Unlock specified users which locked due to incorrect logon automatically

Hi experts, All users will be locked if he logon incorrectly 3 times in our system now and unlocked in the midnight.
Can I unlock some specified users automatically in specified time I set or is there any method to exclude these specified users to be locked even logon incorrectly 3 times ?
Best wishes,
Evan

Hi Evan,
Alex is right: it's worth to clarify (with the auditors) which system behavior is desired before taking any action (in terms of coding). Let me guess: those "special" users are belonging to the "upper management" user group ... - they just don't like the feeling of being "locked out" (even if it was their own fault not to memorize the password). Unfortenately, exactly those users are critical and potentially subject of password attacks (since they are equipped with powerful authorizations).
Maybe it would sense to convince the management to invest in smardcards (at least for that special user group). Using a non-password based user authentication mechanism eliminates the risk of undesired password locks - without imposing other (even greater) risks.
If you still want to implement such automatic unlocking (despite the advice given above) you should write your own tiny ABAP report which then submits function calls to BAPI_USER_UNLOCK and schedule a periodic background job for that report.
Cheers, Wolfgang

    Hi,
    >>>We checked all the RFC connections all are fine.
    in most cases such issues are very easy to track
    just check out documentation on where the XISUPER is used
    for example for SLD access from PI - SLDAPICUST, etc.
    so just check it out and you will know in a flash

  • PIRWBUSR - Locked due to incorrect logons

    Hello,
    after installation of XI 7.0 the user PIRWBUSR is locked due to incorrect logons. After unlock the user an set the password new in the XI (su01), SLD and in the Exchange Profile (com.sap.aii.rwb.serviceuser.pwd) the user is locked in the next minutes. Have somebody an idea, where i must change the password too?
    Kind regards,
    Markus

    Hi Markus,
    you can try the following actions:
    - connect to http://<server>:<port>/useradmin, enter PIRWBUSER as logon name with the current password, and see if a password change is needed.
    - if you are using ONE sld for two system, make sure that the 2 user (PIRWBUSER) have the same password.
    Hope this help

  • Locked due to incorrect logons ! (Lock 130)

    users are being locked due to incorrect logon attempts, but the usual lock type of 128 for this type of error is not happening.
    these users are being locked with 130.
    when trying to replicate the problem using a test user on the same system, the account is locked with 128.
    any thoughts?

    Thanks Wolfgang!
    I have been curious for many months now and have also done some "advertising" with developers. All developers I know agree, but some would like to see it happen first...
    We (over lunch etc) were speculating about the call stacks, repid etc and cprog were the main candidates.
    Perhaps we were lost in the trees (and tables) and did not see the whole forest...
    All people I respect consider this to be a step in the right direction, even if it creates some irritations...
    I am sure that SDN can also help to sustainably overcome those irritations.
    All the best for 2008 (and release ?) and thanks for all your insights and help to understand the system during 2007!
    Kind regards,

  • User is getting locked due to incorrect password every few minutes SAPJSF

    I have gone through solution manager configuration both as myself and as user solman_admin. Recently the Solution manager system was changed to enforce a more complex password scheme. After changing my password, my account is now getting locked every few minutes due to incorrect logon attempts. The System log states that user SAPJSF from Terminal <solution Manager host name> is attempting to login with my userID and is locking it. so far I have made every change I know to make to all the accounts on the JAVA side and to any and all background jobs that are running to remove my userID from these entries. My account still gets locked and I have no idea where to find what task or process is locking the account.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I have checked the audit log and it is not very helpful. Here are the results

  • User which locked the record

    Maybe somebody knows how to get the correct user which locked a record. The best way would be over the rowid of this record. I make a select for update nowait, then i get an exception. That means the record is locked. Now how can i get the user which locked this record ?
    Thanks for your help

    I can't believe that nobody has a solution for that !
    If somebody has a solution that will be nice. Thank you

  • Outbound queue locked due to incorrect password

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm having a problem to activate an Integration Model as I'm getting an error stating that the outbound queue is blocked due to incorrect password.
    I have set up the RFC destination of the SCM ECC logical systems wit a valid user (I tested it). I've changed between using a Dialog user and a Communications Data user. Between every change I made I've cleaned the queue using transaction CFQ1.
    Do you have an I idea of what I might be missing?
    Many thanks,
    Diego

    Diego,
    It is unclear to me which system you are experiencing the problem on.  Either way, the reasons are usually the same.  I will address establishing the ECC>SCM link.  Works the same way in the other direction.
    Every time I have had the problem you are experiencing, I usually find that the fault lies with me, not the system - I have made assumptions that were not correct.
    BD54 ensure that your logical system name is what you think it is.  Unless you are rigorous in your naming conventions, it is easy to become confused between logical names/hostnames/system names for SCM and ECC, ,
    NDV2  ensure that the SCM system is properly identified
    SM59  Make sure your IP address, or hostname is right. Make sure the system you are logging onto interactively is the one being accessed in SM59.  Make sure you have the right userid.  Password is casesensitive on some versions of R/3 and APO, but not casesensitive on others.   I always use UPPERCASE text only for PWs, at least until everything is totally debugged.
    From a technical standpoint, your RFC userid can be interactive or system, I always start with interactive until the intefaces are totally debugged.  You auditors may have an opinion the final settings in the production system in this area..

