Signon user name field length

Folks - this might be a VERY simple question, but here goes.
We have been trying to confirm the userid length available in ECC6/etc. Knowing that this has been constrained in previous releases to a shorter field length, i.e.?12? chars...we want to be able to use a firstname.lastname login format via SAP GUI, which for many of our users exceeds that character count. 
Can someone confirm that the permissable field length has been extended?
thanks in advance,
Al

Hi Al,
the username field in ABAP systems has still 12 character length. The username is stored in upper case.
However, if you are running a SAP NetWeaver Portal you have another option:
- You use an LDAP directory as the user store for the portal -> The username is not limited anymore.
- You add an additional LDAP attribute (e.g. SAPusername) to map the entries to the ABAP username (which still is limited to 12 character upper case)
- You use LDAP syncronization in the ABAP system to keep the users in the directory and in the ABAP in sync.
- Finally you use the Single Sign-On capabilities to call ABAP applications using the portal.
Kind regards
Frank
P.S. The ITS is able to use the alias-field in the ABAP user master record, too. See Online Help for details:

  • Predefault "User Name" field with Login Name

    Hi,
    Predefault in "LS Medical User Verification" BC does not work. I tried to do the following but all did not work:
    * Put a predefault value in the "User Name" field, System: Creator
    * Create a calc field "SCR Login", calc value: LoginName (). Set predefault of "User Name" field, Field: 'SCR Login"
    * Expose "SCR Login" in the applet. Field is blank in UI.
    We are using the vanilla "LS Medical User Verification Applet" for user verification and we want to predefault the User Name field with the current user logged in. How can I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Jasmin

    Hi,
    I believe Predefault/Postdefault will only work with NewRecord even and since the User Verification Popup Applet does not go to that event on load that is why it does not work.
    Since the client wanted to default the user name with the current user logged in, we just removed the User name field from the popup applet and pass the TheApplication().LoginName() to the Authentication Business Service.
    Thanks,
    Jasmin

    hi,
    215798     FBL*N: Special fields are not displayed
    Have you done the following :
    In the Line item Display list in FBL3N follow this menu path: Settings
    -> Special fields, and add field BKPF-USNAM from table BKPF.
    The field is later available for display,and you can choose it from
    the Line item Display list following this menu: Settings -> Display
    variant -> Current. From the hidden list you can now choose the field.
    If the technical name is shown for the fields, the special fields are
    are all starting with '1-U_'. It's important, that you add the Special
    field, if the field also exist as Standard field. The Special fields

  • Ascontrol - prevent pre-population of User Name field?

    OAS 10.1.3.3.0
    Is it possible to configure ascontrol to not pre-populate the User Name field?
    Our security audit has raised this as an issue. When we go to http://server:7777/em the login page already has User Name set to "oc4jadmin". We'd like to configure this to be blank, so that the username and password have to be entered.
    I've looked at the HTML coming back from the server and it's hardcoded in;
    input id="username" class="x4" onkeypress="return _submitOnEnter(event, 'loginForm');" name="j_username" size="30" type="text" value="oc4jadmin"Thanks.

    If you know where the orighinal html/jsp is, you can modify it adding autocomplete="off"+ like this:
    input id="username" class="x4" onkeypress="return _submitOnEnter(event, 'loginForm');"
    name="j_username" size="30" type="text" value="oc4jadmin" autocomplete="off"If the input is prepopulated from browser, this should solve the issue.

  • BP: can't edit "user name" field in section "employee data"

    Transaction -  BP, tab - identification, Change in BP role - employee.
    why i can't edit "user name" field in section "employee data"?
    Field is unchangeable only for one in a  ~800 BPs.

    Earlier it is possible to change the User ID field.
    Guess that this might be ur prb
    If this BP is used somewhere else I mean in some transaction/CRMD_ORDER/Support message,so it might be not possible to change this now....becuase the log will become incosistent.
    for e.g. if in ticket XXXX i have been assigned as reporter as...BP no 10
    Later you are assigning this to no 10 to some other person or ID ....
    Then the log of CRMD_ORDER or ticket will become inconsistent because the BP is now assigned to a different person who never worked on the same.
    Actualy i have faced this query during one implementation that why we are able to change the UserID of existing BP even if it is used in some transaction/message.
    Might be this is a new correction in the recent release.

