:
    31/01/2007 07:32 329 VS30020106486_0000000.ATT
    31/01/2007 07:32 554,073 VS30020106486_0000000.PAT
    If these two files are renamed to e.g.
    VS30020106486_9000000.ATT
    VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
    the affected VIRSANH SP2 is uploaded correctly by the upgrade
    functionality and the SP inclusion of the VIRSANH SPs works.
    Sorry, as of now I cannot promise you a date when the tool fix will be
    available. I have found this bug only today in the evening (german time)and will discuss this with the responsible colleagues tomorrow.
    Afterwards, I will know more...
    Unquote:
    Hope this helps. We have decided against upgrading to 530_700 as it will involve upgrading GRC system and also new version has lot of new functionalities, which we like explore it after the ECC upgrade.
    Also, I would not suggest deleting VIRSAHR as all the config and customising done for VIRSAHR will be lost.
