Issue in reset portal password.

Hi Experts,
I have implemented "Forgot Password" functionality in our portal (EP7). It was working fine. But now we are getting an issue.
If we locked the user from r/3 end using TCode 'SU01' or if the user get locked for too many wrong password attempt and then he/she try to reset the password then this functionality not working. If we try to reset the password we are getting the mail with new password but with the new password portal not allowing us to enter. It's giving " Authentication failed" error.
But If we reset the password without locking back-end user then itu2019s working. we are getting the mail with new password and portal allowing us to enter.
Means if by any chance the backend user is locked then it's not working.
what could be the reason?
Thanks
Sujan Indu

If an administrator locks a user explicitly from SU01 (User ID Locked), then the user should not be able to unlock himself using the portal password self service application. That is the whole purpose of an administrative lock.
However, the application should work if the password is locked due to a number of unsuccessful logon attempts.
See SAP Note 1397312 -
"users are allowed to reset their passwords only if it is locked because of too many failed logon attempts. If the user is locked by administrator he is not allowed to reset his password."

Reset Portal password

Hi All,
I want to reset the passowrd of portal of some users.
when i go to user admin --->search and then click on modify , Iam unable to see the field such as automatic passowrd generation , Password and confirm password field for some of the users.
For many users Iam able to see those fields .......
can anybody tell me why there is differnce in the fields in modify page between the users.
Thanks,
Master.

Hi,
I think this could be because those users may have been created on your
Ldap. What kind of Ldap are you using?You can only modify passwords of
those users who have been created on the portal.
For the rest you may have to access the Ldapserver for this.
Hope this helps

Issue with reseting my password

I just format one of my computer, then when I reinstall firefox and sync, I forgot my password. So I used the service to recover a new password.
But it's appear I still not receive a mail on my two email address used for the moment.
What can I do?

JAMF software has a great white paper on using FileVault 2 with their Casper Suite:
http://www.jamfsoftware.com/sites/default/files/Administering-FileVault-2-on-OS- X-Mountain-Lion-with-the-Casper-Suite.pdf
While you may not be using Casper (though I'd recommend it for management, it's great), there is a ton of helpful information in there that's worth reading up on.

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

Then you might try this procedure to create a new administrator account:

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. :-(

A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center. You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address. 800-694-7466

Portal Password Reset problem

Hi All,
My scenario wants an automated process where the users can reset their own password. Do you know if the user password reset on the logon page is a automated process? Does the email with password go directly to the user or the email goes to the administrator and then the administrator has to reset the password? Do I need to configure the SMTP in my client system for this? If so can you give the steps involved for configuring SMTP?
I have configured SMTP server by logging as Administrator in portal -> System Admin -> Sys Confgiruation ->
Universal Worlist & Workflow -> Engine and gave the notification email as 'JavaMail'.
The again portal -> System Admin -> Sys Confgiruation ->
Universal Worlist & Workflow -> Email edit it gave the Host name as my SMTP mail server name. I checked my mail server through telner <mail server> 25 and it is opening in command prompt. Am I missing anything here in SMTP configuaration. Fileds like Pop3 User and Pop3 Password I wanted to leave as blank but when I click save in Portal , it self add some encrypted values.
can Anybody has done the above scenario.Its urgent.
I have read on help.sap.com and it looks like it sends an email to administrator and then the administrator resets the user password. Is my understanding correct on the above.
Can anyone provide me a step by step approach on the same.
Suitable answers will be rewarded definitely.

Narayanan B

Portal password reset page text changes

Hello Experts,
We are using Portal 7.02 SP13. We use the standard password reset tool for allowing users to reset their passwords.
On the logon page there is a link Get Support which the user clicks to reset his/her password.
Following this user sees the below where they select the option Password Reset and click Submit button.
We want to change the text Are you a suuplier having trouble logging in?
I have tried looking in the portal logon page PAR file to locate this text in some properties file, but a unable to locate it. Where do I find this text? Is it present within the logon page PAR or is there some other component within which I can find this?
Regards,
Saurabh

Hello Experts,
In the logon page PAR file I am able to find a JSP page umHelpPage.jsp which contains this line
<div class="urTxtH3" tabindex=0><%=logonLocale.get("HAVE_TROUBLE")%></div>
and when I do a View Source from the Password Reset page I can see the below line
<div class="urTxtH3" tabindex=0>Are you a suuplier having trouble logging in?</div>
I have looked at the logonLabels.properties and logonLabels_en.properties files under the umlogonbase.jar file within the portal logon PAR file, but for the key HAVE_TROUBLE I can see the text "Having trouble logging in?".
Howevert at runtime I see the text "Are you a suuplier having trouble logging in?", does this mean that this text is not getting picked up from the logon page PAR file?
Regards,
Saurabh

Portal: Password reset and unlock User via UME?

