Profile Parameters for Logon and Password (Login Parameters)

I've upgraded SM3.2 to SM4.0 and now users can create password with 40 characters. I want to return to max 8 letters in password and to big letters in password. I' haven't found appropriate parameter. Does parameter login/password_downwards_compatibility provide me compatybility to old login parameters?

Hi,
Also follow the following
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/10/19/attention-security-administrators-new-password-rules-are-on-their-way
After SAP NetWeaver 6.40, the password hash algorithm is changed from MD5 to SHA-1. This means that more secure hash values, which are not backward-compatible, and which make reverse engineering attacks difficult, can be generated. By default, new systems generate two hash values: a backward-compatible value and a new value. However, you can configure the system so that only the new hash value, which is not backward-compatible, is generated. You can set the degree of backward compatibility with the profile parameter login/password_downwards_compatibility.
The system can determine the type (new or old) of the current user password at any time. During logon, the system calculates the password hash based on the entered data and in accordance with the information from the user master record (see the hash procedure used) and compares the hash values. The system decides itself which part of the entered password is evaluated.
· If the user master record shows that the users password was encrypted with the old password hash algorithm, the system only evaluates the first eight characters and converts these to upper-case
· If the user master record shows that the users password is encrypted with the new password hash algorithm, the system evaluates all characters as they were entered (up to 40 characters, with no conversion to upper-case).
The new functions do not initially have any consequences after the upgrade; the operation of the system and password queries continue to run as usual. The passwords of the new type gradually replace the passwords of the old type.

Profile parameter for to change password

Hello everyone.
Is there any profile parameter to change the password after certain number of days say 30 days. I see there are profile parameters for lenght , uppercase, lowecase but is there one to change the password after a given period of time.
Thanks.
Neha.

> I checked the profile parameters using the program RSPARAM. But I am not able to find a parameter to prevent the old password from being used at least ten times. I also checked in the table TPFET.
>
login/min_password_diff min. number of chars which differ between old and new password
> And also can we prevent the password being same as user id.
>
> Should these parameters be changed in the deafault profile or instance or start profile.
>
It depends ... you may decide this by discussing with BASIS team and as per your Company SOP. I prefer Default profile. But never use Instance profile.

New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and accounts and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

First, reset your password as follows.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
If you're being prompted to authenticate when making changes to files inside your home folder, continue as follows.
Back up all data now.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. any way help?

junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

SSO Configuration not working - Still asking for Userid and password

Hi Guys,
I have configured Portal to use with backend server. Configured WAS & ITS and created System Alias.
For Testing SSO I did following steps on portal:
System Administration > Support > SAP Appliction > SAP Transaction
Selected system Alias and tcode se12. Selected SAPGUI for HTML. Pressed Go.
Instead of SE12 screen, I get Logon Screen asking for USERID and password.
I should be getting SE12 screen directly without entering USERID and PASSWORD.
I tested with Transaction iView (SE12) and getting the same logon screen. After entering userid/password it displays SAP Easy Access menu instead of displaying SE12
Please help.
Thanks a lot.
mini

Hi Sandeep.
Thanks for your reply. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Is the username same in the portal and the backend that you are trying to connect, ensure that there is the same username that exists in the system you want to connect to. YES
2. The ticket is imported properly- check the ACL and Certificate list in Tcode STRUSTSSO2.
Ticket is valid from 01 Jan 2009 to 14 Mar 2012.
3. Check for the parameters in place login_accept_ticket = 1 and login_create_ticket = 2 and icm_hostname_full is set to FQDN.
In RZ10 it has 3 parameters:
login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1
login/create_sso2_ticket = 2
icm/host_name_full = sapecc6.tri.com
4. What is the result when you test the system connection?
WAS & ITS Connections are successful.
Connection test for Connectors is giving following results:
Results
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.
My Connectors Details:
Application Host : sapecc6
Gateway Host : sapecc6.tri.com
Gateway Host : 3301
SAP Client : 800
SAP Client : EC7
SAP System Number : 01
Server Port: 3201
System Type: SAP_R3
I am using same userid for Portal and backend.
5. Are the 2 systems that you want to configure SSO in the same domain?
I am trying to connect R3 to Portal.
Please give me directions to fix the problem.

Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 keeps prompting for username and password.

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion TouchSmart laptop with MS Windows 8.1 OS. I had installed MS Outlook 2013 Standard. This laptop is joined to the domain like many of my users, however, it keeps prompting for username and password. The emails are still able to send
and receive without any problem.
I have tried to check the connectivity, both cables and wireless are well connected.
I have tried to reinstall the Outlook 2013, but it still occurs.
Attempted to recreate profile but it still occurs.
For the configuration:
I have selected negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
"Always prompt for login credentials"
Please advise.
Thank you.