  • Hide password and user name fields in secure form on landing page

    On a landing page I don't want the password or user name displayed in the "secure" form because I think it will keep people from downloading our e-book. It will cause what some refer to as too much friction—visitors will feel that we are asking too much of them just to download an e-book so won't do it.
    I found somewhere where the user name can be populated with the e-mail address, although I couldn't figure out where to put the code to make it work.
    Can the password fields also be auto-populated and hidden so the user can access the secure zone to download the e-book never even knowing that they had a user name and password assigned to them?
    I'd really appreciate some help here and please keep in mind that html and css is where my expertise stops so if there is a java solution I will need the code and how and where to add it.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • User name field in Document Information Record

    Based on our process design, we would like to use the user field to define the owner of the document (owner is the person in the organization, who initiates the creation of the document and owns it throughout the life-cycle of the document). An example would be the development of a new SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).
    The advantage of this setup would allow us to use standard role 155 for sending workflow notifications back to the owner during the review and approval process of the document.
    We would like to deactivate the automatic change of the user field, when a original stored in a secure storage area is checked out in edit mode. In this scenario, the user name that has been entered during the initial creation of the DIR will be changed to the active user (sy-user) that has opened the document for editing.
    Has anybody come across this requirement? Is there a BADI for document management that could be activated when the document is checked out in edit mode to deactivate the change of the user field? If not, where would we have to apply a mod. to disable the update of the user field with the active user during editing of the document original.
    Also, any other idea to make this work would be welcome.

    Hi Fredrich
    You would definitely be able to do this, I'm sure you could use the standard BADI on save to default this back to the original value, however, I see some issues with this, namely from a system audit perspective. Personally, I would rather change the original workflow and use a classification field (link it to table USR02 or USR01 to enable username searching) for the author to prevent it being changed.
    By changing the value you effectively lose your search functionality in CV04N because if a user is searching for a document he/she just changed, this will not appear for user based searches because he/she is not the user listed in the DIR.

  • Why there is autocorrection applied to user name field of Mozilla support page?

    If I try to log in into Firefox Help page, there is a message "Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields are case-sensitive". But if I initially type my user name in wrong case, then I can't correct it on second attempt, because autocorrection miscorrects the case again.

    Firefox does have auto-correction. You can set it to remember what you've typed in single-line text fields, and it will offer to complete what you're typing with a drop-down menu of words you've previously typed, but not try to correct what you've already typed.
    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-change-passwords
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-firefox-automatically-fills-in-forms
    Maybe you saved a username that had a typo? You can remove it by selecting it from the drop-down menu and pressing the Delete key.

  • Task Name - Field length Change

    Can we change the task name length for team members when adding a new task?
    Regards, Syed Faizan ur Rehman, CBPM®,PRINCE2®, MCTS

    Hi Syed,
    If you want to change the task field length, it is not possible. It is a native field which is predefined in the system.
    But if you want to change the length of the task name itself (for example "design" by "system design"), then it it possible since what matters is the task UID and not the task name.
    Hope this helps,

  • Search does not work correctly when including user name field

    I'm attempting to search for the word authenticator in my previous posts. I'm typing authenticator in the search box, my user ID (mthompson) in the username field, and selecting the appropriate datd range. There are no results found.
    That is wrong. When I click on the 'Your Control Panel' link, I very clearly see my previous posts containing that term.
    Why doesn't this work?

    The search functionality on these forums doesn't allow for a username to be entered, but it does allow for a User ID. this is the ID associated with your user when you hover over a link to your own user.
    In your case it's: 476329

  • How to display the User Name in Transaction MM04's output

    Hi Experts,
    My requirement is that in the Transaction MM04's output, along with all the fields displayed, I also want the User Name to be displayed.
    Here User Name must be the Person's Name and not the ID of the Person.
    Is there a way by which I can achieve it?
    Useful answers will definitely be rewarded.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Himanshu

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your quick replies.
    But my requirement is to integrate the User Name Field with the MM04's output.
    So, I need either an Exit or any other way by which I can display the User Name in the Standard Transaction MM04's output.

  • It won't let me start, I can't get past user name.

    When I try to get started it will not accept my username. No matter what I try. I did register through Firefox but that name did not work either. I am seriously hating this app. If I can't get it to work soon I will delete it and try to find a new web browser too.
    HELP PLEASE! None of your forums, FAQs or instructions tell you what to do in this situation.
    ''Edited to remove swearing - TonyE''

    In Firefox, go to Tools, Options, Security, Saved Passwords.
    Look for the entry of chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password).
    You will see a user name field there. Use that as the user name in Firefox Home and it will work.
    Very annoying and a pain to setup on the iPhone, but at least it works. My assumption is that Firefox Home needs to update their app so that it asks for your e-mail address instead of this auto-generated user name.
    This fixed it for me.

  • Custom report toshow the "Last Logon User Name"

    Is it possible to create a custom report to display the "Last Logon User Name" field that appears in the Properties of each computer object ?

    Yes, download the RDL file and modify the report. If the user name is not in one of the current datasets, then you have to add it first.