I'm new to Portal and SAP. I'm trying to find options to have a username unlocked and password sent to user based on a userid from our Portal logon page.
The end user needs only to know their user ID, and based on this user ID I need their username to be unlocked, and a temporary password to be emailed to them (Looked up from their user ID via Database)
From what I've been reading UME can do this, but when I look into configuration of it I'm not seeing anything that can define this to show up on the Portal logon page. Does this have to be developed and built in or linked as a separate page or is there a prefab one made already(nothing I could find showed evidence of this, although the documentation regarding UME hinted at this)?
The end user doesn't need to answer security questions because to get access to the portal they already have to be on my secured network.
Any help would be great!

Andrew,
This link might help explain what is possible with SAP Portal in terms of allowing the user to reset their password from the logon screen.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/7e6313d8780dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
As for allowing a user to unlock their account from the logon page, there is no such functionality that I know of. This would need to be developed. We are doing something similar. In our case, we are developing a module that allows user to retreive their user ID if they forget it. This also is not functionality that SAP provides. The user can specify their email address, and it emails them their user ID. This is being developed in Web Dynpro for Java utilizing the UME APIs.

Can't reset my password thanks to slow email and security questions issues.

I'm trying to reset my password on my Iphone so I can update my device and apps, but I forgot my password. So I decided to reset, using my username, but I never recieved an email to do so. I tried the security questions, and everytime I try to enter my birthday, the site keeps reseting me back to selecting my brithday. So in a way, there is no way I can reset my password? How do I fix this issue?

See this for contacting Apple security: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
Although your logic escapes me. YOU made several mistakes, including your security questions, not having a rescue email address, and having a weak password that someone guessed. And you expect Apple to bail you out of the predicament that YOU created instantly. They probably will, but it isn't something that you should expect.

Allow Anonymous Access to the Password Reset Portal

How do I go about enabling Anonymous Access to the Password Reset Portal?
The following instructions don't seem accurate anymore. Has this setting changed with Sharepoint Services 3.0 SP2?
When I click on "Settings" in Step 4 the only option displayed is "Permission Levels".
Allow Anonymous Access to the password reset portal
In this procedure you will configure the portal to allow Anonymous Access to users who need to reset their passwords.
To allow anonymous access to the password reset portal
Log on to the password portal (http://<portal hostname/PasswordPortal) as an administrator.
On the top right hand side of the portal homepage click Site Actions, and then click Site Settings.
Under Users and Permissions click Advanced Permissions.
On the Permissions page, click Settings, and then select Anonymous Access.
Under Anonymous users can access, select Entire Web site, and then click OK.

Yes, that was very helpful. Thanks!
Just in case that site dissapears and someone else needs this info, here it is:
If you don’t see the “Anonymous Access” menu option in the “Settings” menu, it might not be turned on in Central Admin/IIS. You can manually navigate to “_layouts/setanon.aspx” if you want, but the options will be grayed out if it hasn’t been enabled in IIS
First get to your portal. Then under “My Links” look for “Central Administration” and select it.
In the Central Administration site select “Application Management” either in the Quick Launch or across the top tabs
Select “Authentication Providers” in the “Application Security” section
Click on the “Default” zone (or whatever zone you want to enable anonymous access for)
Under “Anonymous Access” click the check box to enable it and click “Save”
NOTE: Make sure the “Web Application” in the menu at the top right is your portal/site and not the admin site.
You can confirm that anonymous access is enabled by going back into the IIS console and checking the Directory Security properties.
Now the second part is to enable anonymous access in the site.
Return to your sites home page and navigate to the site settings page. In MOSS, this is under Site Actions – Site Settings – Modify All Site Settings. In WSS it’s under Site Actions – Site Settings.
Under the “Users and Permissions” section click on “Advanced permissions”
On the “Settings” drop down menu (on the toolbar) select “Anonymous Access”
Select the option you want anonymous users to have (full access or documents and lists only)
Now users without logging in will get whatever option you allowed them.
A couple of notes about anonymous access:
You will need to set up the 2nd part for all sites unless you have permission inheritance turned on
You must do both setups to enable anonymous access for users, one in IIS and the other in each site

TS2446 i have reset my password and my apple id is till disabled. how do i resolve this issue

i have reset my password, however, my apple id is still disabled. it does not say "for security". how do i resolve this issue?

Make sure your change the password for your primary email address. If a third party is changing your Apple ID password repeatedly, this most likely means your associated primary email account is compromised (unless you have a verified rescue email address), which means that more than your Apple ID is in jeopardy.
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
Ideally, change your primary email account password, change your Apple ID password, update your security questions, add an alternate email address as a rescue email address, and THEN verify it. If you're able to do this yourself, that is excellent. While this will most likely prevent any recurrence of this issue, you should still contact Apple to verify there isn't any other suspicious activity.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Going further, I'd recommend using a different password for all online accounts, and I'd recommend securing any accounts that used the same password as your primary email account immediately.
