Force User to enter new password

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to force some of our users to enter a new password when they logon to SAP the next time?
The only way I would know is to give them a new password in SU01 and email it to them. But this would be a lot of work. We do not want to change the password settings in general, as most of our users should not be affected by this.
Does anyone know a differerent way? Maybe to set a flag in the user or a table?
Thanks for any help.

you could change parameter
login/password_expiration_time
to - let's say 1 and restart all of the instances of that special system. after one day all users would have to change their passwort.
you could then reset the parameter to 0 (or to whatever value you think adequate) on all instances of the system and restart them ...
thus having forced all your users to change the password at least once.

Cannot force users to set new password

Hi I have a Intel Xserve running Server 10.5.8
My system is running DNS and is an OD master
I have approx 30 users connected to system
most are using Portable Home Directories, some are using network accounts.
It has been decreed that all users need to change their passwords and use a combination of letters, numbers and a set amount of characters.
I have set up the policy in OD for users and set it to "change password at first login" - This is NOT working on existing accounts and is NOT workig on newly created test accounts either.
I have then gone into WGM > User > Advanced - and have set up the policy for the user there also, but still is not enforcing the password change or policy.
Can anyone point me at some helpful information as to how I can overcome this problem, preferably without rebuilding the server and setting up user accounts from scratch.

How to force users to enter their ID and password ?

I am considering installing AirPort Extreme at our office. We don't want guests connecting to our network. is there any option/software that will force the guest to enter an ID and password to connect to our network ? This is similar to what happens at the hotels when we try to connect to hotel's network.

The AirPort Extreme does not have the features necessary to create a "splash page" that provides basic information about the company and asks users for their identity and password....like you see at most hotels.
Basically, with an AirPort Extreme, users would have to scan to look for the name of the wireless network to join, and then enter the password to connect.
The best that you might be able to achieve with the AirPort Extreme is create a "hidden" network, which would require that users know both the name of the wireless network and password to connect. However, based on experience, this might be more of a hassle than anything else.
The bottom line.....Apple really designed the AirPort routers for home use, so that might be the best place for them in most cases.

Log in does not prompt enter new password for first time login

hi experts,
I have created a new client and conducted a client copy for its data. Upon creation of new user for that client, I've provided the initial password. When the user tried to log in, it did not prompt him with the "Enter new password:". Also when trying to change password in the log in screen, it says. "You can no longer change password". How can I fix this one? im using ecc6.
Thank you!

HI,
Check what kind of user you are creating first i.e dialog (or) service.
second check if you are having permissions to change the password (or) not.
For service user it will not prompt and for dialog it will prompt automatically.

How to force user to enter supplier/customer name in captial letters in R12

Dear all,
Could anyone pls advise how to force user to enter supplier/customer name in captial letters in R12? Can I do it using OA framework personalization?
HY

Pl post exact versions of OS and EBS.
The ability to do this exists in forms (professional user interface) using forms personalization, but does not exist in the OAF (self-service) interface, AFAIK. See related MOS Doc 399892.1 (Is It Possible To Restrict Employee Name Entry To All Upper Case in the PUI And SSHR ?) for some details.
Pl confirm by opening an SR with Support.

Forcing user to enter values at table level

Hi,
I have created a table ztest. How to force user to enter the values for certain fields in the table which are not keys, similar to not null in RDBMS. selecting the initial values filed in SE11 populates with some default value, but it doesnt force the user to enter the value.

Hi,
Just check out transaction code SE54 for events.
Go in SE54.
Give your table name.
Go in Environment --> Events.
Here add the Event '01' i.e. Before saving the data.
Give the name for event eg 'BEFORE_SAVE'.
Click on Editor to create an include program.
In the include program write
form before_save.
data: f_index like sy-tabix. "Index to note the lines
loop at total.
 if <action> = 'N' or <action> = 'U'.
 read table extract with key <vim_xtotal_key>.
 if sy-subrc eq 0.
 f_index = sy-tabix.
 else.
 clear f_index.
 endif.
 "(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
 "End of Modification.
 modify total.
 check f_index gt 0.
 extract = total.
 modify extract index f_index.
 endif.
endloop.
sy-subrc = 0.
endform.
Note here in field symbol 'Total' your workarea will be their. You can make necessary checks here.
Or else you can go for making a custom transaction for your requirement.

How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

Force user to enter text if checks YES check box

I have created a form with YES and NO check boxes. If user checks YES, they need to provide written reason. Is there a way to "force" user to enter text into text box if they check the YES check box?
Thanks,
Toyro

Hi Jodi,
Yes, it has to be saved as a dynamic PDF.
Additionally, there are some name mismatches in your form so the script was failing. My script defined page 1 as 'page1' while your form defined page 1 as 'Page1'. I renamed your form page 1 to 'page1' and the script worked fine.
I would recommend enabling the debugger in Acrobat for form developement. See Edit > Preferences and enable the following:
I added an additional button with some script on the button 'click' event.
The purpose is to intervene in the submission process, in your case submitting by email. With a single submit button the email dialogue fires regardless of failed form validation. By introducing a second button you can do form validation before enabling submission. The attached form has a visible button called 'submitBtn' and your original 'Submit By Email' button which is declared as 'invisible'. My 'submitBtn' is labelled 'Submit By Email'. When the button is clicked is does form validation. If validation succeeds, I call form1.page1.Button1.execEvent("click"); to submit to the email address attached to 'Button1'.
Take a look and see if it fits your requirements.