That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.
If you have any add-ons that alter the page, such as ad blockers, try creating an exception for these sites and see whether that helps:

Sharepoint2013 Stop asking for UserName and Password

Hi,
I have Installed New sharePoint2013 Server , I face Issue that Sharepoint Site keep asking for UserName and Password aeach Time.
I set as windows authentication in both IIS and Central Administration ,
and I configure The IE and I set Automatic Login with Current Username And Password and I put it in Trusted site and nothing change.
I also have sharepoint 2010 server and when I configure it like above it
stopped ask me for UserName and Password ,
Can any one help me what maybe the problem in SharePoint server2013.
thank you,,,

Hi,
Try following these steps:
Adding the site to Local Intranet Zone:
Navigate to Tools > Internet Options
Under Security tab, navigate to Local Intranet > Sites > Advanced. Enter the URL of your SharePoint site and click Add. Uncheck theRequire server
verification (https:) for all sites in this zone box and click Close
Adding the entry to the Credentials Manager:
Go to Start > Run and type in control keymgr.dll to open the Windows key manager.
Alternatevily: navigate to Contorl Panel > User Accounts > Manager Windows Credentials
Select Add a generic credential
Add your SharePoint site URL, login and password to the corresponding fields. If this entry already exists, edit it to have your login credentials.
Reboot the computer.
If you are missing the Add button, you may want to modify Windows Registry to be able to save the password.
Note: for editing Windows Registry, administrator rights are required. Editing Windows Registry is not safe and you will perform it at your own risk.
In Windows, go to Start > Run and enter regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\.
Find the DisableDomainCreds entry. A value of 1 (enabled) will prevent you from saving new credentials.
Change the value to 0 and reboot. Now you should have the Add button available. Note that 0 is the default value.
Also check the LmCompatibilityLevel entry. It should be set to 3, which is the default value. If you have another value, change it to 3. If it does not
work with 3, then also try it with 2.
Reboot the computer to apply changes.

Prompt for username and password when executing servlet

In Weblogic 5.1 when I set the username and password in weblogic.properties file, it prompts for the usertname and password when I execute the gatewayServlet
weblogic.allow.execute.weblogic.servlet.servlets/gateway.administration=vijay
weblogic.password.vijay=password
But I guess this is not the way it can be implemented in 8.1. Please let me know how I can prompt for username and password when executing the servlet. I dont want it to be done programatically. Please let me know whether I can set anything on the properties file.
Thanks

When using SSL Word Files ask for username and password.

I have SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup and it works great. I need to allow users access when they are not connected to our local network, so for testing purposes I added a domain signed certificate and assigned it to IIS on 443. Internally when
I try to access the site IE now ask me for a username and password and when I open a word file Word then ask me for a username password again. If it didn't do it in http why is it happening with https and how can I fix it? Externally I know users will
have to login but they should have to only login in once right?

After doing some more research it seems that it is just not possible to use Windows authentication along with FQDN without being prompted for username and password in SharePoint. Can anyone confirm this? I am sorry what a bad design of a program.
Did anyone think at Microsoft that organizations might want employees to work from outside of their network in the year 2013 using the username and passwords they already have.

Outlook asking for username and password, but only for some users

Hello, I'm
in an Exchange Server 2013 client
environment, two CAS servers
and two Mailbox.
Some users are having trouble in Outlook 2007
and 2012, which is directly
requesting the user name and password, not all,
just some.
The Active Directory is ok,
DNS and also own Exchange
servers apparently do not see errors.
Has anyone here ever experienced this?
How can I solve this problem?
As this happens only to some users
and the vast majority have no problems, so
difficult to find the cause.
Thank you!
Ivanildo Teixeira Galvão

Hi Ivanildo,
From your description, only some users have an issue that Outlook prompts for username and password. In your case, I recommend you compare the normal and problematic Outlook settings. Here is the Outlook settings in my environment for your reference:
1. "Always prompt for logon credentials" isn't checked.
2. Logon network security using Negotiate Authentication.
3. "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP" is checked.
4. Use the NTLM Authentication when connecting to my proxy server for Exchange.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Outlook 2013 - Exchange 2013 - Prompts for username and password when EWS basic authentication is enabled

So we have an Exchange 2013 environment, and a CRM solution that requires basic authentication to EWS internally. Problem is, after a reboot of our Exchange server, all of our Outlook clients begin prompting for username and password (which nothing
works) which also starts locking users AD accounts out due to failed login attempts (somehow). If I disabled basic authentication on EWS, Outlook authenticates as normal using NTLM and there are no issues. Once Outlook has authenticated, I can
turn back on basic authentication, and Outlook will be fine until the next time the Exchange server is rebooted.
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that Outlook client prompted for username and password when Exchange server restart and basic authentication is enabled for EWS.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
It’s normal. This caused by the difference between basic authentication and NTML authentication:
Basic, with any version of Outlook prior to 2010, results in a pop up dialog asking for creds. Outlook 2010 makes the 'save this password' actually work, so in an Outlook 2010 or later world, Basic can mean no need to authenticate every time you open/reconnect,
but in all earlier versions, you will have to enter creds every time.
NTLM, when used by a client that is domain joined and logged in with cached creds, results in the client simply sending the cached in creds to the server, resulting in what looks like a pretty seamless single sign on experience. However, if you want to do pre-authentication
at something like TMG, and not let the traffic go all the way to CAS, you need to configure TMG for this.

Connect To Server Hangs Before Prompting For Name And Password

Hi Everyone.
Connect to Server hangs for 25 seconds before prompting for name and password.
I am trying to access a share on a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller via a Mac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) using SMB.
Example: smb://192.168.101.11/sharename
Once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
I have specified port 139 and login name, I have disabled IP6 on the Mac, the Mac and Windows 2008 server are on the same LAN and are wired.
Again, once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Damian

Something to add ...
Connecting to a Windows 2008 stand-alone server outside of the domain (e.g., workgroup) does not have the same problem - the name and password prompt shows immediately.