  • WAS Portal User locked - Due to bad logon

    Hi,
    Is it possible to adjust user's bad logon attemp in WAS portal 6.4?
    If a user enter wrong password more than three time, the system locked that user. It happened three times to admin user. We activated SAP* and unlocked the user.
    If any one knows like how to increase the number of wrong password attempt...it would be great. 
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    For increasing the logon attempts, you have to follow below steps:
    Step 1: Go to <Driver>:\usr\sap\<System ID>\JCxx\j2ee\configtool --> Configtool.bat
    ex: <b>C:\usr\sap\Y76\JC03\j2ee\configtool --> Configtool.bat</b>
    Step 2: <b>cluster-data --> Global server configuration --> services --> com.sap.security.core.ume.service</b>
    select property : "<b>ume.logon.security_policy.lock_after_invalid_attempts</b> = < <b>Enter Number</b>>"
    ex: ume.logon.security_policy.lock_after_invalid_attempts = 6
    Step 3: save
    Step 4: Restart the Engine.

    Trying to download a movie for flight home. Was asked security questions answers didn't match. Locked out.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • J2EE_ADMIN user getting locked frequently

    Hi SAP Guru's,
    The user J2EE_ADMIN in our nw2004s system is getting locked frequently. We have changed the password of this user in ABAP via SU01 & in JAVA in the secure store via configtool. The server was re-booted after doing these changes. Still the user J2EE_ADMIN is getting locked frequently. Also in SM21, we have a log <b>"J2EE_ADMIN locked due to incorrect logon"</b> for this locking which mentions the user as SAPJSF (Communication user between ABAP & JAVA).
    Is there a possibility that SAPJSF is locking the user J2EE_ADMIN ?? how & why ??
    Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sanjeev.

    have you solve this issue? we have the same!
    every half hour (xx:51:00 and xx:29:00), the J2EE_ADMIN user is locked by user SAPJSF transaction KRNL from the local host (terminal).
    We have changed the pass in secure store in configtool to the pass we used in abap.
    In "Visual Administrator" "Cluster>Server>Services-->Security Provider" the user have a checked box at "No password change required"
    We searched for other places with a wrong pass (Jco Connections = no J2EE_ADMIN used, SLD = no J2EE_ADMIN used), but found nothing.
    need help pls.
    regards

  • User unlock due to Incorrect attempts

    Hello Experts,
    We are trying to implement a solution where password reset should also unlock users locked due to incorrect attempts in SAP. Is there a way in IDM to identify the lock type of a user
    Best Regards,
    Mohammed

    Hi Mohammed,
    Here is my solution, it works, but you will have to add additional task and script to check the status(as well, it will take longer).
    Solution:
    In your order task group 8. Set ABAP User password(SAP connectors) add additional task(as first task), that will read from SAP(read the islocked - flag(for user lock) and iswronglogon - flag(for password lock) from SAP) and store the data in some temporary table(sap_locked_temp_table....), as well when you are reading the data from SAP you can add a script to check the result and in case of SAP lock - islocked=L, to skip the next task(skip the password change for this system). Keep in mind that you will have to do this check for each system, so in your temporary table you have to keep not only the userid, but and the system in which the user is locked.
    But if you want to unlock the password, without unlocking the user, it's not possible, as the flag iswronglogon doesn't work with ToSAP pass, you can only read it.
    My solution works in case you want to unlock the password only if the user is unlocked.

  • Trying to unlock the user, message says " user xyz is still locked"

    Hi,
    I am trying to unlock a user locked due to incorrect logins, the message "user xyz is still locked" comes up and user is not unlocked. I don't remember seeing this message earlier. SAP 4.7.
    Any ideas/suggestions, please.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Are you using CUA ? in that case you might need to unlock the user on the central system, Furthermore check transaction SCUL

  • User showing locked in SU01 but not in BP-Internet User and vice versa

    Hello,
    Why is it when when a user is locked in their CRM SU01 it won't show that that same user is locked on their BP-Internet User Tab and vice versa. We are eexperiencing issues where our web users are getting locked out. Are support team only has access to the web users BP-Internet User tab. When the suport team goes to unlock the user the lock check box is not checked in the BP. But when you go to the SU01 the account is showing as locked and vice versa, we're seeing the BP lock box checked but on the SU01 it says the account isn't locked. Isn't the BP-Internet User tab reading off of the SU01 account?
    Thank You very much,
    Alex

    Hi,
    From your question, I infer that the BP and CRM are using multiple User Management Engines (UMEs). If you have a centralized UME, you should not experience this issue. Please post back with complete details.