Log In Failed - Enter New Password

Hi Guys,
I've been using TB for a while now, along with the several email accounts, including: Hotmail, Outlook, Mail.com & to a lesser degree Supanet !?
Every now and then, when trying to Send, I get the message "Log In Failed - Enter New Password". I usually just click the red cross a couple of times, & it goes away. I never need to input a new password,,,,
but, today its one of the Mail.com accounts. I've been on their own site and sent the message. There isn't a problem with Mail.com, or my settings.
As usual, it worked fine until today.
I tried inputting the current p.w and creating a new one, but to no avail.
How do I fix this please ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm glad to see that the 'colouration' problem was fixed.

Thanks for your help so far.
I ''think'' this particular problem is fixed, but as it happens quite often, I have included the details that you asked for, in the hope that you can help me to either clean it up, or see any anomalies.

I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

How to avoid user from entering new price condition in return order

Dear Expert
We are facing a scenario where we make return order; the Price is copied from the invoice. And it is working perfectly. The system does not allow us to change the price.
The issue we are facing here is that user can input new condition like discount /premium and change the net value for the return order pricing, and this will reflect in the credit note for returns.
Is there a way to restrict the user from entering any pricing condition in the header or item conditions tab.
although we cannot change the original price coming from invoice referenced for return order, but the user can input new price conditions as below. This must not be allowed.
The price must come according to the Qty being referenced.
While making the credit for returns, the user has a chance of further making changes to the net value by adding new conditions. Hence this must also be restricted for any changes.
Thanks

Thread Locked - Reason Cross Post

okie .... i will tell briefly what is the problem ....
Take a scenario wherein a user has logged into my application and he is performing a task which will put his user id and his employee id into the session. Then he opens another window by using either ctrl+n or through files->new window.
So now a new browser will open but the session will be same ..... in this newly opened browser, user performs some operation which will remove the user id and employee id from the session .... Now if he again comes back to the first window and tries to do some operation, then a null pointer exception will be thrown saying that the employee id is null .... because he has deleted that in the newly created browser ..... to avoid this situation what can we do ???? can you please help me in this regard ??? you got my problem right !!!

How to allow user to enter new values in a segmnt which's having a ValueSet

Hi Gurus
I am having a DFF segment where user needs the following validation. I have to check whether the value entered by user is having status number as 5 in a custom table. I can do this by Table type Validation.
But the problem here is, they should also be able to enter new values which not in that table.
How i can achieve this. Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks.
Praveen

Value sets allow only for standar list for validation, not a combobox that is what may help You to achieve what You want. You either have a restricted list or an open field to type whatever matches the format restrictions.
For what You specify, I see no reason on having a table validation is the user can after all enter new values, perhaps it's to have the table values as references and avoid duplicates. Workarounds may be:
Add an "others" value to the table, and enable another segment to enter new values and add custom validation to avoid duplicates and insert the new values to the table for future use.
Have an independent value set and add a customization to avoid duplicates (more difficult considering typos) and insert new values.

Allowing user to enter new member in a dimension

I would like to know if it is possible to use forms to enter newmember in a dimension (for example a new project in the 'project'dimension). Currently we have created dummy project beforehand...But I have seen that the workforce allows users to enter anew 'employee' using a form... I believe it must create a newmember in the dimension ?

I am not sure to understand exactly how you are working...If you create three dummy project for every branch / sales area,does that means that actual project are consolidated in thoseproject? Then do you use the workflow feature? For example, how canyou approve or reject a high probability project code that wouldsum up several kind of project... In my opinion, it's necessary to work on 'single' and identifiedproject. In my company we have to be SOX compliant. I am quite surehaving a budget on 'unidentified' project is not really SOXcompliant... "It is better not to allow the users to edit thedimensions.It will create problems."I certainly do not want to give them administration rights norto much possibilité. But I am just willing to let themcreate new zero level member on their department... I believethat's what Hyperion has done in the Workforce Planning module. Isthere anybody who can confirm that? How do they have done that?

Skype Not Recognizing User Name with New Password

It is for my family account with my wife. I had to reset my password because I forgot it, but once I followed the steps as provided by the skype website, skype didn't recognized my skype name. For a minute, I thought I might have forgotten the name, but I sent a text to a friend asking him what my skype name was. He sent me the information with a picture, and I had the name right. So pissed off at skype right now!

When I initially tried to sign in using my Skype name I couldn't remember my password, so I clicked on the "forgot password" link. The Skype website then redirected me asking for my Microsoft account, which I entered and then reset the password once it asked me to do so. I then went back to the Skype program with the new password and was told that the Skype name and password do not match. When this happened I attempted to sign in just using my Microsoft account, but the website kept redirecting me to a page asking me for my Skype name and password. I even tried the "Sign in using Facebook" option and that even failed because it did the same thing: requesting my Skype name and password. In otherwords, signing with my Microsoft account doesn't work because once I enter that information, it prompts me for my Skype name and password, which is does not recognize - even though the Skype name is clearly listed as mine through my friend's information. It was just turning me is circles.
